Nice! I know it's impossible to capture all the early works, but I personally like to highlight Ken Freeman (1970: Appendix A(c) of who makes it clear from the rotation curve of NGC300 there must be missing matter (using data from ).

What do you want to know?.

The elephant in the room comes down to. "if 50 universities closed, we would still be better off per capita than most of our peers . do we accept this or try to fix the system?" . if latter, put back in place student caps and 50% increase in tuition. painful though.

Interesting read on the potential (semi-)collapse of the UK's higher education sector from Richard Adams @GuardianEdu ; given the UK has twice the number of universities per capita that France has (& 3 times that of India), that must be defended/addressed.

@guardian @adam_peaty Nice to see in response that the Guardian has now changed the headline to "happy tears" and the "praise from his son", as it should have read from the start!.

Shame on the @guardian for the misleading headline regarding @adam_peaty's "heartbreak" at "only" securing a silver. His journey is awe-inspiring and that should be celebrated with real joy, *exactly* as he celebrated with his fellow swimmers and family.

To be clear, the loss of any UK HEI would be devastating, and not a position I would advocate; it is simply preparing oneself to answer hard queries along these lines. (numbers above only reflect "universities" and not other HE entities).

Important read below; worth having counter-arguments though to the UK having 3x the # of universities per capita than India, 2x per capita than France), 2x the # per square mile than the US & 5x per area than France). @UniversitiesUK @officestudents

@TeamGBicehockey @PWHL_Toronto @MapleLeafs Special shout-out to @K_DiamondsIHC and @Kingston_Sharks for transforming her game into something special!.

My baby's turned 11. she might carry 3 passports (UK, Australia, Canada), but her heart is tied to representing @TeamGBicehockey soon (while at the same time flying the flag as the UK's biggest supporter of @PWHL_Toronto and the Toronto @MapleLeafs). Keep an eye on Esmé Gibson!

Cautionary Statement: AS uptake of Physics is down 1%, so one might anticipate a drop again next year.

After 2 grim years of Physics uptake at A-level, the 2024 numbers from @ofqual are welcome. Numbers up 13% to >40k, far & away the biggest growth across all subjects, to (now) an all-time high. Downside? Very few will be taught by subject specialists. @PhysicsWorld @PhysicsNews.

My photons will be enjoying the beauty of northern Scotland tonight (Lhanbryde), whilst my body sits in Hull delivering a fun talk on "How the Universe Will End. " @SigmaAstro . :)

48 hours of outreach spanning the full reach of the UK: Beverley, London, Derby, Moray . thank you @Molescroft, @Stillnessinf, @DerbyHighSchool, and @SigmaAstro!.

Huge thanks to the Reception classes @Molescroft for a wildly entertaining set of sessions on "Living in Outer Space". the mechanics of wee and poo in space was particularly popular, not surprisingly. .

35 years ago I stood in a grocery store queue at midnight in Vancouver alongside Steven Tyler of Aerosmith who was purchasing nappies with some of the crew. #nonsequitur.
