“I’m not a regular lecturer; I’m a cool lecturer,” you tell yourself, as you reference another tv show cancelled before your students were born.

[Florian Scheuer @Florian_Scheuer]

I'm excited to welcome Abhijit Banerjee, Bernardo Silveira and Esther Duflo as our new colleagues @econ_uzh!

As of today, Esther and Abhijit join us as Lemann Professors of Economics, and Bernardo as Professor of Applied Microeconomics.

A true quantum leap for @econ_uzh!

First they came for me. Like, right away. I tried saying "Don't you have some trade unionists or gypsies or something to deal with?", I tried giving them names, but they weren't interested.

theresa may so either my right honourable friend had not read the rules or didn’t understand what they meant and others around him or they didn’t think the rules applied to number 10 which was it

Published today, and just in time for summer meetings, here are your guidelines for presenting badly

[helena constance 🕊 @helenarambles]

my friends are getting articles accepted, book contract offers, incredible presentation and conference opportunities, writing for public as well as academic audiences, and no one is getting jobs. our whole generation is in premature mourning for our promised futures.

@DrIanCollen I don't think he is modelling the discipline our grammar school pupils remember. He hasn't done up his top button!

[Allison Morris @AllisonMorris1]

Jeffrey Donaldson has been taken to the holding cells for transport later to Maghaberry prison to start his sentence, the most spectacular fall from grace of any politician in recent times, he is also now to be placed on sex offenders register

Resigning as Prime Minister because your party lost a by-election is one thing.

Resigning as Prime Minister because your party WON a by-election is just absolutely fascinating.

@neilojim1972 @akicif Can they relate to it across the North? The Belfast blitz largely didn't affect west of the Bann, and now for primary aged children, it would have been their great or great grandparents that were alive then!

[Sarah Creighton 🍂 @Saraita101]

Random side point but I'm reminded of a funny story I heard from a girl. She said in the 90s she had to stand outside her classroom when Tufty the road safety squirrel came to school because Tufty was a member of a Royal Ulster Constabulary.

Sorry to see the Phoenix going

When doing a Young Bloods piece on me, they even reached out to an ex-situationship of mine. That's the type of thorough you don't get everywhere

Another motorist killed on the way to work. Drive with care guys.

@HalphG @niroads Government self insures.

[Jeffrey Sachs @JeffreyASachs]

The Vanderbilt Report relies far too heavily on anecdote and broad generalizations, unlike my own critique of academia in which I use autoethnography to interrogate the neoliberal subordination of higher education to the imperatives of racial capitalism.

[J.Cooke @JCooke0909]

The one defense against this is hiring more medieval and early modernists!

[csz @cszabla]

good lord it’s hard enough being an academic in the UK during marking season; now we have to worry about medieval violence

[J.Cooke @JCooke0909]

This is highly significant. The end of mandatory coalition would be a significant step forward for NI.

[John Finucane MP @johnfinucane]

No party should be entitled to hold back the formation of the Executive.

Sinn Féin has today launched our view on making politics here work better.

The Assembly & Executive must be stable & capable of delivering for workers, families & communities.

That is exactly what we are determined to do.

You can read the full proposals here: https://t.co/MR0tJpk5Kr

I went to a theology conference once and it was exactly like this.
