Thanks! Just bought this book in the CERN shop which I'm enjoying.

A picture of a book on a bench. The book is called "The Matter of Everything: A History of Discovery" and is by Suzie Sheehy.

AWE. Thats what I felt at CERN today. Awe at the brilliance of human beings, our ability to collaborate on vast projects and our endless curiosity, and also awe at the magnificence of the universe and all the weird tiny things in it. I definitely needed this.

A snapshot of the Atlas particle detector at CERN- a massive shiny silver multilayered cylinder about 5 storeys tall.

The Synchrocyclotron- the first particle accelerator at CERN- which began operating in 1957.

ELISA: a small particle accelerator in a darkened room in the exhibition area at CERN- which is able to tell what things are made of by emitting a Proton beam, and is used for the study of objects such as paintings and frescoes.

I'm working out in Switzerland at the moment. Having a pretty stunning time. Here's a few from last week's expedition.

Alpine Toadflax, tiny purple flowers with wild bright orange stamens, nestling amongst the limestone scree.

Last light behind the mountains, and orange glow pierces clouds and the deep blue of the land.

The Cabane du Plan Neve, a stone built mountain hut with jolly red and white Swiss flags and a huge grey cliff face behind.

With all that’s going on in the world right now, I feel it’s really important to draw a distinction between ‘religion’ and ‘faith’. I’m not religious, but I have a humanist worldview which prioritises rational thought, empathy and kindness. I know many people of faith who hold similar values. 1/5

Letter sent to my MP outlining my concern about the role of British bases in the war against Iran, and the escalating threats coming from the White House. @irenecampbellmp.bsky.social

Dear Irene Campbell

I am writing as one of your constituents to express my deep concern about the rapidly unfolding situation in the Middle East.

While I welcome instances where the UK Government has shown independence in its approach to the United States, I remain very concerned about reports that UK bases and infrastructure may be being used to support US military action against Iran. This raises serious ethical and legal questions, and I worry about the risk of the UK becoming complicit in actions that could lead to significant civilian harm.

The recent escalation in rhetoric and military activity is deeply alarming. Statements suggesting the destruction of a nation or its people are profoundly troubling, and I believe they must be met with clear and united opposition from the UK and its NATO allies. At a time of heightened global tension, measured leadership and a commitment to international law are more important than ever.

This conflict will not only impact the people of the Middle East, but also has far-reaching global consequences. As your constituent, I feel distressed and fearful about the direction events are taking.

I would therefore ask that you raise these concerns with the relevant ministers and advocate for a UK position that prioritises de-escalation, diplomacy, and the protection of civilian life.

Thank you for your time and attention. I would appreciate any information you can provide on the Government’s current position.

Yours sincerely,
Lucy Wallace

"I don't want to happen but it probably will" is classic abuser language: "look what you made me do." Except it's not on the scale of a household, but of a nation of 90 million and millennia of civilization.....

Loving the new series of the #Traitors. Secret plot twist is brilliantly dastardly, and the thing that I love the most is the "undercover" cop who literally couldn't be more like a retired DCI if she tried. Someone give her a job on The Bill.

Lately I've been stuck in a rut of eating sugary junk. To snap myself out of it I'm being bold and setting myself two resolutions for 2026. Protein for breakfast, and no snacks after 8pm. Hopefully just as unglamorous but quietly transformative as a flossing habit! What are your resolutions if any?

I love cycling, but as someone who has experience of a quite few sports/industries, I'd say that elite cycling is about 40 years behind everyone else in acknowledging the value of women to their sport. Even football is ahead.

Completely agree and it's great that there are people taking advantage to provide for the local community (and visitors). I read a great story today about a community in Argyll that have re-opened their local pub. This community-minded spirit really makes places.
