I’ve been a BBC contributor for years, and I’ve just been told that now for the radio, “Dr” titles are only being used to introduce medical doctors.
Why? Why is my, or any of my colleagues’ PhDs, not worth the recognition? As a woman in science, this concerns me. Thoughts? @rosatkins.bsky.social

So excited to see Fifth Star Labs' Sky Guide app featured in this showcase for Liquid Glass 😍 it's controversial, I know, but honestly - liquid glass has really enhanced our UI. Chris, one co-founder, appears about 55 mins in - and I get a mention around 1hr 16mins 😇 www.youtube.com/live/hyFIakd...
Looks like it might be aurora time! I wrote an article all about how to capture on your smartphone content-staging.fifthstarlabs.io/featuredItem...
Absolutely, thanks!
Hi all! I'm after images of Comet C/2025 A6 Lemmon to showcase in Fifth Star Labs Sky Guide app! I'm hoping to make a gallery - if you have pics or videos to share, hit me up! All credited of course, and all equipment desired, from phones to professional set ups www.forbes.com/sites/jamiec...
That's what makes your image so special - showcasing that you can get a fantastic image of the comet without spending thousands upon thousands. If you can let me know any details about exposure time etc, that's always great to include. Thanks for sharing!
High-res is always best, so that would be great if you'd send me that! Thank you
Absolutely! The update should go out tomorrow but I will let you know! The app is free to download and the articles are free to read too, so hopefully you will be able to see it :)
Awesome, thank you so much! Greatly appreciated.

An excellent showing from the Perseids! Out for 70 minutes, counted 17 meteors, and about 7 of them were amazing fireballs - one streaked across a quarter of the sky! I predicted one every 5-10 mins, so pretty good showing 😊
It’s the peak of the Perseids tonight! I’m heading out in about half an hour with my Dad. Loungers ready, I’ve got my oodie and joggers. Hoping for some good ones, despite the moonlight!
Yes! I've had several discussions about this with my old supervisor over the years! Would love to see this happen, particularly with Wales having some of the darkest skies in Europe, let alone the UK.
This news is AMAZING 😍 ... but I don't like the headline of the first female Astronomer Royal for the UK. @astroroyalscot.bsky.social Catherine Heymans has been the Astronomer Royal for Scotland for years, and the last time I checked, Scotland was part of the UK...
Yeah, I think it certainly is more on the entertainment side. It's not a video to watch if you want the science. An interesting experiment to see what AI can achieve, but I think you need scientific artists to use it as a tool, with their knowledge to fortify the result
I agree, I think AI can be useful - but it can't be used blindly. It has to be used with understanding, almost like an additional tool to the artist's wheel? Sort of moving with the times, but it still requires training and understanding to utilise properly.
Amazing! If I could ask for some basic info about his imaging set-up? Scope/exposure/camera and broad location? I assume it's somewhere near you but he may have been travelling when he captured this :)
AI is used in astronomy every day in data analysis. Far too much data is generated for humans to handle. Even the discovery of 3I/ATLAS used machine learning (ML), a branch of AI.
Discoveries are uncovered by machines, but scientists understand them ❤️ (2/2) youtu.be/ArauDRFunmk?...
A week ago, I headed down to the BBC London Studios for the first time to comment on an AI generated movie illustrating the imagined life of comet 3I/ATLAS. Some elements I think were fair, and others were definitely artistic flair! What do you think about AI in storytelling? (1/2)
