One thing that boggles my mind today: LHCb delivers a crucial result that unlocks a whole new subatomic world, and UKRI - the body that actively chose to cut our funding - puts us top of their front page as though they are proud of our work. Make your minds up guys!

As our research funding agency UKRI throws loads of money at AI,

I’d have hoped they could have put some towards the environmental risks from AI and approaches to mitigate these

I'm here to tell you that this should be more than a suggestion, it should be a cast iron requirement. The quality of research project management is, shall we say, highly variable.

at least it's not about Jodrell Bank, which should apparently be funded until the end of the universe by UKRI rather than, say, DCMS :)

Lovely of @ukri.org to put the @lhcb.bsky.social measurement top of their news page. www.ukri.org/news/scienti.... It's a pity UKRI has chosen to withdraw funding for the much needed upgrade to the experiment that would let UK scientists explore this new frontier.
