We were all out on strike so unable to retweet this on the day, but now happy to say: Solidarity!

[Dr. Xine Yao @xineyaophd.bsky.social @XineYaoPhD]

I was supposed to deliver a talk at @UniofNottingham today for @AmCanNotts

When #UCUstrikes days were announced I emailed the VC West to say I was canceling in solidarity with my Nottingham colleagues

(Of course I now see there is an autocorrect typo 😞)
