Try not to spam the same link to multiple feddit.uk communities.
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.

Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.

Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.

If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.

Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.

Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.

This is the best summary I could come up with:


Diamond Light Source, in Harwell, Oxfordshire, has studied advanced treatments of HIV, cancer and the Covid-19 vaccine.

The light is directed via beamlines, into laboratories where research takes place in virtually all fields of science from health to energy.

Secretary of State for Science, Innovation and Technology Michelle Donelan visited Diamond, based at the Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC) Rutherford Appleton Laboratory, to announce the multi-million-pound funding provided through UKRI (STFC), and the Wellcome Trust.

"There's nothing wrong with the present synchrotron," said Adrian Mancuso, director of physical sciences at Diamond Light.

"We're doing fantastic science with it every day - but the opportunity to upgrade to a fourth generation synchrotron is enormous.

Prof Mark Thomson, STFC executive, said the investment would keep the "world-leading facility right at the edge of science for the next decade or more".
