I will go to my grave angry about the Trump administration's wholesale efforts to destroy American excellence in fundamental and applied research.

Oh HELLO 🤩 huge congrats to @beamg.bsky.social on this romping history of fangirling - beginning, of course, with those falling into swoons over our brooding badboy Lord Byron and taking us right up to Harry Styles 💋 Suggest pre-ordering this one: out on 3 July 📚 @bitebackpublishing.bsky.social

We had our School Away Day yesterday - a bunch of academics being shown around the amazing facilities of iCCi and The Docking Station at the historic Chatham Dockyard (where Call the Midwife is filmed). I came away full of ideas and empty of energy 😄 #AcademicSky

Devastated that the Centre for Lifelong Learning @york.ac.uk is being closed after 40 years. What a loss to education in the region. Feel for students and staff. Being a tutor has been joy, doing what universities should be doing by sharing knowledge widely with our communities.

Just read a fascinating academic article about #totp - "Everybody's on top of the Pops";: Popular music on British television 1960-1985 by Paul Fryer. The show had an audience of 17 million a week in the late 1960s 🤯

Devastating news: "An end to teaching and research in ancient history, religion, theology, Portuguese, German, and Italian. The schools of ancient history and theology will close."

I'm going to type up some handwritten notes for the Proposal (it's probably about halfway there now, yikes!), and then I'm going to play video games because they're research. Also, just ate an ice lolly - feel much better.

Today is Refugee Day. So we thought it was time to dispel the myths which surround asylum seekers and refugees. Could you live on £49 a week?

This has been an excessively long week. This week has had at least 15 days, each around 40 hours long.

Now 99 universities officially making redundancies, and I've heard of a few more to take us over the 100 mark. If I were a student, I'd be 'shocked and offended' by that more than anything else. Still nothing is done. qmucu.org/qmul-transfo...
