My "American Week" for @tomswarbrick.bsky.social's programme on the UK's @lbc.co.uk. This week: Trump threatens to rig the midterms Epstein documents cause fresh fury for victims U.S. can't even enjoy a Super Bowl halftime show any more 🎧: audioboom.com/posts/885826... #Trump #Epstein #BadBunny

BREAKING: Over 680 members of the National Academy of Sciences, Medicine, and Engineering have endorsed articles of impeachment against RFK Jr. (1/2 🧵)

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

Happy Anniversary my love ❤️ @carlpercival.bsky.social

Ruby finally made it to the ALS and she met the legendary Craig Taatjes

My best friends’ kids in uk call me auntie. It’s cute. It’s a term of endearment for the people they love and feel safe around just like their own blood relatives.

Congratulations 🙌

We want to hear from primary school teachers in the UK! Help us make marine science more diverse & inclusive by sharing your insights in our survey about how the ocean features in your teaching. 🌊🔍🌈 plymouthlab.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_... Please RT & share! 📩 🔃 #education #DiversityInSTEM

The government may be shut down, but that won't stop our Save NASA Science Day of Action. Nearly 300 advocates are joining me here in D.C. on Monday to #SaveNASAScience More: planetary.org/dayofaction

🔥From Time Magazine - A 24% cut. Mars samples abandoned. Moon missions canceled. A $4B telescope locked in a clean room. Trump is torching NASA’s future, and hundreds of NASA workers are sounding the alarm. Support the brave #NASA workers speaking out here ➡️ zurl.co/NteCb zurl.co/kSFbl

“The signatories of the #VoyagerDeclaration warned the space agency’s leadership about the consequences of major budget cuts that would halt many science missions.” Sign your support for the #NASA employees: actionnetwork.org/forms/suppor... www.nytimes.com/2025/07/21/s... @kchang.bsky.social

Earlier this month, the government websites that hosted the authoritative, peer-reviewed national climate assessments went dark. Officials say they're only obligated to give the reports to Congress.

Our efforts are WORKING to Save NASA Science! This is a huge step, but the work is not over. Thank you to everyone who wrote to your Reps, signed our petition, shared our updates, or spoke to a friend. Keep contacting Congress, we are almost to the finish line. www.planetary.org/press-releas...

Three boys in Murrieta, CA—Jacob, his brother Tommy, and their friend Thomas—set up a lemonade stand, not for extra money but to support our campaign to 'Save NASA Science.' They raised $97 and donated it to our efforts. When kids stand up for space with lemonade, there’s hope for the future.🍋

Back at the ALS. But this time I got a day off and the family came up north and Ruby finally got to see UC Berkeley!

Today, we delivered a global petition with 20,787 names on it. 20,787 people from all fifty states and around the world raised their voices for NASA. Thank you for adding your name. Thank you for taking a stand to Save NASA Science. 📸 1: NASA/Ben Smegelsky

Today is the LAST day to sign our petition! We’re just shy of 20k signatures, with thousands supporting space science. Congress needs to hear from you. Add your name and show that you stand against these cuts. planet.ly/petition

The Planetary Society will provide a NASA budget briefing on Thursday, June 12, at 12pm ET where we'll answer the science community's questions. Register for free: us06web.zoom.us/webinar/regi...

Need data to explain the disastrous proposed cuts to NASA? Here are seven charts that lay out why The White House’s FY2026 budget proposal poses a historic threat to NASA. www.planetary.org/articles/nas...

dashboards.planetary.org/nasa-science... Look at the economic impact that the investment in NASA has on every state. It won't just be loss of science but a huge hit to the economy. You get more $ back than you put in by a long way!

Please sign, so close….

Our global petition to save NASA science closes this Thursday, and we’re just shy of 15,000 signatures! Every name counts, this petition will be hand-delivered to members of Congress. Add yours today, Save NASA Science. planet.ly/petition

I just have to say for those of you not in LA that in the days before the horrible raids started, there was no crisis or whatever they would let you believe. It wasn't like something was escalating out of control and somebody had to step in. THEY are creating the problems.

Lets do this! The proposed cuts to science funding are just devastating. It threatens USA's leadership in science. NASA is one of the country's most famous brands, why would you want to destroy it?

BREAKING: The president's budget request just hit Congress, which could usher in a dark age for NASA space science. Congress has the final say, but you can help shape the outcome by adding your name to our global petition. This is just the start of our fight. Sign the petition: planet.ly/petition

Totally! Mars sample return cancelled too. All that infrastructure/years of research just wasted 🧪

Please send this to anyone and everyone, the proposed cuts would devastate science at NASA, and if MSR is stopped I can't see JPL surviving 🧪 aas.org/urge-nasa-su...

I watched Anora so you don’t have to. Utter garbage.

💔 I am heartbroken, Stan Sander passed away over the weekend. Such a lovely man and a great scientist. Here is the last picture I have of him at a group lunch, during happier times. Work will feel horrible today, he will be missed so much.

What the actual!?

It is not just CO2 data, this would be so short sighted, JPL have been waiting to get power to our Ozone LIDAR since the '22 eruption cut off the main power to the site. We have data on the ozone layer going back to 1993

@carlpercival.bsky.social your work!

icck2025.lbl.gov Abstract submission deadline for oral presentations is March 16th for ICCK to be held at Lake Tahoe, CA, June 8-13, 2025. We have an excellent lineup of plenary and invited speakers, covering a wide range of problems in chemical kinetics.

At the moment, mansion-sized Asteroid 2024-YR4 has a one-in-fifty chance of hitting Earth in the next eight years. Now might be a bad time to reduce spending on Science. Just sayin’.

Delighted for you all! I saw some news earlier about a ceremony for citizenship and wondered if you’d be there. Congratulations John. 🇮🇪

John, @rburke.bsky.social and I are so happy for you! We needed some good news. It is wonderful news! I wish I could get a European passport, I am the only one in the fam that can’t. Congrats!

My 2 girls always thought this was their Dad’s personal aircraft @carlpercival.bsky.social

Milestone reached! Our atmospheric aircraft at the FAAM Airborne Laboratory has logged 10,000 flight hours since 1981, with 6,849 hours dedicated to ground-breaking science. Read the story: ncas.ac.uk/10000-hours-...

This will be a very useful seminar for all of our colleagues and friends who have been impacted by the recent fires. Please let people know.

The first 3,000 people to join the Zoom session will be admitted; additional guests will be directed to a livestream of the program. scienceexchange.caltech.edu/connect/fire...
