Folks, I've done it. I wrote up my best fiction of 2025 (please clap). Long thoughts on each of the top ten, short blurbs for each of the rest. In total: 86 books. Nonfiction still to come. I have read so much this year, please benefit from my efforts. And tell me what you loved yourself!

Problematic (to put it kindly) on so many levels. 1) there isn't really 'unfunded' research. The REF is there to allocate resources so that research is possible without a grant.

I really think universities underestimate how true this is for a lot of students and their parents. They don’t want us to try to pretend to be cool. They want us to be a bit dusty, and very serious. Enthusiastic, definitely! But also nerdy. We’re selling them ACADEMIA.

“The UK government’s continued complicity in Israel’s atrocities is unconscionable, and I do not want to spend another day operating on children who have been shot and starved by a military our government supports.” Devastating reporting.

Self-inflicted embarrassment for the University of Warwick — first it rebrands hyper-generically, then someone totally unhinged decides the *front page of the uni website* should say ‘Learn more about our Brand’.

We are calling on the UK Government to not introduce a levy on higher education provider income from international students, reduce visa costs to attract global talent, and to review higher education funding to create a sustainable model www.thebritishacademy.ac.uk/documents/58...
• Discontinue the idea of introducing a levy on higher education provider income from international students.
• Reduce visa costs to ensure they are at least as competitive in cost as other leading science nations, and preferably have a target to become the mos competitive in the G7.
• Provide immediate clarity that the current time length for Indefinite Leave to Remain is kept in place for current and future Global Talent visa holders and their dependents.

I am appalled by the REF digging its heels in about portability, disadvantaging so many early career and precarious scholars and those who were shunted out of institutions and undertook research in spite of inordinate pressures and job cuts. 1/ 2029.ref.ac.uk/news/cku-cop...

Just came here to say that I’m truly sickened by the extreme anti-migration turn of Starmer & his government whose Immigration White Paper makes the frankly astonishing claim that net migration has caused “incalculable” damage to this country.
