Leftfooters FC and East End Phoenix FC holding a trans flag after a match
I’m a trans man. If my football team followed the EHRC guidance for our match today, I would have had to change in a separate room and use a separate toilet.
Ultimately, I imagine the EHRC would like to ban me from playing on the same team as cis men.
We say no. Trans rights are human rights 🏳️⚧️🏳️⚧️

I received a heartbreaking email today: A paper in a special issue I’m editing is being retracted because one of its authors is afraid of losing their job and their legal status in the U.S. if they publish a scientific study on evolution. Yes, on evolution, nature's engine of diversity.
You want to undermine public trust in science and scientific institutions? Do *precisely* what The @royalsociety.org have done…
But her emails!
Beautiful
Thanks for all the fish...
Earth is ‘perilously close’ to a global warming threshold. Here’s what to know | My conversation this evening w/ the folks at @pbs.org #NewsHour: www.youtube.com/watch?v=iGkL...
At last, a leader that is willing to stand up to Trump and Vance. Go Zalensky 🥳
New from me: American government scientists are being barred from meeting with Canadian counterparts. I've obtained internal NOAA memos ordering all international scientific collaboration meetings be submitted for review www.cbc.ca/news/science... #ClimateChange #UsPoli #AAASmtg
I was just told that I have to remove “climate” from the title of an ongoing grant if I want to keep it. And publications from that grant cannot include “climate” and other forbidden words. I can’t believe I’m writing this from the United States of America. #AcademicSky
There is some chaos again in academic publishing, so a quick reminder that some societies manage their own journals in house & offer OA options, discounts, read & publish deals etc. Any "profits" go back into the Society to support charitable activities incl. education & funding #AcademicSky
A line graph showing atmospheric CO2 levels at Mauna Loa Observatory from 1955 to 2025. The y-axis represents CO2 mole fraction in parts per million (ppm), ranging from 320 to 420 ppm, while the x-axis is years.
The most iconic figure in the environmental sciences is the Keeling Curve, the CO₂ record from Mauna Loa, Hawaii.
@noaa.gov had a wonderful site where you could visualize and download these data, and now it's just gone. These data belong to us and we should not let this happen!
My luck was in again last night 😊. A sporadic meteor captured over Plymouth at 4:26am this morning.
More details about it can be found here - archive.ukmeteors.co.uk/reports/2025...
Part of the debris left after a meteorite smashed into the walkway outside a home in Marshfield, P.E.I., in July 2024.
Small fragments were tested at the University of Alberta and confirmed to be an ordinary chondrite meteorite.
A Canadian man narrowly avoided being struck by a meteorite that crashed into the walkway outside his home.
The offending space rock has since been bagged & tagged. 🧪

The UK forecast for the Quadrantids #meteor shower peak on Friday 3rd January 2025 looks great. The moon is just past new too. Look up ⬆️⬆️🔭
Nothing does Christmas better than a micrometeorite 😊
Is this allowed?
For context, I was asked if I could review a promotion application at another UK Uni.
"If I do not receive a response to this email by Wednesday 8th May 2024 I will assume you are happy to provide a reference and I will send the associated paperwork to you after this date.'

My favourite February radio #meteor detections using my homemade yagi attenna tuned into the GRAVES transmitter.
My second radio meteor detection antenna is now up and running and detecting meteors 🙂.
This one is a homemade moxon atenna tuned into the GB3MBA beacon - ukmeteorbeacon.org/Observing
Did you know you can detect meteors as they enter the atmosphere using radio waves? Here's a few detections from my setup in Plymouth.
Everyone should have a hobby... 😊
