A thread on the dispute at Exeter Uni. #ucu #defendexeteruni @ucu.org.uk On 15 June HR called Exeter UCU into a confidential meeting and informed us they would be putting over 500 colleagues at risk of redundancy and expected to loose around 200 staff. The number of c.150 you’ll have seen is FTE.

Thanks to Dr Luis Eduardo Luna for his endorsement of my book, The Psychedelics Manual: Metaphysics and Meaning: “A must-read for anyone interested in psychedelic[s] …Well-organized, clearly written … it’s especially valuable for psychedelic therapists and facilitators ... I highly recommend it.”
