The @UKPlanetary Early Career Meeting is well underway at @OfficialUoM today. The first session of talks this morning were all about Mars, now we're onto the Moon, with meteorites still to come this afternoon.
Dr @Romiche29 giving the keynote about Chang’e-5 lunar samples @UKPlanetary Early Career Researchers meeting@EarthSolarSystm, with a full day of talks ahead. #UKPF2023
Fab to see @SophieLNixon of @UoMMIB @UoM_EES awarded a much deserved @lorealuki #ForWomenInScience Fellowship at the Houses of Parliament reception this evening, congratulations! #FWIS25
Stupendous Mahler 7 tonight by @LondonSymphony with Sir Simon Rattle thankfully recovered from Covid. So much intricate detail, carefully shaped.
Sir Simon added a 2nd half to the concert, by inviting the @BBCSingers to give Poulenc’s Figure Humaine, given that classical music in the UK is in crisis. The full house standing ovation was well deserved - see them at the proms later this summer.
Full house at #NSSC23 for @ColinSnodgrass of @RoyalAstroSoc talking about viewing the Dart mission impact an asteroid, from a new observatory in Kenya. #UKSEDS
