I was just a little too young for Moviedrome, but my Dad would talk about it all the time and it led to my teenage obsession with Alex Cox. www.bfi.org.uk/interviews/a...

The first details about this year's Festival programme are out of the bag! These lectures are always a highlight and cover some incredible interdisciplinary science. More details to come between now and the programme launch in July - stay tuned! www.britishscienceassociation.org/news/british...

On the anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic, we thought we'd answer a question that's often asked, "If they raised the Mary Rose, why not raise the Titanic?" Allow our scaled diagram to explain...

Looking forward to reading this - follows on perfectly from this year's UKSFN conference on working with activists in Festival spaces.

Excellent use of the term 'ghoulish' throughout.

At long last! This seems to have taken ages to come through, but very glad to see it happening. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Poster seen in Sussex Psychology this week.

Rounding out #bsw25 with a trip to sunny Southampton for SOTSEF. (And maybe a little advance planning!)

Amazing talk from Galyna Grygorenko, Deputy Minister of Culture in Ukraine. While their cultural institutions and social spaces are being destroyed they are fighting to preserve (and produce new) cultural life. Culture as resilience and resistance!

Fab flying visit to Hull to visit the brand new Colliderfest and speak at the Cultural Tides conference on supporting the new industrial strategy.

Happy British Science Week! I'll be heading to Colliderfest in Hull and the Southampton Science and Engineering Festival later this week - I just wish they were geographically slightly closer together!

Really excited that the BSA is involved with PAS - it's been such a pivotal piece of research over so many years. Can't wait to see what's in store in 2025!

This is really disappointing and terrible for cycling fans in the UK. Over the last few years it felt like there was huge improvement in visibility and accessibility in the sport, but this feels like a massive backward step.

More details about the UK Science Festivals Network conference programme are now live on the booking page. It's looking a great line-up! (If cost is a barrier to anyone attending, drop me a message because we have some bursary places available) www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/uk-science...
