Eight Nobel prizewinners just called
Nottingham's physics cuts "intellectual vandalism”

You don't rebuild a world-leading physics department with the stroke of an accountant's pen.

From now till April 2025, Lakeside Arts will be showcasing "Cosmic Titans", a ground breaking art-science exhibition exploring the quantum universe.

Who knew Einstein was an experimentalist with such a cavalier approach to Health & Safety?

(seriously though, check out uonphysics on instagram to see what else Einstelf has got up to in the run-up to Christmas)

@AirCanada Hey @AirCanada, could I have a reply to my message please? ☝️

[Meghan Gray @emeegray]

@AirCanada the wifi tool on your webpage is not working for me. Please can you confirm if there is service available on flights from LHR -> YHZ?

@sixtysymbols We also want you to hold your head high if things haven't gone to plan.

Our cohort has top exam performers, students who applied through clearing, and people who took a gap year or a foundation year. Day One in the lecture theatre is a fresh start.

T minus 2 days to A-level Results Day and the start of Clearing. See our advice from @UoN_Physics & good luck 👇

[Meghan Gray @emeegray]

News outlets reporting this morning that the A-level results period next week will be "busy". Predicting lots of movement around Clearing.

Our advice? Be prepared, make a plan, be open to a change of direction....and move quickly. Good luck to all.

And in video 3, we forcefully make the case that neither universities (nor A-level students) should have their worth defined by a single ranking/grade.

[Meghan Gray @emeegray]

Students, parents, teachers! Are you or someone you support anxiously awaiting A-level results?
If results are not as expected, all is not lost. There are always options (believe it or not)

Delighted to be part of a collective rant against university league tables with @emeegray and Philip Moriarty (including my plea at 20:20 for a @DORAssessment-style initiative to rid us of these parasitic evil entities once and for all).

We tutor 220 state school kids EVERY week to increase the number & diversity of excellent mathematicians. In Sept we TRIPLE our cohort, so need more great ONLINE tutors. Can you spare at least 5 hrs/week?

@michaelpweir @sixtysymbols @paulmunday10 thanks Mike, that's kind of you to say!

[Meghan Gray @emeegray]

This was a really fun @sixtysymbols video to make.

Special thanks to @paulmunday10 for the demos
