I’ll be back at the Ri on October 4th, talking about all things dark matter-y. Come along!
Dark Matter appears to have shaped the cosmos from its earliest moments. Yet despite its profound influence, Dark Matter has never been directly detected.

Well done Matt
It was so great to speak at Cheltenham Science Festival (in one of the biggest venues I’ve ever spoken in!). Hundreds of super keen students came to talk all things extraterrestrial life, as part of the Great Alien Hunt book tour 👽🧪🔭

A call to Labour to Rejoin the EU.
"It’s nine years since the UK voted to quit the European Union. It has proven to be a disaster, and a disaster made greater by the election of Donald Trump.
The world is at a pivotal moment. Stark political reality faces us."

Labour needs to stop being so afraid about rejoining the EU
Rejoining would revive our economy and boost our security

Not just a pack of lies but outright lying in public office. Should be a criminal offence and those involved should put in prison!
Michael Heseltine says Brexiteers sold Britain a “pack of lies” and called for the UK to rejoin the EU.
He said the UK should be “at the heart of Europe” and that returning to the bloc would be “in the best interests of a generation of young British people”.
