“If all you are interested in is allocating research funding, you would generate much the same distribution if you were to base it on institutions’ number of FTE research-active staff. I suggest we do that in the next funding round and ditch REF 2021.”

I'm not going to engage with the news or social media this week. I'm going to focus on work (-ing remotely), staying positive and calling friends and family.

Good luck everyone. If you're feeling blue @JMSmith79 recommends playing ABBA really loudly. It works.
