Whoever you vote for, do vote if you can. Democracy is amazing and, believe it or not, not many planets have it. Politicians are your servants, and today's the day you can give them a pat on the back. From either your hand or a cow, depending on whether they're any good. Enjoy!

We mourn the passing of Apollo 11 astronaut Michael Collins, who piloted humanity’s first voyage to the surface of another world. An advocate for exploration, @AstroMCollins inspired generations and his legacy propels us further into the cosmos: go.nasa.gov/3vqO6SR

For a Christmas treat, our talented colleague Becca recreated the Blythe House object store (where many of our objects and those of @V_and_A and @britishmuseum are stored) in Gingerbread form!

American chemist Alice Ball was born #OnThisDay in 1892. She pioneered the only working treatment for leprosy, known as the ‘Ball Method’, until the invention of antibiotics. She sadly died aged 24 and only recently received credit for her discovery.

Watch an historic moment for human spaceflight today - the first crewed commercial launch aboard @SpaceX Crew Dragon. Lift off 21:33 (BST).
Together with @SpaceX, we will return human spaceflight to American soil after nearly a decade. Tomorrow is not only a big day for our teams – it’s a big day for our country.

You might not be able to explore @sciencemuseum in person right now (😢), BUT! Why not try our 'virtual tour' on Google Maps instead? bit.ly/SCMTour
Even better, try to spot objects using our object hunt: explorer resource! bit.ly/2Wzhars 🔎🕵️

To show our support and pay tribute to the incredible work of the @NHS and healthcare professionals, we're turning our logos blue for the next two months. It's one small way of saying thank you.
You can do the same using the NHS colour code 005EB8. #makeitblue
