#liysf — Public Fediverse posts

A great pleasure to return to the London International Youth Science Forum under the leadership of Richard Myhill.

Some 500 high school students from 90 countries, with a two week programme of lectures, trips, debates, & social events.

They gave my #JWST talk a very kind reception & had many good questions. Perhaps the loudest & longest applause came though when I said “I don’t trust the tech / AI billionaires like Musk & Altman one iota.”

There’s hope for us yet.

Start of a ten-day trip to the UK, my first in a year.

Flew over central London & this shot of South Kensington shows two of my destinations at top left.

The Royal Albert Hall for a Prom tomorrow, followed on Saturday by a #JWST lecture at the London International Youth Science Forum #LIYSF, a big student summer school.

The latter is at the Royal Geographical Society to the right of the RAH, north of the Science Museum.

Then to Exeter for a conference & reunion of my old astro group ✨🔭
