A short while ago, Dr Janani Shanthosh and I had an engaging conversation about The Foreign Gaze, which she's now beautifully captured in text and audio.
It's the first in her series of interviews titled On Theory.

Remember guys, @pcsunion.bsky.social staff at the BL are on strike for the next two weeks. Please don't cross the picket line to go to reading rooms, attend exhibitions or anything else. They've endured so much on low pay since the cyberattack in 2023 and the least we can do is have their backs now.

This is complete madness. The utter waste of huge time, effort, hope. And those tiny %s increasingly given to those PIs with grants already and no time to manage them. Funding needs overhaul.
After submitting a FOIA request UKRI, I obtained success rates by three grant call scheme and I can only say that I am disheartened by the results:
- AHRC Responsive Mode 2025: 2%
- ESRC New Investigator Grant 2025: 1%

It is a massive problem in public health that the profession skews middle class - contributes to lack of insight into how many policies will land. Wider access to med school is needed
Having a parent with a professional occupation makes you six times more likely to become a doctor than if they have a working-class job, new research from @kingslsm.bsky.social has found.
