So grateful for the opportunity to lead on the analysis and original draft of this.
Great to see UK institutions looking to reform reward and recognition practices. Quietly optimistic about the future.
Well done to all involved - especially Robert Darby for his tireless efforts.

Today, the UKRN’s OR4 project releases a new report that describes the UK landscape of responsible researcher assessment, with a particular focus on open research. Led by Robert Darby from the University of Reading. https://t.co/ZrLgkRgify

NEW: “In one of the most ambitious traffic overhauls yet proposed in Europe, Hanover Germany will remove almost all of its 4K street-side parking spots to discourage people from driving into its inner city.” They’ll give the space to trees, cafe seats etc. https://t.co/TS7hPknFnv

Much like the 'public right of way' paths you get, hemmed inside a fence line (often barbed/electrified) through private land

Yesterday we swam at Spitchwick in defiance of the estate's ban on wild swimming.

Once again, the actions of a wealthy Dartmoor landowner has highlighted the precarious nature of access to England's countryside, and the need for an English Right to Roam Act.

Amidst the @UCU marking & assessment boycott, I’ve seen over the past few weeks the class of 2023 designated the most unlucky year group in recent memory. I would know — I’m a part of it. But we’re not suffering from bad luck. 1/

@pnewall I have no meaningful insight into this but how unfortunate is the name Gainsbury in this particular instance.
Potential hypothesis test on the theory of nominative determinism...

@RishiSunak @Telegraph For the love of Christmas get this polemicizing **** out of government. As if 100 years ago families weren't able to live their lives...
The issue is in systemic design. And that's why ****'s like this need their hands off any design of our systems!

What it feels like to be a uni student in 2019-2023, and how things could change for the better, a long 🧵. After the final, toughest year of my integrated master’s degree worth 44% of my overall grade, this is the slap in the face I receive from @durham_uni on results day. 1/20

[Brian Cox @ProfBrianCox]

You were lucky. I had to get up in the morning at ten o'clock at night half an hour before I went to bed, drink a cup of sulphuric acid, work twenty-nine hours a day down mill, and pay mill owner for permission to come to work, and when we got home, our Dad and our mother would kill us and dance about on our graves singing Hallelujah. And you try and tell the young people of today that ... they won't believe you.

@birdhustle @woofdadddy @StuartJRitchie Nobody said anything about it being 'uncomfortable to discuss'. The question is whether bullshit science should be propagated uncritically in mainstream media as a downstream effect of poor peer review standards

[@[email protected] @RobbieC_Bristol]

@birdhustle @woofdadddy @StuartJRitchie Hence the claim that preregistration would confer confidence. If you want to infer causation from correlation, then have a causal explanation, derive a prediction, and test it with a degree of severity that provides compelling support/ rules out counter-explanation of fishing

Heating still on full in 5 Priory Rd. No option to turn off ourselves. Same problem which we flagged last year.

Love that commitment to the #ClimateEmergency @BristolUni
