I love the Science Museum, but yesterday (after posting a poster promoting a SM event) I was made aware that the Science Museum accepts sponsorship from fossil fuel companies. #climatecrisis fossilfreesciencemuseum.com @ArtNotOil @fossilfreeLDN @Cult_Unstained

Having this published is the best Christmas present. So much amazing work in this paper
We are excited that our #GWTC3 paper has been published in @PhysRevX! doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevX.13.… This is the catalog of our #GravitationalWave discoveries up to the end of our third observing run in 2020

Anne L’Huillier was teaching when she got the phone call from the #NobelPrize committee telling her she won. "The last half hour of my lecture was a bit difficult to do," she admits, but she went back to it anyway. "Teaching is very, very important." ow.ly/rR3M50PSkAY
