This statement by university bosses is an absolute disgrace.

Taking 100% of pay from our already underpaid members - who are at work every single day - is aimed at destroying their own employees.

It’s them, not our members that threaten students education.

RT if you agree.

We introduce the first fluorinated Zn-salan complexes and trials for sensing amines. Not all projects are successful but can drive future discoveries-million kudos @Nsikakessiens @YoussraHilaly @GeoffAkien @GrahamTizzard @colessj @BesoraMaria. https://t.co/AcGy3bXn5a

Scientists spend too much time taking “professional selfies”.

A paper from PNAS describes what it takes to be a scientist today. Key points (that I always emphasize myself):

[Peter Armstrong @PeterAr18228396]

One of the (many) problems with packing university governing bodies with business people is that the unadorned exercise of power is such a normal part of business management. Applied to teaching and research the result is a curtailment of academic freedom

The US health insurance giant Centene has been taking over our GP practices.

North West London Primary Care Commissioning Committee has a chance to end one of Centene's contracts.

@HealthierNWL: Don't renew the contract - #DontRenewCentene

@alex_bukvic @martinez_a_j @WellerYorkChem @albrecht_lab Well done Alex, I'm sure the examiners were blown away by your pioneering work on rhobalt!

[Illan rua Wall @ruawall]

OK, lets say you're a Uni VC... over the summer you have been advised that with social distancing you can bring students back to campus, which is good because without them there is a major shortfall in accom revenues... then evidence came in (aug) from the US that it wasn't...

@unisouthampton @SouthamptonCC @NHS Why not test all staff?

[Peter Armstrong @PeterAr18228396]

Most university academics have spent 25 years in an education system which rewards competitive behaviour towards peers and submissiveness towards authority. Thus socialized, they are incapable of collective resistance in crisis situations

Great sum up of pension dispute

[Sam Marsh @Sam_Marsh101]

It seems VCs at @USSemployers are struggling to understand what they need to do to end the threat of heavy industrial action over #USS, and I'm appalled by how little "leadership" we're seeing from such highly paid servants of the sector. Let me enlighten them. 1/

'@Sam_Marsh101 said the treatment of Prof Hutton had been “a disgrace”'. She's been '“motivated by trying to get straight answers to straight questions, but has hit a brick wall; if she has breached her duty as a result, it’s out of exasperation”' #USS https://t.co/8feMRsOFYp

[Dennis Leech @Dennis_Leech]

I am not confusing anything. Members will definitely lose their defined benefit pension if they accept what is happening without resistance. The only way they can get the UUK/USS/tPR - all of whom are human - to engage seriously is by industrial action.
