It was a triumph of international collaboration - a laboratory for hundreds of astronauts - but was the 120 billion dollar investment worth it?

Presenter ⁦Clare Graham⁩ in conversation with Science Correspondent ⁦Pallab Ghosh⁩

Fascinating. 🎧 bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/w3…

After years of delay, Boeing Space says #Starliner and its Atlas rocket are both 'healthy for launch'. There's a lot on the line for Boeing. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

Alice Kay Aberystwyth University Pallab Ghosh I say this with a strong interest by the way, as I'm one of said people highly allergic to the chickpeas and green peas, etc. being added.
It could make buying (albeit theoretically healthier) shop-made sarnies in the future even more of a game of Russian roulette than it is now!

Pallab Ghosh I watched the news report regarding White Bread .An excellent idea but many people who have diseases of the digestive system can’t actually process many of the things that will be added to White bread and is often the only bread suitable to eat.

Pallab Ghosh Interesting. On one hand, it could be a good way to boost fibre and natural micronutritional levels of white loaves. On the other, manufacturers might use it to tempt people away from wholemeal, brown and other wholegrain loaves with 'healthier white' claims.

I'm all for making white bread more nutritious but chickpeas and pea protein are common allergens, so many people won't be able to take advantage of these health benefits. And these added ingredients will need to be very clearly labelled. Aberystwyth University

🍞 The best thing since sliced bread?

BBC Science Editor ⁦Pallab Ghosh⁩
has been finding out more about how researchers @ABerUni @IBERS @AberDLS are looking at making white bread more nutritional. bbc.com/news/articles/…

Dr Catherine has spoken to Pallab Ghosh about IBERS - Aber Aberystwyth University DLS/AGB Innovate UK research to create healthier white bread.

Here’s a plan to make sliced white loaves to be as nutritious as wholemeal. The researchers are adding small amounts of other grains to the flour mix with the aim of keeping the fluffy white taste and texture of white bread the same. bbc.com/news/articles/…

I love the attitude of ⁦Astronomer Royal for Scotland | Catherine Heymans⁩ of the new confusing result from the brightest ever cosmic blast: 'The Universe is an amazing, wonderful and surprising place, and I love the way that it throws these conundrums at us!” bbc.co.uk/news/science-e…

How the mystery of the brightest space explosion of all time was answered and then became even more intriguing. On BBC Sounds bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/p0…

Two years ago astronomers were surprised by a cosmic explosion they named the Brightest Of All Time B.O.A.T. Now they have found out what triggered it - but the mystery has only deepened! bbc.co.uk/news/science-e…

Without new research the “British pint is going to “die off” according to Danielle Whelan who is a technical brewer.

'We are just going to be importing beer and we won't have the culture that goes with it anymore.'

Scientists @UniKentand British Hop Association trying to save the great British pint. The Defra UK led scheme will identify genes that will make the hop plant more resilient to climate change and improve its flavour. Cheers! bbc.com/news/science-e…

Thanks Zoe that’s such a nice thing to say but I have a lot of help from my editor Greg Brosnan with each and every article.

Interesting piece on the 10 o'clock news from Pallab Ghosh about Ghosh Particles. He is too modest to mention that they are named after him.

The search is on @cern for mysterious 'ghostly' particles that rarely interact with our world. But every now and again, they pop into our existance.

Astronomers had always suspected there was a neutron star in the heart of the most spectacular supernova of recent times, SN 1987A. Now they have strong if not overwhelming evidence - maybe not the smoking gun, but definitely the smoke from the gun. bbc.co.uk/news/science-e…
