Worth noting that this expedition was backed and funded by @royalsociety who still proudly announce it on their history page as "Advancements and Adventure". royalsociety.org/about-us/hi…. Solidarity to those at @britishmuseum today talking about this.

“The conflation of scientific neutrality into political neutrality of the scientist as a citizen is actually a trick by mainstream liberal ideology that we’re helping people break with. And those who break, join us." Will you? scienceforthepeople.org slate.com/technology/2018/08…

This is such a great story; it showcases human drama, institutional rivalries and the complexity at the interface of statistical mechanics, physical chemistry and computer simulation. And the whole drama came down to a bug in the code. physicstoday.scitation.org/d…

The @sciencemuseum needs to realise that the fossils belong in the @NHM_London. Oil companies are not modern businesses but relics of the past that one way or another will not be part of the future. #makethefuture x.com/ChrisGPackham/status/1…

You cannot buy honest science with dishonest money . Today I've joined leading scientists in calling out @sciencemuseum over ties to three oil companies. It’s time to #makethefutur and ditch big oil ! Via @Cult_Unstained behindthelogos.org/scientist…

#fossilfuel sponsorship is akin to tobacco sponsorship; it seriously undermines @sciencemuseum ‘s mission to promote sci & medical knowledge. We're joining leading scientists to support this complaint & assoc website @Cult_unstained bit.ly/2KB6UMo theguardian.com/business/201…

We're surprised @sciencemuseum director Ian Blatchford has dismissed the validity of our complaint already. Have you SEEN our list of signatories Ian? We are deadly serious about this. #makethefuture #science #climate #sciencemuseum #fossilfreeculture

Proud to be a signitory. We need to #makethefuture liveable not allow it to be stolen from us by #fossilfuel companies that promote climate change/science denial for profit. It's not good enough that the @sciencemuseum's content can be influenced by financial interests. x.com/ProgSci/status/1014815…

We join @Cult_Unstained complaint to @sciencemuseum that ties to oil giants like @BP_PLC, @Shell & @equinor fail to take into account #climatechange, breaching their ethics policy and damaging the brand amongst scientists and young people behindthelogos.org/scientist… #makethefuture
