An excellent day receiving training on using @Artec3DScanners with Alex Chung of @CentralScanLtd. This included scanning the statue base of Djedhor the Saviour from @TheEgyptCentre collection, as featured in today's blog by @KittyParker93!

CAN I ASK ALL UCU MEMBERS TO RT THIS FINAL BALLOT THREAD.

For £6.85 you can still vote via special delivery. And that’s fitting because this has been a special campaign.

Let’s look at some highlights.

[Jo Grady @DrJoGrady]

This week we launch a ballot of over 70,000 @UCU members across every university in the UK.

It’s the same story as elsewhere. Gross profiteering, suppressing workers pay, pension attacks and casualisation.

Our members are ready to fight.

RT if you stand with them.

It was pointed out to me that maybe subjects of recent PhD dissertations is a better way of seeing if philosophy is becoming markedly political! SO I looked at the last 5 years of 5 fancy programmes Princeton! There's one on patriotism and one on ancient justice, so two.

[Vivienne Rogers @RogersVivienne]

Thanks #ISBPAC22 for a fantastic conference. Lots of great talks and feedback on our 3 posters: with @dh_bri on aptitude and memory, one with @TesniGalvin on #welsh grammatical gender and @PernelleL on #L2 German prediction. Next time #ISBPAC2024 @SwanseaUni @Swansea_AppLing

USS's assets have jumped by over £22bn since the disastrous March 2020 valuation

Employers must use the scheme's vastly improved financial performance to increase benefits and give staff a fair deal

How I imagine the @UniversitiesUK board meeting before the #USS consultation went out #USSmess #UCUstrike

[Dr Eleanor Janega @GoingMedieval]

Shout out to four very good libraries/museums who don't hold what should be public domaine images for ransom: The National Library of the Netherlands; The Wellcome Collection; The Walters Art Museum; Berlin Staatsbibliothek. God bless you for the commitment to making art public.

The directors of the #USS trustee board were meeting today to sign off the controversial 2020 valuation, which will reduce #pensions for thousands of active members.

Questions now over whether the directors can continue to sign off the valuation w legal cloud over its validity.
