@FirstBSA Hi there, waiting at Forester road stop since 8.20, is the 8.27 D1 service to Bat centre on its way or should I give it up as lost? #hopingtogettowork

@UCLPACT @UCL_IAS Fascinating, what a pity Fellowships have such restrictive criteria in relation to when academics successfully completed their PhD. This is not particular to UCL, but needs to change now the PhD-one postdoc-lectureship pattern is the exception rather than the rule.

I have to disagree Jack Seale, watching the Chinese populace on the street today, last night’s broadcast seems perfectly timed and keeps on resonating intensely.

Simon Schama’s History of Now review – this highly personal show is simplistic and outdated https://t.co/VOBaylYAnr

Ground-breaking Oxford University paper deserves much more air time. It overturns the common thinking that decarbonizing will be hugely expensive (it’s not –in fact it saves us $14-26 TRILLION), but also shows that 100% renewables can displace fossil fuels within 25 years

Happy Windrush Day! Let’s celebrate the contributions made by the Windrush Generation and their descendants and thank all those involved for rebuilding this society. Let’s also take the opportunity to reflect on difficulties faced by the Windrush Generation – past and present.

@victoriamiro So very sorry to hear this. I was fortunate enough to see her current exhibition at Arnolfini and was struck by how vital her voice remains. Some of the key gains women have struggled for are imperilled, if we are to honour Rego’s legacy we will defend them with passion and art.

It is with immense sadness that we announce the death of the Portuguese-born, British artist Dame Paula Rego at the age of 87. She died peacefully this morning, after a short illness, at home in North London, surrounded by her family. Our heartfelt thoughts are with them.

Climate activists are sometimes depicted as dangerous radicals.

But the truly dangerous radicals are the countries that are increasing the production of fossil fuels.

Investing in new fossil fuels infrastructure is moral and economic madness.

You mentioned the effect of the action on your Mum. What was the psychological effect of the action on you following the event?

Air quality affects everybody and any level of exposure can be harmful, but some are affected more. We need strong Government commitment to @WHO #AirQuality guidelines now to protect our health, our children & our communities. @pow_rebecca #VoteCleanAir https://t.co/npnsnux1ew

Delighted and proud to have contributed to this beautiful book in honour of Professor Máiréad Nic Craith, who has been such an academic support and guide to myself and so many others and is a leading expert on Cultural Heritage. Congratulations to the Editors!

[Philip McDermott @ppmcdermott1]

Our new edited book on 'Writing Heritage' is here. What better way to say a massive thank you @mairead_nc?

Victoria Walters photographed niches in and around the Soapworks and Gardiner Haskins interiors store, considering uses of the word in architecture, capitalism and ecology and wrote an essay on what inviting artists to respond to this ‘meantime’ might initiate going forwards.
