It costs about 7k visa and NHS fees for a 3 year postdoc. My post doc pay is about 35k before tax. It is ridiculous. I paid for it using my grant money but that means less money to actually do science.

Vox Holloway singing The Special AKA’s “In the Studio” at Alexandra Palace theatre last night was a lot of fun. In a nice bit of circularity, Jerry Dammers speaking afterwards said he’d first heard of Mandela at a 65th bday gig at Alexandra Palace in 83 and wrote Free Nelson Mandela afterwards.

NEW: Elon Musk’s X has suspended accounts of Turkish opposition groups, suppressing footage of anti-government protests. So, best we share all the footage we can here! This was last night’s massive demo against Erdogan’s government, which follows the arrest of his rival Ekrem İmamoğlu. 🇹🇷 #Turkey

So here’s an interesting patient involvement role. You get to sit on the anonymous client’s board ‘and lead a team of patient reps’. But guess what? ‘On an unpaid voluntary basis’. Why are patients still the only experts who don’t get paid for their work? jobs.theguardian.com/job/9490847/...

City Hall has issued a high pollution alert for London due to air pollution from mainland Europe. I urge Londoners to look after themselves and protect those with conditions such as asthma. This includes refraining from engine idling and burning wood or garden waste.

As Honest Bob Jenrick tours the country repeating far-right conspiracy talking points about “two-tier sentencing”, here is the letter his own government sent to the Sentencing Council last year approving the very Guidelines he now claims are evidence of “two-tier Keir”. The man is a fraud.
