Twitterverse

Hello Twitterverse! We r now LIVE tweeting from the International Space Station -- the 1st live tweet from Space! :) More soon, send your ?


Well, this is the very first live tweets from Space posted by flight engineer TJ Creamer Sunday 22nd of January at 12.13 AM... and I am following him, yep. Me and 25,420 followers by the time I am writing this post. I am not a fan of Twitter, in fact I am technically following only two people, one of my best friend (he forced me) and this astronaut.

It is not the first time that it has been sent a message from Space, but till now astronauts had to send messages to a center control and from there Nasa's staff resend them to astronaut's account. Now is between me and him (ok, ok and the other thousands) and I am going to forgive him even if he writes on what is having for breakfast. How cool is having your weetabix floating while you are watching Jupiter! Probably not even close but I will definitively forgive him.

For those who want to know more about floating cereals, this chap is in Twitter as Astro_TJ

Cape Farewall at Southbank

Back to business after a rather long period of Christmas.

Cape Farewell's SHIFT festival will take place the 29th and 30th January at Southbank Centre. Two evenings of comedy and music and, of course, climate change with Cape Farewell, an organization which promotes a cultural response to climate change.

Artist such us Kate T Tunstall- she will be performing at the festival or Jarvis Cocker (Pulp's singer) have been some of the privileged to join one of its annual and mighty expedition to the Arctic. Apart form scientists, all kind of artists are welcome to make a project which has to link art and climate change. However, I know for sure you need to have a very damn good idea to be part of the expedition...or being Madonna. I attended one evening last year entirely dedicated to the expedition from the previous one at Dana Centre. It was very interesting, although it was equally interesting for me to discover The Science Museum's Dana Centre. It is not very well known but I assured you that it shows a rather amazing programme over the year on contemporary scene in London. It will deserve a post quite soon.
Enjoy the festival, hopefully by then we will no have an Arctic weather like these days.
