So this link shows all the universities going through redundancies. Most of them don't have numbers, but those that do total to nearly 2000 members of staff - it is likely that the true number is more than triple this. In any other sector (1/2)

What the hell are @RootsAllotments doing?

The Skylark is a Red-listed species with a population decline of almost 70% since the 1970's.

Either Roots Allotment didn't do their homework or they've made a conscious decision to displace these iconic birds?

This #NewYear, we're urging people to ditch the #fads and pick just a few small changes that you can stick to e.g. add one more portion of vegetables to your dinner each day, swap sugary snacks for fruit or choose wholegrain bread or pasta. https://t.co/tAofsOCF6t

In a world first, the UK medicines regulator approved a therapy that uses the CRISPR–Cas9 gene-editing tool as a treatment

The landmark decision could transform the treatment of sickle-cell disease and β-thalassaemia https://t.co/0GZawmL6V0

NEW: we need to talk about UK graduate wages, and the idea that Britain sends too many people to university.

American readers should stick around for the UK/US comparisons 👀

Let’s start with this: the UK graduate wage premium has fallen substantially over the last 25 years
