@AstonUniversity @higsonhe @Study_INTNL @astonvc @gfeiger Brilliant, well done ASTON!

Theresa May, you still have the chance to be remembered for doing something really great. Please put the net zero target into legislation. You can still leave a brilliant political legacy. Do it!

Malaysian PM and ASTON alumni vey impressed that London had elected a Muslim Mayor in Saddiq Khan!

[Julia King @VCatAston]

Very positive meeting with Malaysian PM- women's careers, STEM, overseas students in UK, diversity...

[Julia King @VCatAston]

Malaysian PM says his students going to USA and Australia because of UK visa regulations, sad.

BMW to cease internal combustion engine vehs in 2025 and VW to invest in EVs. Is this a transport tipping point?

The CIPD fails to notice all the other benefits of being a graduate: health, societal engagement, greater happiness, more likely to vote...

[Julia King @VCatAston]

Why is CIPD focussed on criticising university aspirations? Why not worry about the other 50% of young people who need proper training?

[Julia King @VCatAston]

The CIPD doesn't seem to have noticed - over half of graduates are women. Lower pay and career breaks - less likely to pay off loans fully!

@DZSperling Dan, it must be time for your first tweet!

[Julia King @VCatAston]

Good new joke: UKIP have finally acknowledged that men cause climate change- floods caused by gay marriage!
