FYI: the abstract deadline for NAM has been extended until the 16th! Includes a session on radio astronomy and the SKAO (with a particular focus on work by early career researchers).
The Cat 2009 — 2026 💔🌈
We said goodbye to a much loved member of the family last week. It’s been a tough few weeks as her health declined (chronic kidney disease), but she’s at peace now. We’re gonna miss her so much. ❤️

A helpful reminder for anyone who needs one:
Reform UK was called the Brexit Party before 2021.
In 2019, Farage said there was “no difference between the Brexit Party and UKIP in terms of policy.”
Same politics. New branding. Don’t be fooled.
