We don't have shares in Shifters (maybe we should) we simply want our community to be part of something great.
Benedict Lombe is the third Black British woman playwright to have her play staged in the history of the West End - let's witness this, celebrate it and be part of Des and Dre's love story.

The observatory building is an angular silver dome on top of a long building extending to the left. The observatory sits against a yellow and orange sky and gray clouds, with rolling mountain ridges in varying shades of purple and pink fading into the background.

GIBLIN IS DOING THE FRINGE!
Come see me lament the fact Albert Einstein ruined my life in a show which is 1/3 science, 1/3 fiction, and 2/3 bad maths.

Section 28 didn’t come out of nowhere.
It came from a society where 75% thought homosexuality was wrong.
From a society that feared the sight of a man in drag would corrupt.
From a society that believed ignorance was better for children than any knowledge of gay lives.

I am so moved by the #youth these days. The unity around fundamental values that they are displaying gives me real HOPE that "We The Peoples" can still make this world a better place.
I think I haven't already said this so...
This month I started a Stephen Hawking Fellowship @PhysAstroEd!
Excited to work on lensing cosmology with this award from @UKRI_News.
Also SH has always been a huge hero of mine for personal and physics reasons so I'm well chuffed.
