'In the most notable case, the University of Nottingham’s University and College Union (UCU) branch has declared strike action of 67 days, expected to last for the majority of the autumn term, as the institution looks to cut 600 full-time equivalent jobs.'

I am personally shocked that after months of declaring Britain to be ungovernable because not possible on their terms and their terms only, the British political and media class now have little to offer against a far-right street movement with authoritarian and exterminationist aspirations.

Sharing a big first: the first 1st-author paper from my first PhD student, Abi Wyllie. Definitely a first worth celebrating. So here's a summary, if you're interested in familiarity, memory, and attention. rdcu.be/2uSWUCg3PBia
title of the paper: Long‑term memory speeds encoding, independently of attention

So why did Mr T take that name? Because white people would often call black men ‘Boy’, and so this way they’d have to accord him the respect of being a man. Extraordinary interview by @shattenstone.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...
Aged 18, he changed his name to Mr T. "Let me explain that," he says. "See, everything I do there is a reason behind it. My father was a minister and I watched him being called Boy. And I watched my uncle being called Boy. I watched one of my brothers who was a marine come home from Vietnam in his beret and uniform, and some white guys were calling him Boy. So at 18 I had to register for the draft. I said, if I'm old enough to fight and die for my country, I'm old enough to be respected as a man, so I self-ordained myself Mr T at first. Then I legally changed my name to Mr T later on, so the first word out of everyone's mouth would be Mr."

Universities across the UK are calling their redundancy programmes ‘voluntary’. In today’s Sunday Times a Senior Lecturer in Humanities completely exposes that lie.
 “I didn’t want to leave, but anyone who stays in that job will be burnt out by November. It will be far worse for the students, because they are losing so many specialists in their fields, and it will leave no time for research.”

Entirely this. We tried to make this clear during our own uni's "voluntary" scheme - it was clear there were people submitting to the scheme not because they wanted to leave the job they had, but because they feared what their job would *become* after the exodus of so many valuable colleagues.

academics should be slow, steady, scholars who produce solid, original contributions to specialized fields of research but also: if you want security you'd better be a personable star who can explain everything to anybody in a few small words and serve as the face of your institution's PR campaign

The centrality of discernment to productive AI usage is obvious, and that's why I find the insistence that AI can be used as a teaching assistant (or worse, a *teacher*) so baffling. By definition, a student *isn't* an expert on the subject they're studying. 44/

FWIW, I don’t think the major problem in my field, or related ones, is that people need to move faster & produce more. I read a lot of papers as part of the job, and I’m increasingly convinced we’d benefit from fewer papers and better ones, not more mediocre work produced ever more “efficiently.”
