Worth noting that this expedition was backed and funded by @royalsociety who still proudly announce it on their history page as "Advancements and Adventure". https://t.co/Ynx64lx3qh. Solidarity to those at @britishmuseum today talking about this.

“The conflation of scientific neutrality into political neutrality of the scientist as a citizen is actually a trick by mainstream liberal ideology that we’re helping people break with. And those who break, join us." Will you? https://t.co/FzJNdrpqNZ https://t.co/pCWv0CWY7L

It’s called Science for the People, and its awareness of how science fits into policy and politics is deeply necessary in 2018.

This is such a great story; it showcases human drama, institutional rivalries and the complexity at the interface of statistical mechanics, physical chemistry and computer simulation. And the whole drama came down to a bug in the code.

Proud to be a signitory. We need to #makethefuture liveable not allow it to be stolen from us by #fossilfuel companies that promote climate change/science denial for profit. It's not good enough that the @sciencemuseum's content can be influenced by financial interests.
