Bioscientist trying to understand learning & teaching and the student experience, also singing and choral conducting - similarities?

@DamianLow3 Of course her response has nothing to do with the fact that she is Richard Tice’s partner. As always her reporting is entirely unbiased.

Obama: Imagine if I had done any of this. Imagine if I had pulled Fox News’ credentials from the White House press corps. Imagine if I had said to law firms that were representing parties that were upset with policies my administration had initiated, that you will not be allowed into government buildings. We will punish you economically for dissenting from the Affordable Care Act or the Iran deal. We will ferret out students who protest against my policies.

It’s unimaginable that the same parties that are silent now would have tolerated behavior like that from me, or a whole bunch of my predecessors.

Outstanding journalism by @BBCRosAtkins and his team.

@BBCSteveR @BBCSingers @BBCRadio3 That is so beautiful and heartfelt!

This will never be unfunny... Every time I watch it I burst in laughter 🤣

Another sad example of the destructive power of religious intolerance and control. The education of women is the most transformational, effective and positive factor in societal and economic development.

Not every university takes students with top grades, but those which recruit students with lower grades are not ‘poor quality’. Not every international student can afford the fees at top ranked unis- but that doesn’t make them suspect.

@GrahamScott14 Have fun Graham. I hope our paths can still cross at some point!

This is an astonishing article. Rewards for failure?

A good weekend- last night the brilliantly funny Ross Noble at De Montfort Hall, today the amazing Van Gogh Immersive experience - a must see!

@cjrw I agree absolutely- we are utterly dependent on plant life and understanding its processes and the critical environmental interactions but it is taken for granted. It should be core to all academic programmes.

Never let the facts get in the way of a headline story - shoddy reporting by #thesundaytimes The Sunday Times on international foundation years https://t.co/vgEnEZNBkL via @wonkhe

My wish for 2024: that politicians and world leaders would care for their people and for the world we all inhabit and that they would give up on their greed for personal aggrandisement and power.

There’s plenty of heat around international student numbers just now....

Rather than accept that, we want to highlight three facts 👇

@mainlymono Hi Paul,
Yes - I’m still around, just been avoiding X for a while!
Thanks for the link - a new one for me and very good.

Had a notification from the Post Office that I needed to pay £1.50 to have a letter delivered because of insufficient postage. The letter - an unsolicited request for money from a charity!

@ToraTom1 Pleased to see an inquiry panel really doing their job!

[Jon Scott @jon_scott]

Lord Hollick's summary statement re the OfS was trenchant 'However, it was evident throughout our inquiry that the OfS is failing to deliver and does not command the trust or respect of either providers, or students, the very people whose interests it is supposed to defend.'
