Hi @PhilBentleyCEO,

The fantastic Mitie team at St George’s are balloting about going on strike because Mitie want to cut their hours and jobs. The opposite was promised when the contract was awarded.

Will you meet with me and @GMBSouthern ASAP to discuss?

Thanks,

Rosena

I'm excited that we will be looking at climate change as our "big problem" in @stsucl next year, showcasing how STS helps us understand the world. Already on our open day today we've had some great thoughts from potential students on "can science solve climate change?".

Asking right questions is going to be so critical for the future of medicine. Stick the wrong questions & assumptions into artificial intelligence & it risks becoming artificial stupidity, self-perpetuating & hidden in an impenetrable black box.@PaulLikeMe @EricTopol

The @UniofExeter twitter has pointed out to me that I erroneously use ‘salary’ here. The Exeter VC does not receive this grotesquely high sum as a salary, rather it is made up of component bits, including an actual grotesquely high salary, pension contributions, bonus payment etc

Just took the dog for a swim. Tied a breeze-block to its collar. Nice and heavy. Likely to improve its traction.

START overfeeding your pets now so that you and your family have more to eat after a no-deal Brexit.

@briandavidearp That's brilliant, many thanks. Wondering how many journal editors will be discretely sending this to authors too...

[UCL Science and Technology Studies @stsucl]

A few pictures from the STS workshop at @ucl @BeingHumanFest last night - a resounding success! Many thanks to Chiara Ambrosio, @philmedman and Bill Maclehose for their input.
