Respectfully, eat shit. Those kids were expelled, arrested, and targeted relentlessly by their school administrations with the specific goal of preventing further protest. Eighteen year old kids were held down and maced by campus security, hit point blank with tear gas canisters by riot cops.
We will take strike action next week unless the University rules out compulsory redundancies.
The executives we have lost confidence in continue to forecast the need for another £20m of savings. All from staff losses.
We’ve already lost over 600 colleagues. When will the job cuts end?
A really important message.
When we strike, it’s a collective action. We give up our wages and make other personal sacrifices because we know that we are stronger together.
Our voices are amplified by every single member, colleague and student who joins us on the picket line.
We are now recruiting!
We welcome a global and diverse set of applicants for a new ERC Consolidator project funded by @erc.europa.eu

'Understanding the 2024 Summer Riots in the UK: Three Case Studies'
- These events were riots not ‘protests’
- More people were involved than far-right activists
- There were significant community defence actions.

Labour MP Clive Lewis doesn’t hold back on the Gorton and Denton result in this interview with ITV
(1) Casey Means is a dreadful nominee and should not be confirmed.
(2) I don't have any desire to defend for-profit advertising of any kind.
(3) "Obesity is a national crisis" as a message both relies on and perpetuates bias against fat people.
Reflexivity and Positionality Statements in Quantitative Research
"Choices about research questions, data sources, analytical techniques, and interpretation are all influenced by researchers’ epistemological commitments, their lived experiences..."

This is a Nazi move. Stripping people of rights, invalidating their IDs, setting them up for criminalization and imprisonment.
If you don't support trans rights, you support fascism.
How do scientists balance science with protest? My new piece for @theconversation.com, explores how scientists transition into activism and sustain their engagement.

“There’s no end in sight”
Student journalist comments as Dundee University announces a further 180 FTE staff to go.
One of our students is conducting interviews with academic staff to learn how we navigate our academic and labour identities - I think about this a lot especially when we navigate strikes. If you work at a Scottish Uni please consider participating and please share widely!
If you care about the social responsibility of scientists, don’t miss this mid-March talk at the @royalsociety.org
Jeff Waage, @abiperrin.bsky.social & @charliejgardner.bsky.social are courageous colleagues who lead by example.
