Roland and producers like @juliansiddle.bsky.social did amazing work during the pandemic in 2020-21. Highly praised by BBC WS management, "We heard it on Science in Action 2 weeks before anywhere else". Continues as the best show to follow for climate crisis science and now US #avianflu.

There's nothing out there that serves a global audience (or UK one for that matter) with vital science issues of the day as intelligently and timely as #ScienceInAction. Please re-think its demise @bbcworldservice.bsky.social

Truly terrible move by BBC World Service to axe its flagship science news show #ScienceInAction, the world's best, smartest science journalism in audio for a global audience. Host @peaseroland.bsky.social is the most insightful, informed, energetic journo in the BBC Science Universe.
