A new pre-print has explored, through simulations, how radio frequency interference will scale over several years at the sight of one of the planned radio telescopes. The simulations show that with shielding, some mitigation helps from intended emissions. But the risk is unintended emissions. 🔭

Modelling Radio Frequency Interference on the Lunar FarsideTechnological progress is a double-edged sword in the world of radio astronomy: improvements in antennas, receivers, and digital backends increase sensitivity, but rapid growth in terrestrial and orbi...arxiv.org

Think of all the awesome science-ing we could do with an extra £20M......🧪

Earlier this year UKRI launched a funding call to invest £40M in ONE AI lab. www.ukri.org/opportunity/... For some unknown reason they decided to fund TWO AI labs at the cost of £60M. An extra £20M. Just found. That's the equivalent of 7 more years of Jodrell Bank. www.ukri.org/news/ukri-la...

Waking up to the devastating news from Berlin Pride and thinking of everyone affected. This was an attack on a community carried out by individuals. Unfortunately, people will use this attack to further their own agendas instead of showing love and support to those that need it. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🇩🇪 #Pride
