Would anyone be interested in giving a talk on anything in the realms of the strange and unusual? I’ve founded a society at Aberdeen for all things spooky, gothic, and paranormal. I’d love to look at getting a seminar series organised (most likely over zoom or teams).

Standing by for this 👀 Of course it’s a mere drop in the ocean for the rich senior management, but it could make a meaningful difference for staff hit by the cost of living crisis #SaveBirkbeck @BirkbeckUoL 🦉
Exciting rumours that the VC is going to be cutting his salary today. The whispers are that he will go to 25%, and ask other highly paid senior management to do the same. This is the first thing we've seen that: a) admits culpability b) actively saves jobs #SaveBirkbeck

‘The truth, of course, is that universities are literally nothing without their staff. It’s not fancy venues and central London campuses that change people’s lives but inspiring teaching and world-class research.’ #SaveBirkbeck @BirkbeckUoL 🦉
