Tutoring and academic advising of UG students is one of these things we do that can take up quite a bit of time without any visible effects, so it's very gratifying to find notes like this lovely little card under my door this morning - thank you, that's made my day!! #chemsky #education

What happens to science under autocracy? The rise of the National Socialist Party in 1930s Germany provides an (admittedly extreme) example. Prior to the early 1930s, scientists at German institutions won a third of Nobels. 10 years later, that number was 5%, and has never recovered.

While UK universities are still charities it is true that the introduction of fees have not helped the system, and the issues pointed out in that article amplify some of the problems that come with the commercialisation of research and education
