@AileenFyfe Thanks - I had a good read of this yesterday, very interesting and nice to read a ‘book review’ in this form!

@william_whyte @melanchtion Thanks… will have to track it down!

[Greg Morgan @grogmorgan]

@william_whyte @melanchtion I guess this is from his autobiography, No Discouragement?

Following our commitment to align PhD student stipends with the Net Real Living Wage, @SHUDocSchool is pleased to confirm our 2022/23 rate as £18,178. Henceforth, we shall continue to base our stipend on the @LivingWageUK RLW, unless/until that is exceded by the @UKRI_News rate.

[Greg Morgan @grogmorgan]

@UKRI_News * ‘Effective impacts for society and the economy’ presumably excludes ensuring the PhD stipend keep up with the cost of living

[Greg Morgan @grogmorgan]

@AileenFyfe @jcdrg It will take a few years… but this is one of the few papers that looks at where ‘excellence’ came from https://t.co/wcu30M0ild
