  1. This is the best weather report I’ve seen for ages. Exciting, informative, and with a chance of snow over the weekend.

  2. This evening: Prof Steve Blundell on the first 101 years of superconductivity…including a flying train! 20:15, Clarendon lab.

  3. @bangscience You may enjoy this (inspired by a Domestic Science from Bang! issue 3!).

  4. @declanfleming Cheers!

  5. @JamieBGall Cheers! It’s actually my FameLab first round talk, videoified. I blame the effects for the extra minute…

  6. @leilabattison @JamieBGall Agreed, there should definitely be more of this. I have loads of video editing to do right now, but once that’s over…

  7. @JamieBGall @leilabattison I am rapidly coming to the conclusion that I am not the first person to have had this idea. :)

  8. @leilabattison Thanks! Let me know if you have any other ideas which need scooping! ;) (Seriously tho: good video demo ideas, let me know…)

  9. Videos! About science! See the first of my mini-series as Lab, Camera, Action! on the Oxford Physics website.

  10. @samuelpilgrim Thanks! :) I used Araldite and a filter adapter ring thing: full instructions here

  11. This is enjoyably provocative…and the logic doesn’t just apply to space exploration. How much is an astronaut’s life worth?

    Saturday 28th January 2012 12:37 GMT

  12. Another article about BBC science from Leila Battison following on from yesterday’s by Martin Robbins.

    Friday 27th January 2012 16:44 GMT

  13. Science on the telly: Martin Robbins is a very angry man. But perhaps we should be very angry?

  14. @CameronNeylon @imrankhan Any reason why post-publication peer review can’t be anonymous?

  15. Stargazing Oxford: incredible. Over 1,100 visitors, hundreds of spectrometers made, and then some impromptu telescope fun afterwards. Now: bed.

    Sunday 22nd January 2012 00:03 GMT

  16. I know you’re all already en route to the science-tastic Stargazing Oxford, 14:00–22:00 today in the Physics Department.

    Saturday 21st January 2012 11:35 GMT

  17. Oxford people: I need cereal boxes! Get them to me before Saturday, or bring them to Stargazing Oxford. Please!

  18. Finally getting round to naming my soon-to-be-made series of short science videos: what do people think of Lab, Camera, Action!…?

    Wednesday 18th January 2012 10:11 GMT

  19. Oxford astrophysicist found dead: tabloids in circling vultures shocker.

    Friday 13th January 2012 10:43 GMT

  20. What a depressing media landscape in which this even needs to be asked.
