£770m. That’s the economic benefit international students contributed to the city of Sheffield in the 2021-2 academic year. We’re calling on the government to recognise the economic, social and cultural value of international students and remove them from net migration figures.

I had a great time last week visiting @ICT_Bradford! Thank you to @SEK2016T and @DrSneha_S for inviting me and to everyone for all the interesting discussions, especially the ECRs at the round table!
What a remarkable way to wrap up the @ICT_Bradford Spring Seminar series with Dr. @Leni_Green’s enlightening insights into targeting dormant cancer cells! A heartfelt thank you to everyone who joined us for this exciting journey! #ICTSeminar #CancerResearch @ULifesci @UoBPaMS

Remember, Paris wasn’t “always this way.” It wasn’t even this way in late 2019 when I was last there. Just a few years ago, #Paris was choking in car traffic much more. This is new. This is leadership. Cities are a result of choices. HT @Khayat_Fouad

I can strongly recommend this as a great opportunity for anyone interested in geopolymers, cements, and/or nuclear waste! - this builds from a couple of projects I was involved with in the past, and Brant and the Sheffield/Hokkaido team are continuing to do very cool things.
