Prof. Jim Al-Khalili will be our next speaker on the 2nd of May as Michael Mosley is unable to make it. So we're going to get fatter but be much better physicists. Fine by me. #WinSitP

Culham Fusion Reactor Trip – @fusionenergy @ReadingSITP

Well, last Wednesday was a particular highlight of my transient existence thus far. What was this amazing highlight ? It was a trip to the Culham Centre for Fusion Energy organised by those most splendid peeps of Reading Skeptics. Some time ago Mike posted a message on Twitter saying there was one last place on [...]

Chilbolton Observatory Trip

Well another stroke of luck. Davey and I were lucky enough to be able to visit a second site of science awesomeness as part of the national and international photo competition run by the Science and Technology Facility Council. That site was the Chilbolton Observatory just South of Andover. It’s the first time they have [...]

Curiosity is down and safe on the surface of Mars !

And what an a amazing journey it was. But there is so much, sooooo much more to come.

Up at the crack of sparrows this morning and straight onto the NASA feed so I could watch everything as it happened. There was even a graphic simulation of events as they unfolded to us back [...]

Tenterhooks !

Can’t wait for the landing. I’ll be up watching whatever feeds I can get my internet connection onto. We’ve got a fairly poor record of landing stuff on Mars so this is going to be a bit nerve-wracking. MSL could tell us so much about the possibility of life on Mars. It’s going to be [...]
