@statsepi.bsky.social imagine being an actual leading scientist at SpaceX or Tesla and seeing Musk taking your place at the Royal Society instead.

It's the same BBC that gives airtime to Israeli Government spokespeople or ministers to tell us that there is enough food in Gaza for an obesity crisis....the BBC has been compromised.

@statsepi.bsky.social your second sentence is the best concise description of what sadly it feels like to be a BBC viewer nowadays

Oh Professor Sir has an opinion does he? I too have an opinion. About where he can trot off to.

The only cause of crisis I can see at the Royal Society is a lack of principle.
