[Andy Philippides @ProfAndyP]

Great to hear @alicealicealice talking #ecoacoustics on @BBCr4today. I'll be tuning in to wild radio from @KneppWilding when I can find the link! And after @InsectNav on Wednesday, that's two https://t.co/EBVrsn1mOY people on radio this week @SussexEASy @SussexUni

[Andy Philippides @ProfAndyP]

Great work by Franziska Feist, Kiera Smith and Paul Graham! @InsectNav putting the Snacks into @SNAC_Sussex. Will he be observing our sandwich choices at the @SussexNeuro day today? @SussexUni https://t.co/F1h7vnPpgy

🗣️ JOINT STATEMENT BY CAMBRIDGE UNI AND CAMBRIDGE UCU CALLING FOR UCEA TO RESUME NEGOTIATIONS 🗣️

Thread 🧵

[Sam Marsh @Sam_Marsh101]

Spot the difference: on the left @UCEA1, on the right @ukhesa. And yes, that's the dodgy @USSPensions deficit from 2020 now being used to justify pay suppresion as well as pension cuts! Unbelievable. Shame on you, @rkjethwa. #ucuRISING

[Sussex UCU @sussexucu]

Sussex UCU president @JoPawlik and finance & pensions officer Jackie Grant have today written this letter to our Vice Chancellor asking for action over UCEA’s misleading claims.

Feel free to use and adapt at your institution.

[Sam Marsh @Sam_Marsh101]

Wow! Great spot by @MikeOtsuka, who's found that the worst of @UniversitiesUK's claims over the scale of the cuts was repeated publicly during the statutory consultation. Come on, @TPRgovuk, you can't ignore this clear misinformation. @David_Fairs @JosephineCumbo @Barker4Kate
