@Cambs_Traffic @CadentGasLtd OK thank you. As I only discovered this while already driving to work on Fen Causeway, only alternative route was along Silver St. Could you pls confirm whether Silver St bus gate fines will not be issued temporarily while Fen Causeway closed today?

Do you have a memory so vivid you can relive it?

@CambPsych and @durham_uni are exploring how vivid human memories work across our lives – and how ideas about vivid memory have evolved over centuries.

Your experiences could help us understand memory in new ways.

Take our survey: https://t.co/RrzNZTpum0

I'm recruiting a postgraduate research assistant to work in the Cambridge Memory Lab, administering cognitive tasks and helping with lab administration. Would suit someone who's just finished their degree and wants to gain research experience. Do apply! https://t.co/ED83sOQjcx

[Jon Simons @js_simons]

We all stand on the shoulders of giants, and I'm very aware of how fortunate I am to follow in the footsteps of so many @Cambridge_Uni researchers who made fundamental contributions to our understanding of memory https://t.co/ZjaJg9MEBB

[Jon Simons @js_simons]

With support from @UKRI_News's new cross research council funding scheme, we recently launched our project 'When Memories Come Alive' with the first meeting of Memory Club, bringing people together from diverse disciplines to reflect on vivid remembering

NEW on Wonkhe: Rachel Wolf argues the tuition fee rise doesn't signal Labour's confidence in universities - they must show value to communities and working people https://t.co/prVEaHSt5p

[Jon Simons @js_simons]

@PascoFearon @educationgovuk The trouble is, the govt will likely feel raising fees to the level needed is politically impossible, in which case what to do? Different fee levels? Fewer universities? Raise taxes? No easy solutions!

[Jon Simons @js_simons]

@Mike_Page @educationgovuk No, I’m sure it’s not being considered, for perfectly understandable political reasons (irrespective of whether you or I agree with those reasons).
