Great to see these fantastic new projects for monitoring the climate through Earth Observation 🌍

They include four projects led by RAL Space and one supported by UK Astronomy Technology Centre.

A huge thanks to everyone who hosted Mark Thomson, Executive Chair for Science and Technology Facilities Council in Ottawa last week! A fantastic range of conversations from supporting research infrastructure to nurturing future talent. Lots of great ideas for future 🇬🇧🇨🇦 collaboration 😀

The Cockcroft Institute and #ASTeC welcomed Dr Lia Merminga, the director of Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory (FNAL) Fermilab, to STFC Daresbury.

#OnThisDay in 1957, CERN's 1st accelerator, the 600 MeV Synchrocyclotron, was switched on for the 1st time!🎉
Used for CERN's early particle & nuclear physics experiments, it was 15.7m in circumference - about 1700x smaller than the #LargeHadronCollider .

On behalf of the UK STFC supports many astronomers in their work with the ESO telescopes at Paranal in Chile. But it takes a lot more than world leading telescopes to run an observatory 2635 metres above sea level in the Atacama Desert.

Decades of searching for life on Mars has turned up... well, not much. But what if we're looking for the wrong signs?

In our latest Medium article, we meet scientists in Boulby Laboratory who are refining how we hunt for traces of extraterrestrial life 👽
