Almost two thirds of people who have died because of Covid-19 were disabled, statistics show.

Marie Tidball, co-ordinator of the Oxford University Disability Law and Policy Project, told The Times there should be an inquiry into the deaths. https://t.co/nPb3zl8l0S

Listening to @hillarygyebi speak at the WonkHE BLM event has been truly eye-opening and humbling, she has brought so many talking points up that are definitely going to cause change across the whole HE sector. #WonkHEatHome #WonkHEBLM

Ooh, I think my #6wordcovidstory goes a little something like:

Can't sleep, writing papers, daily yoga.

Much less poetic than Bethan's!

Thanks @JRolfe67 - so think my #6wordcovidstory goes something like:

It’s quiet out but chaos in

Applicant disappointed that the campus tours have stopped for the day? Slap an Out of Office sign on your stall and go give a tour yourself 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼

@bethandudas I work on the 'Engagament' team a lot of the time according to my emails.

2020 is Florence Nightingale's bicentennial year and the WHO designated #YearoftheNurseandMidwife; so ARU Students' Union is looking for our student nurses and midwives who may like to get involved with arranging events to celebrate this! @VP_FraserL

Officer Update - check out this great update from your Elected Officer @VP_AmandaC on the #RaiseTheBarARU Campaign to get an SU bar on Cambridge Campus.

Thank you to @AngliaRuskin and the students involved for the support and response to this campaign. #WeRaisedTheBarTogether

[Demi Smith SU @DSmithSU]

@AngliaRuskinSU officially #RaisedTherBarARU!!! So so proud of our officer team for getting one of their biggest manifesto promises done and showing students the power of the student voice!

[Demi Smith SU @DSmithSU]

That’s my faculty rep! 🎉🎉🎉

Got the green light! We will be hosting a Christmas at the SU event on Dec 25th (from 12-3pm) in Chelmsford ❄⛄
So if you know any students who will be alone or on campus over Christmas, send them our way. We will have food, drink, movies and games! ☺️

At 11am there will be a minute’s silence held outside the Guildhall in Cambridge and on our Cambridge campus in the LAB courtyard for all who want to participate.
A book of condolences will be organised and available in the Science Centre Atrium later on today.

I knew Saskia both in my role and in my personal life. She was an astounding person, the truly best parts of humanity, always ready with a helping hand and a smile no matter who you were. The world is surely a darker place for having lost such a bright, inspiring woman.

[Demi Smith SU @DSmithSU]

@DrCharlesLeads @Wonkhe I would love to hear more about your thoughts on this; what kind of model would you replace it with?

[Demi Smith SU @DSmithSU]

A really interesting read; so useful to see someone digging into the policies and manifestos and making sense of them!

[Wonkhe @Wonkhe]

Some politicians want to end marketisation in education. NUS' Hannah Sketchley has a think about what could mean. @sketch_hannah https://t.co/RMtyxHQtP3
