CDU-Mitglied und 'Sicherheitsexperte' Professor Dr. Neumann diagnostiziert aus der Ferne schwere Fehler im Umgang mit mutmaßlichem CSD-Attentäter
In einem heute Abend im DLF geführten Interview kommt Neumann, aus der Londoner Ferne, zu dem Ergebnis, der mutmaßliche CSD-Attentäter hätte keine Bewährungsstrafe erhalten dürfen, sondern lieber eine lange Haftstrafe.
Es sei nötig, anders und vor allem viel härter mit diesen 'gefährlichen Menschen' umzugehen, die deutsche Justiz und Politik sei zu milde.
Der Professor aus der Londoner Ferne tut gerade so, als würden Bewährungsstrafen wie Bonbons verteilt, dabei geht diesen eine intensive Prüfung der Sozialprognose voraus. Jeder Prognose wohnt dabei eine Unsicherheit inne, so entsetzlich dann die Folgen auch sind, wenn sich geirrt wird.
Jetzt hat der mutmaßliche Täter vermutlich die härteste Strafe erhalten, das dürfte ganz in Neumanns Sinne sein, vermutlich auch der Grünen! Todesschüsse durch die Polizei!

UNAM reafirma cooperación global desde su sede en Reino Unido
Presidió, vía remota, la celebración por los 10 años del Centro de Estudios Mexicanos en el Reino Unido, marco para la realización del seminario UNAM-Europa, Transición energética: Perspectivas Glocales.
Por Martín García | ReporteroLeonardo Lomelí Vanegas, rector de la Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México (UNAM), afirmó que los procesos de internacionalización en la educación superior no diluyen las identidades ni relativizan el sentido de pertenencia; por el contrario, permiten afirmar lo que somos desde la pluralidad, compartirlo con apertura y aprender de otras tradiciones.
Este, agregó, ha sido el principal propósito del Centro de Estudios Mexicanos (CEM) de la UNAM en el King’s College London, que hoy celebró su décimo aniversario y es una expresión concreta del espíritu universitario, el cual busca siempre que la cooperación internacional sea valorada como vía para enriquecer la profesionalización, la investigación especializada y la preservación de nuestras raíces.
Vía remota, el rector Lomelí Vanegas celebró el trabajo con el King’s College London -una de las instituciones académicas más prestigiosas de Europa y del mundo- y destacó la labor del CEM de la UNAM para impulsar el intercambio académico, científico y cultural con instituciones británicas.
Actualmente, la UNAM mantiene 20 convenios vigentes con 14 instituciones de educación superior del Reino Unido; además, entre 2015 y 2025 se registraron casi 400 estudiantes de licenciatura enviados a instituciones británicas, y poco más de 160 jóvenes británicos fueron atendidos por nuestras entidades en ese mismo periodo. “Más allá de las cifras, esta red de alianzas ha derivado en un entramado dinámico de vinculación sostenida”, subrayó el rector.
Asimismo, el rector Leonardo Lomelí expuso que la Universidad Nacional y el Reino Unido han generado miles de publicaciones conjuntas en campos como astronomía, astrofísica, física de partículas, ciencias ambientales, biología molecular, geociencias, medicina, derechos humanos e innovación, que dan cuenta de la solidez de los nexos académicos y del potencial para seguir diseñando proyectos de alto impacto.
Además, desafíos como el cambio climático, la crisis ecosocial, la urgencia de transiciones energéticas sostenibles, el avance de tendencias autocráticas y la inestabilidad geopolítica, entre otras, exigen investigación interdisciplinaria y una convergencia de perspectivas como las que se han impulsado en el CEM de la UNAM en Reino Unido.
“Como universidad pública, nacional y autónoma, la UNAM tiene el privilegio y la responsabilidad de servir a México y a la humanidad, y el Centro de Estudios Mexicanos en el Reino Unido es una muestra tangible de cómo se cumple ese objetivo. Los valores que compartimos con nuestras contrapartes británicas —tales como la excelencia, el interculturalismo, el compromiso con la justicia social, y la convicción de que la educación transforma vidas y sociedades— adquieren una vigencia renovada”, dijo el rector.
En tanto, la directora de Global Engagement en King’s College London, Tania Lima, expresó que ha sido un honor ser anfitriones del CEM de la UNAM en Reino Unido y destacó la importancia de trabajar con sus pares, con otras universidades en temas de educación, investigación y en movilidad académica y de estudiantes. –sn–

Exploring Cutting-Edge Technology at New Scientist Live
A cosmic ray detector.
A heart scanner.
And a handheld ultrasound probe that connects to a smartphone.
These were some of the fantastic hands on technology demonstrations that you could see and try out for yourself at this years New Scientist Live. Alongside this were many other interactive exhibits and really interesting and engaging people to speak to. And, as ever, there was also an outstanding program of talks and lectures by world leading scientists and speakers.
Dark Matter
First of all, lets talk dark matter. We don’t know if it exists. However, we infer its presence from many things. One example is the orbital speed of stars within galaxies. These starts are moving faster than they should be for the matter that we see present. This implies there should be something that we can’t see that is responsible for the extra gravity holding those stars in place – dark matter.
A cosmic ray (in green) detected at NS Live by the team on the Lux-Zeplin standThe Lux-Zeplin dark matter experiment is designed to look for dark matter. However, it is incredibly sensitive and needs to be shielded from all the cosmic rays that are constantly bombarding our planet and even moving through you and I right now. To illustrate their frequency, they set up a cosmic ray detector at the show. It was absolutely fascinating and was easily one of my favourite things to see this year.
Medical Technology
Moving along to medical technology, the Butterfly Network ultrasound probe is an amazing device. It replaces a huge amount of kit. This kit is typically the size of a couple of suitcases and is wheeled around a hospital on a trolley. This new handheld probe plugs into a tablet or smartphone and runs via an app. Much simpler!
Kirsten Christensen-Jeffries and Antonios Pouliopoulos from the team at Kings College London Quiin Lab showed me how it worked. We used it to spot objects in pots of dark liquid as an analogue of doing an actual ultrasound. This experience was informative and great fun.
Using the Butterfly ultrasound probe to detect a flower!The potential applications for something as mobile as this are clearly huge. The technology is so portable and can be used pretty much anywhere. This includes developing countries or remote villages where this kind of technology would typically not be available.
Moving around the corner I came across the team from Medical Mavericks. They used a small laptop connected to us by 3 stick on disposable sensors. The setup was used to take our heart rate. Again, such impressive tech in a small package using everyday available hardware is sure to be useful in areas where you can’t take huge diagnostic machines. A big shout out to the team who were super enthusiastic and great to talk to as well.
Thankfully my heartrate appeared ok on the day!
Engaging Talks Schedule
One of the highlights for me every year is the talks schedule. There were so many to go to, and as ever, I missed some due to the clashes. However, this year I paid an extra £10 to allow me to see the recordings of the ones I missed – a great facility!
If I had to pick out my two favourite talks, my first would be Tim Gregory‘s session on Nuclear. Tim discussed both previous, current and potential future use of nuclear to power space missions. Tim is a very engaging speaker who is clearly passionate and excited about what he does. That rubs off on the audience and makes his talks so easy to watch and listen to.
Tim Gregory kicking off the Saturday afternoon session with his talk on nuclear powerMy other pick would be the final talk of the first day on the Our Planet stage. Dr Gillian Forrester showed how the thermal imaging of facial blood flow can reveal whether humans (and other animals) are stressed or not. I found this absolutely fascinating as this is a phenomenon that is easily measured using simple infrared (IR) cameras that are available today. The research itself was compelling enough, but then Dr Forrester did a live demo with two volunteers from the audience. This really reinforced how usable this method could be for detecting stress using physiologically measurable markers.
Own your own piece of the Universe!
Finally, it wouldn’t be a trip to New Scientist Live if I didn’t visit Martin on the MSG Meteorites stand. This year my haul (as my daughters would refer to it) included a large unclassified meteorite found in North West Africa. It’s fantastic to hold and look at and wonder what secrets it might one day reveal. I also picked up a nice piece of Tektite, which is a natural glass formed from the heat and debris of a meteorite impact. Martin is extremely knowledgeable and passionate about his subject and his stall is packed with fascinating artefacts.
My haul… A lovely piece of Tektite and and a large NWA meteoriteThere is so much more to write and congratulations if you’ve got this far. If you’ve never been, I highly recommend it. This was our third year and every year it’s better and better. You’re in a space with thousands of other people who are curious and interested in the world around them. You listen to and talk to world-leading experts in their fields and you experiment with cutting edge technology. What could be more fun?

Is ADHD on the rise? No – but that answer doesn't tell the whole story.
Despite reports of a recent surge in ADHD, a global analysis has found no reliable evidence of an increase in the number of children diagnosed with the condition since 2020.
The true picture remains murky. “Most of the research is too biased to draw conclusions from.”

Der Herr der Antihelden – Interview mit dem Bassbariton Christopher Purves
Lynn Sophie GuldinTerrorzwerge und Kratzbürsten: der britische Bassbariton Christopher Purves ist auf bissige Persönlichkeiten spezialisiert. Auch sonst versteht er sich – trotz Auftritte an großen Opernhäusern und häufigen Zusammenarbeiten mit den gefragtesten Regisseuren dieser Zeit – nicht unbedingt als konformistisches Wesen.

Here's a good postcard for today - its of the now-gone Chelsea Polytechnic. The science parts of the Poly were incorporated into King's College London in the 1980s
I love the insights cards like this give to what university life was like. Note particularly the absence of women students (unlike some other classes from the same series of cards), and smart dress code
