Last night, @JennyRohn, @Stephen_Curry, @ShaneMcC and I went back to where it all began (the Price Albert pub behind Euston Station) to dissolve @ScienceIsVital. So: itʼs official. Unless someone comes forward to take it over in the next month or so, thatʼs it.

New survey from @Scientists4EU, to find out how membership of the EU Customs Union affects science. Do you import scientific supplies from the EU or beyond? Check this out! Please RT nitter.gq/Scientists4EU/status/9…
Do you order scientific/medical supplies from within Customs Union? Or export within CU? How would leaving affect you? (paperwork, bureaucracy, cost, risk) Esp for hazardous, bio or time-sensitive supplies? We need you testimonials 👇👇👇 and pls share. scientistsforeu.uk/customs_u…
