@sellathechemist@mastodon.social Bravo! Thank you for doing the right thing. RS's inaction on this is indefensible.

@sellathechemist@mastodon.social I don't think congratulations is quite the right word - but thankyou for the courage to do this and to do it so publicly.

@sellathechemist@mastodon.social Well done. I hope it’s not over the top to say this is a truer memorial to the spirit of Faraday than the medal itself.

@sellathechemist@mastodon.social Great respect to you for ‘doing the right thing’. Time now for the RS to grow a spine and do the right thing. I continue to wonder what Musk’s ‘technological innovations’ are. In particular, whether genuinely his, or simply those of his employees.

@sellathechemist@mastodon.social well, as the saying goes “The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.” You are a good man, you have done something significant, and I wholeheartedly applaud your stance.

@sellathechemist@mastodon.social Thank you for doing this 🩷 I will remember you for what you did not only for sending back the award but also for what you do as a scientist 🩷

@sellathechemist@mastodon.social I have another problem… why do they still have musk as a member? I think we all understand that he isn’t a scientist even in the abstract sense. Is he there because he’s just a privileged white man with some British blood in him? Because there comes a point when we need to say no to these people. (I am not ignorant I know he still is a billionaire who likes to throw his money around to make other’s lives miserable) still….

@sellathechemist@mastodon.social Andrea, much admiration for your action (and to the others that have resigned from the RS in the wake of Muskgate). I can only hope that the RS reconsiders its position given the full-throated assault on science occasioned by a member's action - they really are misreading the public opinion on this one.

@sellathechemist@mastodon.social Well done, Andrea. Lovely to meet you again at Cheltenham Science Festival but I now learn that you had an important issue on your mind. Glad that the festival provided the opportunity for you to consult with others.

@sellathechemist@mastodon.social Adding my voice to those expressing respect ... I wish actions like this were unnecessary, but the Royal Society has absolutely failed to live up to its obligations. Kudos.
