You HAVE to read this opinion piece by @juliankirchherr on why the PhD system is broken - young people want to change the world, not chase citations. But universities incentivise the latter - this needs to change! https://t.co/Uusfqqcglc

@airfrance did you honestly make me wait 2 months to tell me my claim wasn't correct and offer me £43 of the £300 you owe me as a 'goodwill gesture' which in itself will take 4 weeks to process? This is beyond a joke now. I had to repurchase already and I will not stand for this!

@airfrance you lost and damaged my bag nearly 8 weeks ago and I'm still trying to get my money back. Do you usually treat your customers this way?

The mistaken opposition between “useful” STEM degrees and “less useful” humanities subjects is a dangerous misunderstanding of the value of knowledge for social progress. It is important that scientists are vigorous advocates for the humanities. https://t.co/XQ4NEuopG0
