Numerous delegates seated in a theatre style set up listening to the conference.

#TechAbility25 is a go! Delighted to see so many familiar and new faces at conference today. We've got some great sessions lined up throughout the day - let's get going with it all!

We are delighted to share that the threat of redundancy has now been removed from two areas that had been targeted - Leverhulme Centre for Forensic Science and Education Assistive Technology.

Congrats to our colleagues! We will continue to fight for all staff and the future of University of Dundee.

Our redundancies will not now go ahead.

Thanks to all who gave us their support and solidarity.

@ducuuo.bsky.social will fight and will win no compulsory redundancies for staff who are not at fault for the financial collapse of the University.

If you are interested in finding out more about the assessment, provisioning, ongoing support and review of digital #AssistiveTechnology in health, education, social care & beyond this could be the MSc for you.

This week I have mostly learned that not everyone is not as honourable as me and my pals

“It really should not be staff and students who pay the price for the abject failure of senior management.”

NO REDUNDANCIES at the University of Dundee.

Fantastic news in our fight to save jobs, as interim Principal Prof Nigel Seaton confirms that there will be no redundancies. A massive victory for everyone who has supported us.

Looking forward to receiving the removal of Section 188 in writing.

So much for attracting females into STEM subjects... This is a major backward step.

A crowd of union members and supporters stand outside in the sunshine. They are all wearing white Universities and College Union caps.

Day 3 of our industrial action today.

Join us as we fight to rule out compulsory redundancies at the University of Dundee.

Today there will be freshly made pizza made whilst you chat with the best people!

Solidarity to everyone affected by these harmful cuts

The University of Dundee continues to target female and disabled professors and Women In STEM (science, technology, engineering and maths).

No-one at the University can explain why they are doing this.

We will continue to fight to stop these compulsory redundancies.

I’m staying in Dunfermline, have been commuting up. Next week is our teaching and conference week so will be around all week. I will send you the deets, you are welcome at any parts that take your interest. Wednesday night is free if you are about, @tg-at.bsky.social & I require little encouragement

Yup, here I am. Hope you are well Daniel.

I hear Tapbots are making a new Tweetbot-like client for BlueSky @phoenix.tapbots.com so if you liked TweetBot for twitter (before Elon pulled the plug on third party clients) you might want to give them a follow.

Hello. Have given in and created this account. I still think Mastodon / Fediverse is a better platform and underlying technology (ActivityPub), than BlueSky, which could still be bought by a techbro and get Xittered … unfortunately the #AugComm #AssistiveTechnology peeps are not over there.
