I've been quiet of late about the UK astro/particle physics funding crisis, but it's not because I gave up! Letters were written, FOI requests made & now the Science & Technology Committee are convening another Westminster hearing on STFC funding 💪

17th Nov: committees.parliament.uk/event/28415/...
A full-on week, fighting to #SaveUKAstronomy & PPAN from 30% funding cuts. There were highs (👇hanging out with fab-folk) & lows (@ukri.org trying to erase history in old Council minutes) but the amazing support & ❤️ from the wonderful wide astro-community makes it all worth it. Onwards and upwards 💪🔭

Remembering #STFC legend Sam Burton on what would have been his 100th birthday.

I visited Sam back in 2019 and a lovely morning was had.

A pity UKRI and STFC don’t want to pay for it.

Impeccably observed silence for our closest home game to Remembrance Day. Disappointing result at the end of the afternoon though with Shrewsbury Town loosing 2-1 to Gillingham - A game we probably should have got something from tbf #STFC #Salop

It’s a joy to see you delighting in XTC. Have you ever been to the County Ground where they play “Senses Working Overtime” whenever STFC score? Doesn’t happen very often.

He legitimately deserved an Oscar for STFC.

And for that scene alone.

Completely understand why Prospect, Brian Cox, John Krebs and Steve Rotherham are campaigning with an STFC focus.

But you could replace 'STFC' with 'UK universities' or 'UK HE research' for all these claims about skills losses.

STFC is the tip of an iceberg, not the iceberg itself.

Inevitably, 2026-27 points and goals per game by shirt colour.
White looking favourite away from home, although that's skewed slightly by only scoring in one away game so far.
I'll leave 'Hamstrings Pulled Per Game' to someone else.
