Devastated that the Centre for Lifelong Learning @york.ac.uk is being closed after 40 years. What a loss to education in the region. Feel for students and staff. Being a tutor has been joy, doing what universities should be doing by sharing knowledge widely with our communities.

For the prompt of "Extraterrestrial" on Day29 of the #30DayChartChallenge, I decided to make a chart designed in the style of an extraterrestrial who has never heard of good data visualisation principles! 📊

This week we ran our #LibInspo competition.
Five students, from across all three faculties, pitching ideas to improve the student experience in the library.
We work with the winner to try and make their idea a reality, and they get £500 for themselves.
And it was BRILLIANT.

Amazing to see my fellow forensic speech science pal getting her work recognized in the media - it's a fab paper
Our paper on accent bias in forensic contexts is out: frontiersin.org/journals/com...
It’s the first in a series of studies from the IVIP project bit.ly/ivipproject with @wrightdw.bsky.social, @nataliebraber.bsky.social & @nikolaspautz.bsky.social looking at what makes voices sound more guilty.

Bill Labov died this morning. I'm not coherent enough to talk about how important and influential and brilliant he was. I am very sad.
I was so lucky to know him, and I am grateful every day that he (and Gillian, and Walt, etc) built an academic field where kindness is expected.
