Anybody here know what the bicycle parking is like at Imperial College London, South Kensington campus? I have to attend a meeting afternoon through to late evening and wanted to take my full size bike in lieu of my Brompton (for reasons).

Boosts welcome. Thank you.

Tomber endormi tout d’un coup!

I finished #TheWarOfTheWorlds last night. A good story and written in a very familiar manner for my sensibilities. What struck me was how familiar the geography described was, i.e. the boroughs of #London, particularly of the west and south west, with which I was familiar when i was at #ImperialCollege, which incidentally was also where Wells went too (although it was not called that then).

... Ergebnis... ist das Wetter, das wir sehen", "#FriederikeOtto, eine #Klimawissenschaftlerin am #ImperialCollege London."

"Jede 0,1°C zusätzliche Erwärmung 👉wird eine zunehmende Anzahl von Schwellenwerten [#Kipppunkten] im #Klimasystem👈 überschreiten. Wir werden mehr und mehr "plötzliche" #Klimaauswirkungen sehen, die noch nie zuvor aufgetreten sind", sagte #Dessler."

Scientists from #imperialcollege show: An AI co-researcher can develop a hypothesis in just 2 days that would have otherwise taken years of research! 🚀 However, concerns about reproducibility and transparency remain. More in an upcoming report with #Stanford. #AI #Research

...result is the weather we see," " #FriederikeOtto, a climate scientist at #ImperialCollege London."

"Each 0.1°C of additional warming 👉will surpass an increasing number of thresholds in the climate system👈. 👉We will see more and more "sudden" climate impacts that have never happened before👈," #Dessler said.

Now #imperialcollege explaining why government proposals are not good enough to replace the 2.2 billion pound and access to all the global research consortia . Imperial college Recieved funding from #horizonEurope 280 times its own financial rewards. 50% of universities US papers & 80% of Brazil papers produced have a European partner. UKGov investment in R&D is only half of what Germany funds its R&D . “Going back to Horizon is essential for UK to remain at the cutting edge of research”

Okay, it CANNOT be a coincidence that #ExoclimesVI is the week before #LondonPride. I will be in the UK for Pride once again with my London friends from my #ImperialCollege days. LOC and SOC, great job!

Has the ULEZ in central London had a significant impact on pollution levels? #ImperialCollege research: https://doi.org/10.1088/1748-9326/ac30c1

Spoiler: not really. In which case how will #ULEZexpansion to the sparser outer boroughs help (apart from propping up #TfL's broken budget for services predominantly benefiting inner London)?

Prof Sandrine Heutz, Head of the Department of #MaterialsScience at #ImperialCollege , spoke about the intersection of #science and #art with artist Marianna Soukeras. This art was was made with Sandrine’s go-to molecule: #phthalocyanine 💙 Watch Sandrine’s inaugural lecture here! https://youtu.be/wuLmx1p7thE #SciComm

Woohoo! An epic evening at #ImperialCollege celebrating all things #nano. The #ChiralCrew explored how chiral objects can twist light and control electron spin. 🌀💜 #SciComm

Last night we had an awesome evening of #nanoscience at the #ImperialCollege lates. The #ChiralCrew explored how light interacts with chiral molecules and structures. 🌀🌈

The African Caribbean Society at #imperialcollege has their hackathon this weekend 🥳🧑🏽‍💻I’m excited to join them for a discussion tonight. See there programme https://www.icacs.co.uk/ac-hack.html

The #MaterialsScience students at #ImperialCollege are so inspiring to be around! Our #Nanomaterials lecture started at 09:00 and a bunch of them were there from 08:30 (!!). Such a good vibe (plasmon resonance?) in that room. 🙌💜 #WomenInSTEM
