@drbecky_s: Astrophysics research in the UK is at risk due to funding cuts of at least 30% that will hit early career research positions the hardest. I headed to Westminster with my fellow physicists to chat to MPs about stopping the cuts. I’ll let Prof. Brian Cox explain why funding fundamental physics research is so important #physics #research #sciencefunding

The current situation with physics in the uk really scares me, I’m going to uni in September to do it because it’s my ultimate passion but this really concerns me! Physics underlies so much, medicine, computing, defence, and so many more things which are fundamental. We can’t afford to put it at risk

If this subject matters to you. Do not worry about funding otherwise you got to explore why politics and finance matters first.

Resources like TikTok and channels like this one are crucial to garner interest amongst young people for STEM subjects and career paths. The Government needs to support this!

this Is disappointing because I just discovered there is a reasonably new GCSE in astronomy! so there's a new basic qualification but only limited academic progression if they are cutting research positions!

I wish we didn’t waste money on so many other things. This is a tiny amount compared to what we spend on so many other things.

It all matters, and funding should not be cut, also the public should be made more aware of what science does for them, because people are ignorant to science.

I HIGHLY suggest just leaning into AI at your Westminster (MP Copenhagen) Conference to figure out how to optimize its integration into peer reviewing old research & new data highlighting where there is clear violations of the reigning paradigm

LITERALLY everything you enjoy in modern life, from fridges, to toilets, to internet, wifi, gps, military defense, cars, air travel, ocean travel. All of it is thanks to physics and the people who study it. How have we, as a species, gotten so dumb that we dont think this is necessary anymore?!

A small minded govt who cannot see beyond what’s in front of them with no representation or advise from sciences except for tech and AI will not see the need for research

why not just make a live, opensource, reseach channel? crowd fund it. and provide immediate live transparent feedback of truth. ... or you could keep relying on government.
