Let's celebrate #DarwinDay by reminding ourselves that everyone has moments when they feel worse for wear.
Darwin wrote to Charles Lyell in 1861:
"But I am very poorly today & very stupid & hate everybody & everything."

So, hang in there, #academicsky!

I thought I was going to have a quiet return to work this week, but nope! 😅 Turns out a paper was published before Christmas claiming dark energy doesn’t exist. Many of you have been asking for me to explain it and give my thoughts - it’s all coming in this month’s Night Sky News episode on 16th Jan
