Fascinated to see the results in the next few days. Probably 3I/Atlas is a comet. But this scientist says it may be a UFO

Sightings this weekend could reveal more about the ‘massive’ interstellar object hurtling through space — and getting a Harvard astrophysicist in trouble with his colleagues

Enjoyed the day in Karlsruhe talking to students about protecting intellectual property in the #optics and #photonics fields. We also talked about launching companies and careers as IP professionals.

Great comment from LibDem leader Ed Davey at Prime Minister's Questions - is the Prime Minister only going to complain about the #Brexit deal or is he going to do something about it? #PMQ #LibDems

Excellent question by @eddavey.libdems.org.uk at #PMQs on what the government will do to fix the #Brexit mess.
“He’s absolutely right about the botched (Brexit) deal of the last government, the damage that’s done to our economy and we’re just seeing some of the figures coming through in relation to that. That’s one of the factors behind how they crashed the economy”

Will they? Won't they? Latest news is that the US administration does not plan to take equity in any #quantum companies (at least at this stage), contradicting an earlier report.
Trump admin not negotiating equity stakes with quantum firms: Commerce official
"The Commerce Department is not currently negotiating equity stakes with quantum computing companies," the spokesperson said in a statement.

The Tories can shout at me all they like, but the truth is their Brexit deal it is hurting our country and Labour won’t do anything about it.

Today I urged the Prime Minister to actually fix it.
