Legacy of Vera Rubin Shines in a Turbulent Scientific Era

In 2025, the long-awaited Vera C. Rubin Observatory is preparing to launch its full operations, promising to transform our understanding of the cosmos. Equipped with the world’s most powerful digital camera, the telescope is expected to survey the entire southern sky every few nights, unlocking secrets about dark matter, galaxy formation , and more. Named after astronomer Vera Rubin , whose pioneering work provided evidence for the existence of dark matter, the observatory represents not just scientific progress but also long-overdue recognition of women's contributions to astronomy. Rubin, for decades, faced skepticism and marginalization in a male-dominated field. However, the launch of this scientific marvel comes at a time when political interference in science and funding instability threaten the very foundation of open, evidence-based research. As Rubin’s legacy inspires a new generation of astrophysicists, the need to protect science from ideological and political pres...

How Nuclear Power Works, Harms the Climate – and Why the UK Is Betting £18 Billion on It

🌍 How Nuclear Power Works – and Its Climate Drawbacks Why is the UK investing billions more in it? ⚛️ 1. What is Nuclear Power and How It Works Nuclear power generates electricity through fission : splitting uranium atoms to create heat, which produces steam and drives turbines. Pros: Baseload, 24/7 low-carbon power (~12 g CO₂/kWh). Cons: Highly radioactive waste and harmful uranium mining. 📉 2. Climate Impact Nuclear emits only ~12 g CO₂e/kWh – far less than coal (~820 g) or gas (~490 g). It has helped avoid ~72 billion tonnes of CO₂ since 1970. Requires far less land than solar/wind power. But waste stays radioactive for thousands of years. 🇬🇧 3. Why the UK Is Investing More On June 10, 2025 , the UK government announced: £14.2 billion to complete Sizewell C , total public funding: £17.8 billion. Will provide 3.2 GW to power 6 million homes. 10,000 construction jobs and 1,500 apprenticeships. £2.5 billion into small...
