I am so dismayed a the statement today from the President of the @royalsociety.org that I want to publish here the letter I wrote to him yesterday urging him to address the clear concerns of the UK scientific community.
![Screenshot of first part of letter (continues in next image). Text reads:
Dear Sir Adrian
I write to request that in its deliberations tomorrow the Council resolves to take a principled stand to defend the scientific values written into its code of conduct.
In its attempts to deal with the actions of Elon Musk FRS, the Royal Society has repeatedly failed to explain how his repudiation of those values is consistent with the code of conduct that all Fellows must adhere to as a condition of their fellowship. As is now well established, these actions include attacking Antony Fauci FRS without good cause; spreading scientific misinformation on X [through his own utterances and by relaxing controls on the platform]; recklessly and unlawfully degrading the research ecosystem of the US as part of DOGE; and bragging publicly about "feeding USAID into the wood chipper", which the Lancet estimates will cause the deaths of 14 million people, many of them children under the age of five, by 2030.
The Society’s inaction extends to the recent brief exchange of correspondence between Prof Sir Paul Nurse and Mr Musk. Although there was some initial contact, when Sir Paul laid out the Society’s specific concerns there was no reply or explanation from Musk. For reasons that I’m afraid I cannot fathom, you chose once again not to enforce your code of conduct.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:jviud2kbpxo3lwd3do4mqepg/bafkreiev6nrcxar4eabbnj3t2p5tfi4icoeagakrqrtc5jhcq6op3424me@jpeg)

On the road again this week for a workshop hosted by the Quantum Software Lab at @edinburgh-uni.bsky.social !

Maybe a bit different (I'm not sure whether to characterise it as an interpretation, in the traditional sense) but the quantum reconstructions program is cool

Are you sure you aren't simply a victim of the Beeston Banana Bandit? www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
Beeston banana mystery deepens as more are spotted in street
The plate was seen in the dark in the usual spot on Saturday night but vanished in the morning.

Some updates from the first version that those keen on dual-unitaries might find interesting; we make some connections to matchgates, and flesh out our view on the dynamical constraints dual-unitarity imposes on operator space a bit more. Thanks to the anon referees for thought-provoking comments!
