Congratulations @joshpizpom - glad the hard work (starting of course with @thegaudie at Aberdeen) is paying off for you. A great hire for @heraldscotland.
14 months after this picture was taken on my first day of work experience, super pleased to share that I am joining @heraldscotland on a full-time, permanent basis; beginning on Monday. I'll be focusing on live news and investigative journalism.

Languages aren’t just school subjects - they’re keys to connection. Portuguese got me breakfast first in Cascais, Spanish saved a New York taxi fare, and Albanian made me feel local in Pristina. Another language creates opportunities and leads to moments you never anticipated.

New @BritishAcademy_ report on #ColdSpots in SHAPE provision - languages are the worst affected but the report debunks the myth of market-led provision: rather than reflecting a change in student-demand, the cold spots are a reflection of deepening youth inequality 👇
BA report shows that worst cold spots in SHAPE are in Modern Foreign Languages: French & German single honours degrees are declining sharply, with cold spots in all 4 UK nations. Progress in expanding provision of non-European languages is being reversed. https://t.co/m1pfHXvVzp
