First morning(?) in upside down land and looking forward to HRI2025. Task 1: self-beration for sleeping through breakfast. Task 2: exploring Melbourne for the day.

There are cold spots in arts, humanities, and social sciences provision New British Academy interactive maps reveal cold spots in social sciences, humanities and arts in UK higher education – especially affecting disadvantaged students. Ruairí Cullen explains

If you don't abolish OfS and bring back a proper planning body for Higher Education, cap numbers at the biggest institutions, and help more with high-cost subjects, there's no point bothering with HE policy. Because whatever you do will throw good money after bad. wonkhe.com/blogs/there-...

Standing in front of an ocean sunset.

Ocean sunset

30 degree heat, gorgeous ocean sunsets, a 1970s telecaster and so much cava here in Tenerife while two major research proposals reach their crunch point and two project critical workshops take place. Do I feel guilty? - maybe slightly, but the cava helps!
