I’m sorry to share that I need to cancel my performance at @RadlettCentre due to a medical emergency requiring urgent hospital treatment. The show means a lot to me and I know how disappointing this is for everyone Thank you for your understanding and support during this time

Dear followers. Please confirm to @Patriot19547112 that I’m a science bod and nothing to do with CNN. That my only connection is that we share the same name. Feels a bit harsh to call me a coward!

Such a shame that even now its ’first American’ rather than ‘first human’
"One of these ten could actually be one of the first Americans to put their boots on the Mars surface." @SecDuffyNASA speaks to NASA's newest class of astronaut candidates.

The Moon is about to rise mid lunar eclipse.. keep an eye on the eastern horizon and you may well get a fabulous view of a deep red Moon as it climbs higher in the sky. Eyes on the sky from 7:30pm to 9:30pm #UK #stargazing #eclipse

Dear Twitter. Trying to replace brake discs. Two grumpy stubborn nuts won’t budge. Using an impact wrench (battery powered) but not shifting! Have caked it in DW40 - any other ideas pls?
