: Half of UK universities face a deficit next year. Up to 50 could close.
That is a sector in crisis. Simply blaming a tuition fee freeze and nudging fees up with inflation is not a plan. Where is the long-term strategy for higher education?

Very honoured to contribute this image to the WHO Global Summit on Traditional Health this week. The summit will bring huge advances to traditional medicine.
Great working w. @yoelitlalim.bsky.social on the historical timeline.

Is the study of history relevant for the world today? There was a resounding “Yes!” from all corners of the world gathered in the summit.
It was a great honour to have been invited to the Second WHO Global Summit for Traditional Medicine in Delhi and see the exhibition to which @mstanleybaker.bsky.social and I advised in the real world. (Huge!)
