Cardiff: University confirms plans to cut 400 jobs Vice-chancellor Wendy Larner says

UK University funding is a mess at the moment. Student fees frozen while costs go up. Fewer international students coming to subsidise courses for UK students. No quotas, so β€˜top’ Universities take more students to pay the bills.

Britain is great in a crisis, but useless in a slump. Just take a look at the NHS | Martha Gill Since we all rallied round to support it during Covid the situation has become ever more dire

Great fun catching up with our elite citizen scientist collaborators at the University of Suffolk yesterday. They’ve been monitoring coliforms in Suffolk’s River Deben & we’ve been sequencing the genomes looking for AMR genes & toxins etc. Special thanks to @countrylogs.bsky.social πŸ˜€πŸ§¬πŸ”¬πŸ§«
