- I’ve been a BBC contributor for years, and I’ve just been told that now for the radio, “Dr” titles are only being used to introduce medical doctors. Why? Why is my, or any of my colleagues’ PhDs, not worth the recognition? As a woman in science, this concerns me. Thoughts? @rosatkins.bsky.social
- So excited to see Fifth Star Labs' Sky Guide app featured in this showcase for Liquid Glass 😍 it's controversial, I know, but honestly - liquid glass has really enhanced our UI. Chris, one co-founder, appears about 55 mins in - and I get a mention around 1hr 16mins 😇 www.youtube.com/live/hyFIakd...
- Looks like it might be aurora time! I wrote an article all about how to capture on your smartphone content-staging.fifthstarlabs.io/featuredItem...
- Hi all! I'm after images of Comet C/2025 A6 Lemmon to showcase in Fifth Star Labs Sky Guide app! I'm hoping to make a gallery - if you have pics or videos to share, hit me up! All credited of course, and all equipment desired, from phones to professional set ups www.forbes.com/sites/jamiec...
- An excellent showing from the Perseids! Out for 70 minutes, counted 17 meteors, and about 7 of them were amazing fireballs - one streaked across a quarter of the sky! I predicted one every 5-10 mins, so pretty good showing 😊
- It’s the peak of the Perseids tonight! I’m heading out in about half an hour with my Dad. Loungers ready, I’ve got my oodie and joggers. Hoping for some good ones, despite the moonlight!
- This news is AMAZING 😍 ... but I don't like the headline of the first female Astronomer Royal for the UK. @astroroyalscot.bsky.social Catherine Heymans has been the Astronomer Royal for Scotland for years, and the last time I checked, Scotland was part of the UK...
- A week ago, I headed down to the BBC London Studios for the first time to comment on an AI generated movie illustrating the imagined life of comet 3I/ATLAS. Some elements I think were fair, and others were definitely artistic flair! What do you think about AI in storytelling? (1/2)
