In this post, Meta's Yann LeCun sets out how Europe can attract the world's best and brightest scientists. I think this is right and echos something I advocated for in my Memorandum on COP: www.britainsworld.org.uk/p/the-memora...

1) on this day, 1649, King Charles I was executed
2) on this day, 1965, Winston Churchill's state funeral

It was great to return to my old college today to speak about a career in science and tech policy. Really engaged students and also had the chance to say thank you to some of my teachers

This week's Big Ask: Other than the US, which three countries will define 2025?
I said that for those particularly interested in science and technology, keep an eye on developments in the PRC, Japan, and Germany.

As a research in science and tech policy, I thought it was important to try Waymo when I was in Scottsdale last week. A v smooth journey and never felt worried. These have already been operating on the road for years in Phoenix... we may see the first self-driving cars in the UK from 2026
