In March 2026 the University of Exeter was boasting of its top 100 QS World Rankings status for arts and humanities. Now it is devastating the same areas with drastic cuts. Something is seriously wrong. Solidarity to all the excellent colleagues affected by this. news.exeter.ac.uk/university/e...

What Donald Trump says he intends to do in Iran doesn’t sound like he wants to decimate their infrastructure. Clearly he doesn’t know what ‘decimate’ means. This is why you need to know Latin.

This is very depressing. And the situation will only get worse with Starmer’s mad plans for immigration. The UK HE funding model has been dysfunctional for decades. Labour knows this but has made no move yet to fix it. What they are doing will only make things worse. 1/ qmucu.org/qmul-transfo...

Thanks Keir Starmer and the Labour Party. @labouruk.bsky.social @yvettecooper-mp.bsky.social Glad to know I’m a stranger after living in the UK for 46 years and paying taxes here. Do you have any idea how hurtful that speech was?

UK universities depend on international students to subsidise UK students. @bphillipsonmp.bsky.social We have opportunities to recruit excellent international students as the USA becomes unwelcoming. Why discourage them coming to the UK? They contribute much to UK unis, including billions of £££.

So disappointing to see Labour @labouruk.bsky.social @yvettecooper-mp.bsky.social pandering to false narratives on immigration. Immigrants don’t steal jobs, housing, healthcare, school places. They treat patients, teach young people, build houses, pay taxes, improve growth. Change narratives!

Really, Yvette Cooper @yvettecooper-mp.bsky.social, do you actually think that care staff are ‘unskilled’? It takes much training and skill to support elderly and vulnerable people. To cut migration figures, stop counting international students as migrants: they aren’t.

After the US-UK trade deal, very glad I have my own supply of organic, grass-fed beef. Hormone-free and not routinely fed antibiotics to stimulate growth. They just eat the stuff cattle are meant to eat: grass.

So here’s my personal impact story. I had been approved to be a Fulbright visiting scholar in a Latin American country (not naming to protect my proposed hosts) on the topic of feminist and gender archaeology. The approval for the project was retracted. I’m pretty sure that isn’t legal.

I lost my job at the National Science Foundation yesterday, along with 167 of my colleagues, including some dear friends. This was the best job I've ever had, and I thought it would be my last. The PI community has been sympathetic and supportive, without exception. I will miss working for you.

I realise there’s a lot going on in the world for news media to report, but can anyone tell me why there is no coverage of widespread Presidents Day protests against the current actions of the US administration by BBC, NYT, CNN, etc?

The Washington Post refused to run this ad. Sure would be a shame if it went viral.

Who's running this country:
MUSK
Donald Trump or
Elon Musk?
Since day one, Elon has created chaos and confusion and put our livelihoods at risk. And he is accountable to no one but himself.
The Constitution only allows for one president at a time. Call Your Senators and tell them it's time Donald Trump fire Elon Musk.

New federal mandates are transforming the curriculum of U.S. military base schools to restrict discussions of history, race, and gender, which creates glaring differences from the education systems of their host nations. open.substack.com/pub/usamomin...

People continued to use stone tools long after ‘prehistoric’ periods: their use in classical Greece is well documented but often neglected. Many tools were unmodified objects: a stick, a reed, a useful rock, a handy piece of broken pot. This is my rock for destoning olives. Works a treat!

A shout out of gratitude to the kind and brilliant taxi driver who took me and 5 others to Gatwick from Three Bridges braving the chaos caused by the airport’s major security alert. Would never have made my flight without him.
