Rejoining EU Horizon is only half the job done. Now please stop asking EU-area scientists for visas, leave to remain applications, NHS surcharges, ATAS clearances, etc. Its a bigger barrier to research progress and is a huge waste of everyone’s time.

Okay UK EngBio / SynBio researchers, you've all had a few hours off now since submitting your stressful 'Mission' proposals, so now it's time to reflect/vent on how good/bad the UK's national approach to this subject is. (ps. you'll need 30 mins for this) gov.uk/government/con…

“It would not be right to stand here and not acknowledge staff who have been fighting for not more than the bare minimum”. How can we thank you enough for this brave and moving oration at Edinburgh Graduation today. @ucuedinburgh @ucu @sssn_edi

This morning, the University informed us they would be sharing a version of the statement that omitted reference to these three asks. The message sent by the VC contains a substantial portion of material drafted by UCUE. 6/9

I can't believe the state of things. Edinburgh & other Scottish unis prefer to devalue their degrees & reputation, & damage student's futures before resolving pay disputes with teaching staff. I'm sad, furious, & in denial as @EdinburghUni alumna, PhD student and staff member


This was a fun thing to be a part of; really happy to see some of our more tempered* STS takes on codes of conduct make it in. *definitely not: British cynicism

43k is basically what I earn, give or take a few grand. Surprised and delighted to discover that our VC is doing the work of almost 10 Rebeccas (sans the childcare and domestic labour) confused as to where he's finding the time!!
