Spent the weekend in the office to finish A Thing after a week with very little sleep. Now very tired, but also rather more excited about research than I had expected to be. Interesting 🤔

Oh for gods sake, we're asking about strikes again, at expense of the members, at a time when we really need to focus on so many other things. I suppose when you only have a hammer, everything looks like a nail. The perpetual, tedious cries for a strike really don't help at all

'Fewer graduates regret going to university than is widely assumed and the public have a more favourable view of universities than people imagine, according to new research.' 1/3

timeshighereducation.com

Public vastly overestimate level of ‘graduate regret’, poll finds

New research highlights misconceptions about higher education, with people more positive about universities than is commonly realised

This is very bad. Although entirely predictable. Once more the humanities are being cut back to prop up STEM and, increasingly, AI investment (including at the expense of bench science). In the past, cuts to humanities were promoted on two separate logic streams that do not hold true: /1

How do you ensure a nation fails to cope with drought? Privatise its water system. Almost everyone wants our water renationalised. Almost everyone, that is, except the government. This week's column. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

High water bills, filthy rivers – and now drought. This is England's great artificial water crisis of 2025 | George Monbiot

In its refusal to nationalise water, it’s clear the government operates in the interests of private capital and not of the country, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

Men are extremely keen to explain to me that Britain *needs* a domestic steel production plant and doesn't necessarily *need* universities. Okay. Steel contributed about £1.7bn to the UK economy in 2024. Universities contributed more than £200bn.
