@helenlewis hi Helen, my take on Prince Andrew FRS here:http://www.guardian.co.uk/science/political-science/2013/may/05/prince-andrew-royal-society-row …
@Jonathan__Leake @jameswilsdon @helenlewis @RogerPielkeJr There's plenty wrong with the RS, but, you know, the clue is in the name.

Has anyone noticed that Phillip, Charles, Anne, William & the Duke of Kent are already fellows of the RS? Talk about a storm in a teacup...
-
If the Royal Society is now embarrassed about being Royal, surely the only reasonable thing to do is to abolish it?

@anomalyuk@jameswilsdon@helenlewis@RogerPielkeJr It's a great organisation. That's why it's odd to make this slip up, esp over the voting -
@Jonathan__Leake@jameswilsdon I hear that the Council of the Institute of Physics screens candidates for office to see if "suitable". -
@aDissentient@jameswilsdon what does 'suitable' mean? a degree in physics wd be reasonable expectation. political interests - not -
@Jonathan__Leake@jameswilsdon One assumes that candidates for Council are drawn from membership, so physics qualifications not an issue.
