No worries. Are you going to ICON in Dublin? It’s long overdue that we meet.

Tomorrow evening it’ll be my annual duty to vaguely shepherd the activity on the #duvetknowitschristmas hashtag and urge people to give small sums to charity. 7.30pm? Something like that?

In my chapter, I explore how legislative drafters should approach choosing which tense and which aspect to use when drafting Bills. Many thanks to the editors - Tímea Drinóczi, Giulia Pennisi, and Helen Xanthaki - for inviting me to contribute, and especially to Tímea for her comments on my chapter.

I had a very similar experience to Mark and I am also appalled by this change (as well as by the drastic cuts to PhD funding by universities). I would not be an academic now were it not for the AHRC funding my doctorate. Academia should not return to being the preserve of those with wealth parents.

That doesn’t mean that no-one has sought advice about it.

I'm very happy to share that, after 12.5 years teaching at the University of Edinburgh, this September I'll be moving to the Public Law team at the University of Glasgow. I'm honoured to be joining such a great team of scholars in this amazing Law School, and I'm looking forward to this new chapter.

Even accepting the premise that AI produces useful writing (which no one should), using AI in education is like using a forklift at the gym. The weights do not actually need to be moved from place to place. That is not the work. The work is what happens within you.
