Last year at BETT 2026 we had the legendary Sir Stephen Fry as our guest #Taskmaster.
This year, it was the turn of the equally legendary Professor Hannah Fry.
Which Fry will it be next year?

Missing from the coverage of redundancies at Edinburgh: this was done in such a haphazard, uncoordinated way, there are now core teams who have gone from 5 people to 1 with no change in workload or pressure and huge loss in knowledge of institutional process. www.heraldscotland.com/news/2576321...
Hundreds of staff leave Edinburgh University amid cuts drive
According to the university, 345 of these departures were the result of a targeted voluntary severance (VS) scheme run by the institution in 2025.

We had a brilliant time at BETT UK last year with none other than Sir Stephen Fry as our guest Taskmaster 🤩
We'll be opening the show again this year in the Arena with some tasks to get everyone warmed up & ready for the day.
If you'll be there, be sure to pop along (& do say hello afterwards) 👋🏽

We forced the enormous teddy bear out of storage, into Alex's car, into Alex's house (terrifying his dog), into my car, up the M40, back down to Alex's house, & back to the #Taskmaster House.
So, after all that, the production team inevitably thought 'we should probably use this in a task'.

This book is brilliant, terrifying, and hopeful in equal measures.
If you’re a parent, or anyone else involved in the lives of young people, please read it.
I’m hoping that it’ll change the way I parent indefinitely.

The extent of this across academia is quite extraordinary.
Students are citing made-up papers supposedly written by the very staff members marking their assessments.

I’m sorry, but it is disgraceful to be an academic who uses this technology to conduct research. It should be prohibited in all of our scholarly institutions, including universities and journals.

Happy Email Hot Potato Week to all who celebrate.
It's Email Hot Potato week, where we all frantically respond to emails in order to clear our inbox for Christmas.
Only problem is, everyone is doing the same thing, so it becomes a furious battle to avoid the festive Email Hot Potatoes.
Academia is just such a high octane endeavour, guys.

Why does professional always mean conforming to confident masculine culture?
Screw that.
“Professional” is getting your job done. What’s not professional is thinking someone isn’t good at their job because they use emojis! 😤
Communication evolves, and the trajectory is to the less formal.

Trump posted this without knowing Nick Reiner had been arrested. He posted it apparently assuming that one of his fans had murdered Rob Reiner. So if you want to know how Trump will react once his fans start murdering his enemies, now you know. He'll celebrate and blame his enemies.

My chum, Bron Mills, has been chatting to my other chum, Alex Horne, on the Lead Out Loud podcast.
It's a fun wee listen.
I'm also described by Alex as being "very persuasive & having a lot of energy".
I think that translates as "she's a bit of a noisy pest" 😂
