Terrible news about Jason Arday. Contrary to the recent media frenzy, plagiarism is not an isolated problem in academia & certainly not an EDI issue. The deeply entrenched bullying culture on the other hand is a serious barrier to inclusive environments in which truly transformative work can thrive.

Excellent news! “[The ruling] is a devastating indictment of the impartiality and competence of the OfS, implicating its operations…It raises important and urgent questions for the government as it plans to grant ever more powers to the regulator." www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

A lion’s mane jellyfish washed up on South Beach in Troon on the west coast of Scotland. One of the largest jellyfish, it is a beautiful if intimidating presence for those of us who swim off this beach or walk on the shore: the tentacles can reach 3m & will sting long after they’ve been stranded
