One more #Oxfordpubreview: this was a fun find. Really exquisite food. The flaky pork, mac n cheese on a burger! The Crown and Horns in East Isley. #chefkiss

Another #Oxfordpubreview, this roast is from the Coach and Horses Inn in Chisel Hampton. Nice gravy, plentiful. Nice veg, pud, and beef! #Oxford #food

It's not #beer, but it's totally #Beer (small town in Devon) #bskybeer #beersky

The next #Oxfordpubreview is a Sunday roast from The White Hart at Fyfield. It's on the more expensive side, but it looks fine and it was fine! The beef, the start of the plate was one of the best! #Oxford #food

Caught in a little big weekend traffic... So I can catch up on another #Oxfordpubreview! Fish and chips and fish sandwich from the Victory, accessed by punt up the river Cherwell. Always a good time and very worthy food!! #Oxford #food

@jonnyjjt.bsky.social I got it!! Finally!!

Hey UK, this isn't a heat wave, this is just what happens when the Sun comes out. When it's dropping to 13 degrees overnight, you're all fine. When it's the middle of the night and we're trying to sleep and it's still 27 in the dark.... then we'll talk!

I appreciated the StarShip press coverage for running this. The last couple "successfuk" Starship landings all exploded after touching down. When writing about it for the Conversation, I received pushback pointing out that successful missions exploded. These are for people. They shouldn't do that. 🔭

Kinda excited for Chemical Bros with Go coming back to the UK top ten, most popular song on social media..... eleven years after release. Number 11 in UK dance 2015, number one in 2026!!

Check out this video (insta link) of the Tumbleweed.Mars wind blown river concept operating in the Atacama desert. Excellent progress from a persevering team! 👏 www.instagram.com/reel/DYPmyZF... 🔭🧪 #planetsci

Lunar Thermal Mapper instrument paper is out, despite the misadventure of the Trailblazer mission. Good work LTM team!! @oxfordphysics.bsky.social doi.org/10.1029/2025... 🔭🧪 #planetsci #moon

#egu I don't think I've ever seen such a problematic group of people disrespecting a coffee queue in my life 🤣

Dr Bethan Gregory's version of the Planetary Climate Model has a realistic chlorine cycle that repeats year to year. Here she is deftly handling a number or interested questions. #EGU #EGU2026 Good start to a Wednesday morning!! #planetsci

#beersky #bskybeer #egu #egu26 OG Budweiser

@oxfordphysics.bsky.social is well represented at EGU this year. From the planetary physics section, first action came from the very impressive Emma Belhadfa on the Monday. Presenting field work in the Scottish Highlands! 🧪🔭 #planetsci #egu #egu2026

Fiona Henderson pitching the Earth observing version of BEBOP to the Oxford Moonshot competition!!! Well done!!! 🧪🔭

Little slow on posting, but great team shot from the ExoMars ACS-NOMAD joint science team meeting in Granada last week. Thanks, Juan and the IAA for hosting us! 🔭🧪 #planetsci

Curiosity is reporting organics on Mars again. The experiment is the neat part though. The Sample Analysis on Mars experiment took ~70 sample cups with it and 9 were for wet chemistry experiments , and this one used up 1 of 2 with a strong alkaline base 🧵1/4 doi.org/10.1038/s414... 🔭🧪 #planetsci

Mars radio occultation: we've been using the radio comms between ExoMars TGO and Mars Express to see how the beams bend through Mars' ionosphere, but actually managed to watch a solar flare through it!! Check the story: www.esa.int/Science_Expl... 🧪🔭 #planetsci

#Oxfordpubreview Surprise ! The Big Smoke smash burger at London Gatwick was actually pretty good. I'd been here before and didn't rate it (airport food too). Sunday afternoon kitchen staff must be their A-Team 😭 #food #London #lgw

#Oxfordpubreview! Checked in with the Rickety Press before seeing #Akira on the big screen. The Seoul Bird is still on point! Perfect fried chicken! #Oxford #food

Space Night at the Oxford Covered Market was a huge success! Thank you to all of our speakers volunteering their time and planning talks, to the Space Store for the organization, to the Market Tap, Gulp Fiction, and the rest of the market for hosting us, and to the audience for coming to listen! 🔭🧪

Space Night at the Covered Market! This Sat 18 from 5pm. Oxford physicists like @DrKSOlsen and others, are hosting an evening of Space in collaboration with the Space Store, Tap Social, & Gulp Fiction.

Throwback to the first Space Night in the Covered Market

#outreach in #Oxford!? Space Night in the Oxford Covered Market with trivia! Speakers from @oxfordphysics.bsky.social 🔭🧪

One of the closing arguments we wrote in an article in @theconversation.com about the future of Artemis was: "With Nasa’s topline budget remaining largely flat, the higher cadence (frequency) of lunar missions outlined in Nasa’s changes to Artemis would increase pressure on agency resources." 🔭🧪1/2

Welcome home, Jeremy Hansen!! 🔭🧪

But, really, will there be any negative consequences for Trump? There never are...

Nice piece by @hannah-richter.bsky.social on @science.org news on the NASA plans to build a nuclear propulsion Mars mission in under 3 years. doi.org/10.1126/scie... Besides many challenges, there is a small, but not zero change that a new sat doesn't make it and re-enters. What then? 🔬🔭 #planetsci

Good luck on your journey to the Moon, Artemis II! You didn't need to fly here, though. We sent you a summon.

Look at me! I'm an Eridian!! #projectHailMary 🔭 #Dorset

Back to bird-posting, here's the resident ruffed grouse out at the lake this winter. Saw him every day! 🪶🦉 #birdsky #birds

Some thoughts on NASA's "Ignition", the Moon base, trying to get a reactor into space before the next administration, a new frankness, etc www.economist.com/science-and-...

Ever wonder where the science landed on bio-signatures on exoplanets? Our @oxfordphysics.bsky.social colleague @astrojake.bsky.social has written up a succinct summary of the drama and what the latest paper adds. It's a good read! astrojake.substack.com/p/the-k2-18b... 🔭🧪 #planetsci

RIP Canada Lunar Rover 😥 Sad to see you go, but excited to see what will come next! www.cbc.ca/news/science... 🔭🧪 #planetsci

Oxford Planets and Life (OPAL) just held its wildly successful Planets Day at @jesusoxford.bsky.social . They've managed to bring together a wildly diverse group of researchers interested in the origins of life planets, from biology, medicine, history, paleontology, earth science, the museum.... 🔭🧪

10 … 9 … 8 … 7 … 6 … 5 … 4 … 3 … 2 … 1 … Lift-off! liftoff! Ten years ago this morning (at 09:31 UT) saw the launch of ExoMars-16 mission. Take a moment to celebrate this! 🧪🔭 #planetsci

Fiona Henderson ( @oxfordphysics.bsky.social ) and I have written a new article for @theconversation.com on what a #Moon base could look like. Fi's a lunar scientist and did a great job, check it out! 🧪🔭 #planetsci theconversation.com/nasa-plans-t...

@laylamoran.bsky.social This is impossible to read and should not count as notice. How does another tax actually help the neighborhood? Most of the area is not affected by parking the new high-rises....

Little slow to post, but @arcticsaxifrage.bsky.social (John Moores, York University) was in the department last week for some meeting and gave us a seminar about his work. Totally #Plutonic On the slide, the image of #Pluto says: I'm glad you finally found me, I hope we can be friends 🧪🔭 #planetsci

Rough headline from @gizmodo.com: "The Stupidest Glitch Imaginable Killed a $72 Million Lunar Mission in a Single Day" Hope these companies are taking notes....🧪🔭 #planetsci #moon gizmodo.com/the-stupides...

Got to attend my first #Oxford graduation ceremony! Congratulations to Dr. Reid, @mhairireid.bsky.social, who formally graduated from @kelloggoxford.bsky.social this weekend! 🧪⚒️ #paleosky

Congratulations Shubham on your successful PhD viva! Here's to a bright future exploring #Venus #planetsci

Congratulations to Dr Agata Carreira, a Dr Sara Hope Brown Research Associate in the Nuffield Department of Surgical Sciences, who's been awarded a 2-year MSCA Postdoctoral Fellowship by the European Commission to independently develop her research on prostate cancer 👏 https://ow.ly/lrLz50Yf6yF

Our Cosmic Connections public outreach event at the Jesus College Digital Hub was a smashing success! Thank you to everyone who came and learned about space, to all our volunteers who came to speak and engage, and our host @jesusoxford.bsky.social!!👏 🧪🔭 #Oxford #space @oxfordphysics.bsky.social

Hey #Oxford! Not too late to get your tickets to Cosmic Connections! Our public outreach event on space research with Jesus College and Tap Social!! @oxfordphysics.bsky.social

A little late showing this, but we had a lovely visit from Keven Roy at Moody's last week, when he delivered our weekly seminar in @oxfordphysics.bsky.social He is leading catastrophe modeling to show the impact that unmitigated climate change is having on our economies

Who's been watching the #Olympics Dual moguls!!?? What a wild event! 🥇for Canada🇨🇦, Mikhail Kingsbury wins the first ever Olympic dual moguls, giving him 2 Olympic golds and 3 silver medals! This is one of my favourite skiers, Ikuma Horishima, getting a little wild and still making it to the final!

Let's go #Canada! Mikhail Kingsbury kicking it off in the #Olympics #moguls
