A university drop-out problem? Hmmm. Might it be: Covid lock-downs blighting education: a cost of living crisis; unprecedented industrial action on campus; inflation dramatically reducing the unit of funding? No. Itβs that we were not tough enough in dishing out A-level grades.

My two takeaways thus far are the potential of microcredentials as demonstrated by @AbertayUni and coffee with ADDed conversation from colleagues at @MyBCU. Loving the pedagogic conversation at this yearβs conference #efye2023

Judge the Tories on their record: Brexit, Windrush, food banks, Universal Credit, bedroom tax, hungry kids, Grenfell, Rwanda, fracking, partygate, Trussonomics, double-digit inflation, mass homelessness, the cost of living crisis, sewage in our rivers and record NHS waiting lists

Academic colleagues in the UK - tell me about universities who offer #phdbypublication for external candidates (i.e. academics who are not employed at the awarding university). TIA π

Shameful
NEW: income inequality in US & UK is so wide that while the richest are very well off, the poorest have a worse standard of living than the poorest in countries like Slovenia https://t.co/gtHvhNsnuT Essentially, US & UK are poor societies with some very rich people. A thread:

Time to clarify a few things: 1. Iβm not βBoris Johnsonβs catβ 2. Like all Prime Ministers, heβs only a temporary resident of Downing Street 3. I live here permanently. When he finally goes, I stay 4. Yes, itβs all very embarrassing but it will be over soon
