If you’re looking for an animated apocalyptic comedy (and who isn’t?!), ‘Carol & the End of the World’ is absolutely superb. Currently available on Netflix. 1/2
The same Thomas Gold who developed the steady-state hypothesis for the universe, and also argued that crude oil was produced geologically and so is effectively limitless. Wild!
I've been helping to advise on the development of the exhibit over the past 18 months, and it's such a thrill to see it all come alive.
And you can touch a meteorite older than the Earth itself! The exhibition is packed with wonderful interactive elements and real space hardware. And you can even smell what different places in space smell like! (my PhD student Marina Barcenilla created those scents for the exhibition)

Really looking forward to tucking into this by Sadiah Qureshi - looks fascinating!

Not technically published in paperback until Thursday but already out on the shelves of @Waterstones. ‘Being Human’ now more pocket-sized & way less likely to break your nose than hardback if you fall asleep reading in bed... geni.us/BeingHumanPB @TheBodleyHead @VintageBooks
What a beaut! @VintageBooks have created such an elegant cover for the paperback version of BEING HUMAN. I love it! Out next Thursday! geni.us/BeingHumanPB @TheBodleyHead
This beautiful book by Sophie Yeo is published ON THUR. Do preorder a copy of it - it really is a massive help for authors!
A most excellent new book from @tomchivers.bsky.social Out next week!
And The Book is stunningly illustrated, with a wonderful steampunk / New Weird aesthetic running all through it
Awkward photo through train window, but loving the huge @ESA_ExoMars mission to Mars display on Stevenage car park...
