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. 🔭

The Lunar farside, which is shielded from Earth's electromagnetic radiation, is a pristine and unmatched environment where future sensitive #RadioAstronomy can take place. But as commercial and political access to the Moon grows, so too does the risk of preserving this important radio heritage 🔭
Think of all the awesome science-ing we could do with an extra £20M......🧪
Kirsty GraingerEarlier 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...
Terrible news. Aside from learning more about the universe, we're not going to get much economic growth by cutting science funding. (If only we had a Prime Minister who was interested in supporting the north, and Manchester in particular, who could stop this.) www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
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
