Huge turnout at UWS for the rally against the proposed job cuts. Such strength and solidarity between EIS and UNISON members in opposition

Today I found out a manuscript which has been under review for more than a year had been rejected after a change of editor, then I was informed I was not being put forward for a major grant. Then at 4.59pm I found out my team won a different research grant. What a day.
