Opinion: Your students won’t read any more? Are you sure you’re paying attention? Simplistic analyses belie the complex evolution of students, instruction, reading practices, college regulations and communications media, says Harvey Graff bit.ly/3Q7UafT
This feels like an odd anti-OA argument in this week’s @timeshighered. Is selecting texts and sign-posting them to readers really a fundamental change in the function and purpose of a library? I thought that’s what they already do!
"Be wary about wading into a new field too far behind the curve. To gauge what stage trends are at, plot the increase in papers. Don’t invest if the graph is too steep: you will get lost in the avalanche." timeshighereducation.com/blog/how-win-c…
"I suggest we halt many studies in health and social sciences until timely dissemination and replicability are addressed. Instead, systematic reviews and meta-analyses should be prioritised" timeshighereducation.com/blog/social-sc…
Wonder where Times got their idea for a splash using uni accounts to show how much fee income Russell Group draws from overseas students? @timeshighered did the exact same thing (with a rather more nuanced explanation of driving factors) - a month ago. timeshighereducation.com/news/russell-g…

"I eventually received payment after three months, but, by then, I had had to decline all further in-person invitations for this cycle. And no, I didn’t get the job," says @EleanorPalser @timeshighered timeshighereducation.com/blog/tardy-int…
This article via @nytimes provides only two alternatives of cancel culture & free speech. In my op Ed in @timeshighered last week I set out a 3rd path of competing human rights. @JonHaidt @Yascha_Mounk @PaulJump nytimes.com/2024/02/16/art…
"If we conservatively estimate that a single bid requires 2 months of person-effort, that’s almost a combined 12 years of work to prepare internationally competitive bids for just a single call, of which more than 8 is completely wasted." @timeshighered timeshighereducation.com/blog/spending-…
"The polar expedition tents provides visual symbolism of Arctic science...There was also a more prosaic reason for camping out: a hotel room in Davos for WEF-week costs something around a student’s annual fees." timeshighereducation.com/blog/frozen-to…
"It is important to rebalance the support provided to various stages of the RD&I continuum, including bottom-up basic research, applied research, development and innovation." @timeshighered coverage of our recent joint open letter together with @ScienceEurope @EARTOBrussels ⬇️

Opinion: A significant amount of scholarship money goes unclaimed even during a cost-of-living crisis because of arduous and opaque application processes, says Eve Dullabh timeshighereducation.com/blog/scholarsh…
"It was a difficult homecoming. I arrived in February and lodged with my mum. I was broke, cold, unemployed and strangely disoriented. All I saw was a wet, grey, dark England and I hated it." timeshighereducation.com/joys-and-trial…
"His jaw had set in a pained rictus as he thought again of the royal shafting he’d received the day before. Where had all that bitterness come from? Was it university life that had changed – or him?" John Gilbey is back with his annual Christmas cracker. timeshighereducation.com/depth/guvnor-p…
@PaulJump @timeshighered I’ve conducted many interviews. That wasn’t typical in my experience. But I can see how others might do this. But then Northern Ireland employment law changed things along with a need to attract people there.
"I have come to the view that appointment decisions are typically made before interviews are even conducted. There is no realistic way to move up the pecking order unless the Chosen One discloses something “problematic” at interview." timeshighereducation.com/opinion/so-you…
Very interesting piece from three prominent US experts on why the UK should stop beating itself up over its commercialisation of university IP. @timeshighered timeshighereducation.com/blog/uks-infer…
"We have stalled in our attempts to address excessive workloads & that isn’t because our members didn’t care enough. It is because of employer intransigence, yes, but it is also the result of strategic choices around when & how to take industrial action." timeshighereducation.com/blog/ucus-fail…
"Our role is not to provide a platform for anything goes, akin to the wilder reaches of the internet, but to provide substantive, rigorous, evidence-based knowledge & understanding. & we should never shy away from saying “It’s more complicated than that.”" timeshighereducation.com/opinion/stayin…

This is the event Truss is attending with Farage. Imagine, for a nanosecond, how it would be reported here if a Labour politician was aligning themselves with such poison.
MAGA influencer Jack Posobiec at CPAC: “Welcome to the end of democracy. We're here to overthrow it completely. We didn't get all the way there on January 6th, but we will endeavor to get rid of it and replace it with this right here…Because all glory is to God.”
Klopp: "If you ask me, ‘Will you ever work as a manager again?’ I would say now no. But I don’t know obviously how that will feel because I never had the situation. What I know definitely – I will never, ever manage a different club in England than Liverpool."
It's nice of Word to put in another feature to trap the unwary. resolved comments that stay in the final doc so when you upload it to (e.g. a journal) they can see your comments saying this reviewer is clearly a twat but let's appease them
I have had 00s of messages from Cons friends in govt, Parliament & around the world telling me this move by the PM vindicates my decision to noisily resign. I didn’t want vindication. I hoped it would add pressure on govt to prove me & others wrong. We need an election. Now.
Tory peer @ZacGoldsmith, who quit as environment minister in June, describes Sunak’s net zero decision as “a moment of shame” for UK. He also raises question of PM’s mandate… unlikely to be the last to do so.
This is a major problem.⬇️ The media are the vascular system of a democracy: like arteries, they carry the nutrients on which the health of our democratic debate depends. Yet too many outlets just pump sewage into the political bloodstream. That poisons the entire body politic.

Vic Reeves and Bob Mortimer's 1992 one-off Channel 4 sitcom pilot The Weekenders is something of a lost work of genius, if a little different to the direction they went in afterwards. Surrealist Ealing Comedy. It really should be better known than it is. timworthington.org/2021/12/25/loo…
The PM really does need to understand that he is now further damaging U.K. science by not immediately rejoining Horizon, presumably to placate some know-nothing fringe bloviators who know nothing about science, its value or how it’s conducted. As Lord Rees says below, it is…
For a government obsessed with British Values, they have profoundly lost contact with any sense of what Britishness means to the vast majority of us.
@a_webb @secrettory12 There is no huge influx. We take far fewer refugees than other major European countries. This is just an immeasurably cruel policy directed at the most vulnerable people in language that is not dissimilar to that used by Germany in the 30s, and I’m out of order?
PM Sunak says "There’s unfinished business on Brexit". Yes..reversing it! This deal might be welcome, but it addresses the symptoms, not the Brexit malaise.

Article in today’s Daily Mail. The Trust didn’t remove Easter from its egg hunts. We did say Henry VIII used mobility aids because it’s true. Was research though - not a rebrand. We’re not allowed to rebrand historic figures as far as I know - that’d make my job sought-after 🤔
