Spot on Ben. Just what the world needs: another loner, socially awkward, psychologically maladjusted billionaire πŸ™„ we’ve got enough of them already. I doubt he will make 30 anyway the way he is going. The media needs to stop lionising these types.

Are narrow β€˜tick-box’ promotion metrics in #highereducation stifling genuine collaboration, skewing academia’s core values and distracting from focusing on the bigger career picture? www.timeshighereducation.com/campus/tickb...

Crash course The UK’s universities are among the best in the world. So why do many appear close to collapse?

Do you want to know why Britain's university system is imploding? Well, if you do... Make yourself a nice coffee, pull up a chair and take a look at what I wrote back in the summer for Prospect magazine. Please repost if you agree! www.prospectmagazine.co.uk/politics/pol...

To paraphrase the immortal Robin Williams β€œThe weather out there today is cold and shitty with continued cold and shitty in the afternoon. Tomorrow a chance of continued crappy with a pissy weather front coming down from the north”. There is a 350m hill in this photo 🀣🀣 time for coffee and cake.
