Logic would dictate that rooms are numbered consecutively i.e. Room 1, 2, 3....n. But not at UoB, where the room you're looking for is not in order and is in a secret, hidden place. Once you find it, you don't have access anyway

"Women are PIs on 58% of the canceled grants, although they are PIs on only 34% of all active NSF grants. Similarly, Blacks are PIs on 17% of the terminated grants, although they make only 4% of the total pool. Hispanic PIs and those with disabilities were twice as likely to lose a grant."

The current pandering of the Labour Party to Reform voters is not what the majority of Labour voters want. This is exactly how I was treated in NL as a white immigrant with a PhD. What do you think it was like for people without that privilege? Awful. Do not allow the U.K. to become like this.
