Saw this in a supermarket today: “Physics’ Greatest Mysteries”
Exactly the questions explored by particle physics, cosmology and astronomy.🧪🔭
Some of humanity’s deepest scientific challenges indeed.
A strange moment for #UKRI to decide that they are no longer worth investing in...

'All the evidence points to a healthy, world-class research community underpinning a key innovation pipeline from which future transformative technology and breakthrough science will emerge.Yet, despite all this success, 30% funding cuts have been proposed for UK astrophysics research" ☄️🔭
Interesting... or alarming... 🫣
The latest budget proposal announced by the largest UK science funding agency threatens to severely affect UK astrophysics research. My colleagues and I are fighting back.
Someone needs to explain what's the government plan for UK universities to survive...
If 2,700 signatories, including six physics Nobel laureates, are not enough to convince them, then I don't know what they need...
Hopefully this will end well 🤞
If not, many UK academics should fear for the stability of their careers these days... 🧪🔭
The hearing about the UKRI/STFC funding strategy by the Public Accounts Committee is about to start. Follow it live here: parliamentlive.tv/event/index/... 🧪🔭
I couldn't say it better than the Astronomer Royal of Scotland, @astroroyalscot.bsky.social.
"...whoever made this decision failed to foresee the disastrous and damaging repercussions for UK science and the economy."
