"Someone, somewhere, has taken the decision to defund astrophysics research in the UK, but no-one seems quite sure who that was, or why." The latest on the impact of the catastrophic funding cuts to UK astrophysics, by me, in @natastron.nature.com 👩‍🔬🧪🔭 ✒️ www.nature.com/articles/s41...

The future of UK Astronomy & Particle Physics is at risk from proposed 30% funding cuts that, if implemented, will be "genuinely catastrophic". Great to see this detailed BBC report on the issue by @pallabg.bsky.social 🔭🧪⚛️ #STFCcuts #SaveUKAstronomy 🗞️: www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Congratulats to Dr Pía Cortés Zuleta who has been awarded the L’Oréal–UNESCO For Women in Science UK and Ireland Young Talent Award in the category of Physical Sciences. The prize was awarded for her work on developing novel techniques for the detection and characterisation of low-mass exoplanets.
