@pubsci.bsky.social🧪 Did you know the No.1 Science podcast on Mixcloud is 100% independent, packed with news, interviews, discussion and humour, and plays some really good music?
This month's show includes an interview with
@snezanalawrence.bsky.social about the growing use of AI in maths
@pubsci.bsky.social🧪 Did you know Charles Darwin's "Origin" was only an extract from an unfinished work on species selection? Or that he never completed the "greater work" because orchids and insectivorous plants were just too distracting?

@pubsci.bsky.socialPubSci is tomorrow!
@pubsci.bsky.socialEpisode 10 of The Science Show is available on Mixcloud — and is already the #1 science podcast on the platform!
It's your monthly mix of science news, interviews and discussion, weird wanderings through the history and culture of science, and some excellent tunes too.
@pubsci.bsky.socialWhat has engineering ever done for us...? More than most of us realise!
Scientific tour guide Laurence Scales takes us on a whistle-stop tour through 3,000 years of engineering history at next week's Science in the Pub.
Don't miss out!

@pubsci.bsky.socialMany thanks to Dr Parry Hashemi from Imperial College for a fascinating talk.
PubSci is taking a break in August but will be back on 16th September with a talk on 2,000 years of engineering history by the wonderful Laurence Scales of www.laurenceswalks.co.uk

@pubsci.bsky.socialVery sad to hear Welsh vocal powerhouse, Bonnie, Tyler has died. We nearly put her 80s power ballad "Total Eclipse of the Heart" in the latest Science Show episode, which is a bit of an eclipse special (qv) 🧪 In the end, The Beatles and Carly Simon won the day 🌙 Will think of her on 12th August 🌑
@pubsci.bsky.socialWonderfully powerful, beautifully simple citizen science.
@pubsci.bsky.socialJuly's episode of The Science Show 🧪 broadcast on Monday and is now available to stream on Mixcloud.
In this show, we look into the science news, interview ecologist Rebecca Nesbit, recommend things to do this summer, and take a deep dive into eclipses.
Enjoy!
@pubsci.bsky.socialPubSci returns to the Old King's Head post-World Cup. Don't miss Dr Parastoo Hashemi on The Sound of Serotonin, Wednesday 22nd July.
As usual it's pay-what-you-can (bring cash or contribute when booking) because PubSci keeps live science real — and accessible.

@pubsci.bsky.socialThe_Science_Show is the highest rated science podcast you've never heard of — and I'd like to fix that!

After its radio broadcast on the first Monday of the month, episodes become a chart-topping podcast featuring science news, discussion, humour and *great* music. www.mixcloud.com/The_Science_...
@sheencr.bsky.socialReposted by @pubsci.bsky.socialReally important editorial summarising the multiple threats to science, funding and even development of new therapies by the Trump administration. Still time to act as public comments on the multitude of draconian changes suggested are open. If this bill passes US science will be so damaged
@pubsci.bsky.socialThey'll be welcome too. The discussion needs to involve all interested parties.
@pubsci.bsky.socialAt June's event we take a look at the science behind official drugs policy, consider the real-world harms of different recreational drugs, and ask why the law isn't always scientifically-based... and what risks that may carry.

@astroroyalscot.bsky.socialReposted by @pubsci.bsky.social"Someone, somewhere, has taken the decision to defund astrophysics research in the UK, but no-one seems quite sure who that was, or why."
The latest on the impact of the catastrophic funding cuts to UK astrophysics, by me, in @natastron.nature.com 👩🔬🧪🔭
