Royal Academy of Engineering
We're harnessing the power of engineering to build a sustainable society and an inclusive economy that works for everyone.
Agriculture is facing the dual challenge of meeting food demands whilst also achieving environmental targets. Our upcoming #TransformingOurFuture conference looks at the science and innovation aiming to transform the sector. Register now to join online: royalsociety.org/science-events…
Born #OnThisDay in 1929 was Peter Higgs FRS. Higgs was a theoretical physicist best known for his work on the Higgs Boson, a key part of the Standard Model of particle physics and the subject of one of the great searches of modern physics. bit.ly/3UZNFgP

Professor Francis Nimmo FRS is elected a Fellow of the Royal Society. His interests are the structures and evolution of solid planets and moons, including showing how bodies such as Pluto or Enceladus could have 'shifted on their axis'. #RSFellows royalsociety.org/people/francis…
Professor Graham Moore FRS is elected a Fellow of the Royal Society. He is a wheat geneticist who proposed & developed the concept of Synteny, showing how it could be used to study the cereal genome, and characterise genes for desirable traits. #RSFellows royalsociety.org/people/graham-…
Professor Patricia Monaghan FRS is elected a Fellow of the Royal Society. She is an evolutionary ecologist whose research focuses on the ecology, life histories and rates of ageing of vertebrates. #RSFellows royalsociety.org/people/patrici…
Professor Stephen McGrath FRS is elected a Fellow of the Royal Society. He pioneered research that has advanced understanding of the bioavailability of trace elements and their impacts in agriculture, the environment, food safety & human health. #RSFellows royalsociety.org/people/stephen…
How many alien civilisations could exist in the Milky Way? In 1961 Frank Drake (born #OnThisDay in 1930) estimated this with the Drake equation thought experiment, using factors like the rate of star formation and the fraction of likely habitable planets: bit.ly/2SC1CVO
Professor Tamsin Mather FRS is elected a Fellow of the Royal Society. Her research centres on volcanoes and is motivated by understanding them as hazards, resources and agents of local to planetary-scale environmental change or maintenance. #RSFellows royalsociety.org/people/tamsin-…
