OUT TODAY IN PAPERBACK IMMUNE HEALTH: A Myth-busting Guide. 'Beautifully written overview' @profbriancox.bsky.social 'Best book on immune health I have ever read' @thealiceroberts.bsky.social 'Utterly absorbing' Bill Bryson 'Brilliant' Chris Van Tulleken

I’m working with colleagues on this - I don’t think it’s a done deal by any means because it’s so damaging - it’s actually incomprehensible to me.

Same problem, lack of institutional memory, but I would say we’re better prepared to fix it this time (at least I hope we can fix it).

Entertaining and wide-ranging panel discussion on consciousness at the @crick.ac.uk hosted by @profbriancox.bsky.social and featuring me, @anilseth.bsky.social @kathaschmack.bsky.social and @cosmicskeptic.bsky.social Check it out, let us know what you think! www.lnk.to/AQOSConsciou...

I've summarized the truth about Loeb's 10 "anomalies" about 3I/ATLAS in one post. Thanks to @deschscoveries.bsky.social @michael-w-busch.bsky.social @cometary.org and @marshall-eubanks.bsky.social for contributing their expertise!

Hey space fans! The podcast I recorded with @profbriancox.bsky.social and other fab folks is out now! www.lnk.to/AQOSSpacePA It’s all about who owns space - increasingly important as we rely on it for so much of our communication. Bonus photos here too: crick.chorus.thirdlight.com/link/5r04kyg...

Yes! You must have recorded it on a TDK AD-C90 or something!

This was a great gig - if I remember right, Scott Gorham played the encore with us - Don’t Believe a Word and The Boys Are Back In Town.

This was great fun to record and challenging and fascinating, but honestly I still don’t know what conscious is - beyond an emergent property of a network - and I’m not even sure @anilseth.bsky.social agrees with that :-)

Those were the days …. brains in buckets ….

Join the live studio audience at the recording of our new podcast, A Question of Science 🎙️ On 21 March, we’re talking all things ageing with @statto.bsky.social, Paul Nurse, Linda Partridge and Lynne Cox. Book your free ticket to put your questions to the panel ⤵️ lostintv.com/aqos.htm

Yes indeed - 20 years ago …. I don’t think we’ve changed much :-)

I think we should go for both - sort of like the 12 days of Christmas. A 2 week-long Feast of Astronomy.

Huge congratulations - I agree that completing a PhD is both tremendously difficult and tremendously rewarding.

It does doesn’t it! Total bollocks.

:-)

I could not agree more. I think most people vote optimistically - for the party they believe will offer a better future. Aiming for competence is not a compelling vision, although admittedly at the last election it was sufficient given the circumstances!

In person tickets are full, but online viewers still very welcome for tomorrow's Gresham lecture.

🚨🚨 "Brexit makes no sense in a world dominated by Trump. Britain’s place is back in the EU". Great column by @jonathanfreedland.bsky.social on #brexit and the election of Donald Trump which I think has been widely misconstrued in some quarters. /1 www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

I don’t agree. I can’t see the big picture - what is the U.K’s place in the world? Are we to regain our place in Europe or attempt to be a lower-tax, deregulated country which is more US facing? The big strategic questions can’t be dodged much longer.
