I write the Nature Briefing, a daily email for Nature (@nature.com) about all the science, which I hope you will enjoy.
“The government’s phasing out of the penny has been “a bit chaotic,” said Mark Weller, executive director of [penny-advocacy group(!)] Americans for Common Cents.”

V much looking forward to talking at the immersive art and ideas festival that is *D-Fuse Nine Earths Summit @ P3* in London. See you Sat 29 November which is, happily, 'pay as you can' during the day www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/d-fuse-pre...

Interesting point! Springer Nature data seems to agree 'across most fields, we see a higher % of women reviewers compared with women authors at submission' but interprets this as a good thing as it suggests 'editor efforts to diversify reviewer pools' are working www.nature.com/immersive/co...

It's not even politics I just want to spend some time in a bubble where 'ranch' is not considered an ingredient (sorry)

Imagine having Richard Robson as your 1st-year chem prof AND then he wins the Nobel 😁 www.unimelb.edu.au/newsroom/new...

The Taz looks awesome! Thanks for flagging it to me. But the model seems like it might require some very specific conditions to work (The Guardian does it, for example, but has a HUGE endowment) thefix.media/2025/03/17/n...

The first exoplanet around a Sun-like star was discovered 30 years ago this month! Makes me think yet again of the AMAZING scrolly (published in 2013, pre-TESS spacecraft) by

This story is very interesting, and this detail made me feel sick. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Oh I am so on board for this week's @nature.com editorial! Take it from someone who grew up without trains, and took a 13-hour train journey on Monday: they are the frikkin best 🚅 www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Gonna restart my old Twitter thread about great immigrant and refugee scientists. Extra bonus in this one for those us who flunked a wee bit of physics here and there back in the day 😜 Rainer Weiss won the Nobel in 2017

Great that Nike-man Phil Knight will give $2 billion to an Oregon cancer centre. Jarring, to me, that much of it will be spent on helping people navigate the US healthcare labyrinth www.opb.org/article/2025...

Thought-provoking words from the former US ambassador to Hungary, where scientists and others have seen their democracy slipping away.

Today I’m annoyed that SnappySnaps is using AI crap on their sample tat. Surely ye olde SnappySnaps is about celebrating photography in all its shonkyness and real beauty. Depressing.
