I am begging HR and Hiring managers to stop asking for referee reports that are more than 10 questions long and have questions that are repeated. If you don't already have the answers and believe them then clearly 16 questions asking about stakeholder management 3 times isn't going to change things!

When you have politicians who refer to scientific or technical expertise as coming from "fanatics" it becomes all but impossible to provide advice to government. But that doesn't mean we shouldn't train people to do exactly this.

Advising governments about science is essential but difficult. So train people to do it
A great scientist doesn’t necessarily make an effective science adviser — but schooling and practice can help to bridge the gap.

We’ve just passed legislation to establish an independent National Student Ombudsman.
Not enough has been done to address sexual violence in our universities and for too long students haven’t been heard.
That begins to change with this legislation.
