For all our chest-thumping and loud claims of solidarity, we remain a country that uses petty bureaucracy to blight the chances of those seeking to access educational opportunities that have been denied them in Gaza. Shame on us. www.rte.ie/news/educati...

Concern over study visa refusal rate for Gazan students

Concern is growing in Irish universities over a high rate of refusal of study visas to students in Gaza who are due to take up college scholarships in Ireland this September.

So sorry to hear about the death of Bill Oddie. Still remember running around at break time in school, hitting people on the head and roaring 'Ecky Thump' at the top of my voice.

90 minutes until next kickoff- just about enough time to finish the excellent Panenka by @ronanhession.bsky.social . It's perhaps the perfect book for a month where many of us feel football is the most important thing in the world. Can't recommend it highly enough.

He has a point here. Not because the EU's policies are always good for humanity; they aren't. But because the idea of European integration—uniting people of different countries as equal citizens of a joint supranational democracy—is more humanist than the opposing principle of national sovereignty.

Great few days at the ESAI - Educational Studies Association of Ireland 50th Conference in Galway. Strange to realise I’ve attended 30 of the 50 conferences! Delighted to reconnect with colleagues, give the keynote (esai.ie/keynote-spea...), and walk by the sea. #educationalresearch

"... women experienced a significant drop in research output (mothers had 31% fewer publications than did fathers eight years after the birth of their first child)." How are the stats for mothers of 2-3-4 children? As an academic mom of 4, I am not surprised at all. www.nature.com/articles/d41...
