Me too. I re-listened after hearing you on Science in Action & Inside Science last week. We got such great contributors esp Paul Berg. Pity we were not able to interview Maxine Singer.

I don’t think it’s good enough for the Royal Society to keep pushing the line that “issues raised about individual fellows are dealt with in confidence”, because Musk’s problematic actions are a matter of public record.
So please keep signing & sharing the letter: occamstypewriter.org/scurry/

If resident species only, mine are:
* Dipper (love what natural selection can do with a song bird)
* Curlew (monarch of our waders plus the song and calls)
* Dartford warbler (longed to see these beauties for many years & now common on my patch).
Can't rank them. Feeling bad for the barn owl

Enjoy this first class science journalism while it's still available folks. Science in Action is scheduled for the axe in October. Please re-think @bbcworldservice.bsky.social

The recent Origin Story podcast episode by @dorianlynskey.bsky.social and @iandunt.bsky.social about this topic is worth a listen. It builds on earlier podcasts from them on the same topic, and their book on Fascism. The episode is self contained though.

Episode includes a great story from Johnson Space Center senior engineer Ivy Hooks on her fight to redesign Solid Rocket Booster Separation to prevent "them destroying the orbiter with subsystems." #womeninspace

There's nothing out there that serves a global audience (or UK one for that matter) with vital science issues of the day as intelligently and timely as #ScienceInAction. Please re-think its demise @bbcworldservice.bsky.social

Roland and producers like @juliansiddle.bsky.social did amazing work during the pandemic in 2020-21. Highly praised by BBC WS management, "We heard it on Science in Action 2 weeks before anywhere else". Continues as the best show to follow for climate crisis science and now US #avianflu.
