Great couple of years for STEM women and the Nobel Prizes... (not). 19 STEM Nobels in 2024+2025... 1 woman amongst those 19... :(

Sad, but not surprising, to see the complete lack of understanding as to what is needed for a Physics programme in the UK to remain afloat (and flourish), particularly for those outside the Russell Group. Just ask folks... @physicsworld.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/education/20...
Quarter of UK university physics departments at risk of closing, survey finds
Four out of five making staff cuts as physicists say findings are ‘great concern’ for UK’s leadership in important areas

Observation of an ultra-high-energy cosmic neutrino with KM3NeT - Nature
A very high-energy muon observed by the KM3NeT experiment in the Mediterranean Sea is evidence for the interaction of an exceptionally high-energy neutrino of cosmic origin.

No disrespect @theguardian.com, but the socio-economic attainment gap at GCSEs (www.theguardian.com/education/20...) has been known and quantified for years (links, etc, which trace said socio-economic performance gap right back to nursery/early-years can be found at wripa.ac.uk/wp-content/u...).
Private and state school pupils’ GCSE results are now the same, study finds
Inequality still exists amongst the creative arts subjects, where privately educated pupils perform better
