Me of little faith - it looks much nicer now!

Term 2 day 1 at #lancaster #scc! A smattering of rainy snow isn't quite as nice as the bright sunrise in term 1 but looking forward to teaching again! 2hr project module workshop soon, a lecture in the afternoon, arranging Y3 project meetings, & admin today. #DoTLife

Drawing curves with splines might seem a boring topic to think about but the incredibly smooth presentation of this means everything seems so obvious even when it gets into the maths. Excellently done! https://t.co/YKk15Svj9S #cs #graphics #education

Higher education is one of the UK’s finest exports, with wonderful cultural as well as financial (worth £30bn) benefits.

This would be an(other) act of stupendous self harm. #TomorrowsPapersToday

[Dr. Jess Mason @DrofletJess]

Time for this PSA again. So important but I am always amazed how many people don’t know this, because the media doesn’t say it - withdraw our labour = they withdraw our pay - rail workers, post office workers, university staff - we all lose income every single day we strike @ucu

[Paul Dempster @PaulDempsterCS]

Rich societies can afford to pay for things that are important if we realise just how almost inconceivably rich a tiny sliver of the world is, and how little they would be affected by using some of it for other things we also think of as very expensive. https://t.co/FAyYT8BsTK

[Paul Dempster @PaulDempsterCS]

Made difficult decision to strike with @LancasterUCU to avoid real-terms pay cuts.This&other sectors of economy rely on people's passion for the job to push through the excess workload.Don't feel guilty for standing up for yourself.All sectors should be fairly treated #UCUstrike

[SCC Lancaster @SCC_Lancaster]

Amazing collaboration with our researchers, Lightworks, and the amazing artist Jack Irving - can't wait to see it!
