The Unseen University is built upon a very simple mandate: to create a university environment based solely around the pursuit of higher education.

"This #conference seating offers excellent caressing of the buttocks" @AledJLlThomas #basr2019

[UnseenUniversity @UU_Academics]

Where is the MEAT!? #basr2019

[UnseenUniversity @UU_Academics]

It's a pretty rockstar feeling during your #conference paper when everyone lifts their cameras to take pictures (of your slides). #basr2019

[Vivian Asimos @vivianasimos]

#BASR2019 Note: please don't leave in the middle of someones talk. It's distracting and rude. Wait til questions

[UnseenUniversity @UU_Academics]

We interrupt our commentary on #basr2019 to find a plug. Or a pencil for our standard issue #conference notepad.

[UnseenUniversity @UU_Academics]

@DrSuzanneOwen It's utter chaos. There's audience participation and everything. It's all very modern.

[UnseenUniversity @UU_Academics]

Protip for never over running on your paper: stop the watch/clock #basr2019

Conference Organiser: "Any problems with the wifi?"
Me: Too busy facebooking to reply. #Conferences #basr2019

@PickersgillM @USSbriefs This. There won’t be postdocs in ten years time just armies of insecure PhD students with limited employment rights. So the people in security are going to have to back up the precariate by taking action. Not just striking when their pensions are affected.

How about we don't let this fly? If you're going to hire someone to take on full time lecturing, you pay them.

[Dr. Johnathan Flowers, Sword Bisexual @shengokai]

Pay graduate students during the summer. That's it. That's the tweet.

Casual academics “work double the hours they are paid for”: @ucu survey finds some hourly paid and part-time academics may be effectively earning less than the minimum wage

Established academics at conferences who are willing to mentor a #postdoc should wear badges or something so they're easier to find. #easr2019

[UnseenUniversity @UU_Academics]

How about we put funding talk at the start of the conference? - especially when the funding emphasises the choice of supervisor. That way, #PhDs and #ECRs can spend the rest of the time hunting down potential supervisors. #easr2019

[UnseenUniversity @UU_Academics]

Finding an echo chamber at conferences is very easy. Instead find your critic and hold onto them. #easr2019

[UnseenUniversity @UU_Academics]

@TeemuTaira Fewer keynotes would help.

[UnseenUniversity @UU_Academics]

Always remember to have your phone on silent at a #conference. It's not the beeping that's the problem. It's all the giggling that follows #EASR2019

[UnseenUniversity @UU_Academics]

@ProjectRS Now trying to work out @ProjectRS location by triangulating the backs of people's heads.

[UnseenUniversity @UU_Academics]

You know what #Conferences really need? Sweets. Sweets everywhere. Just little bursts of sugar, that's all. #easr2019

@DrCisco There's no flag for me!
