Degree, PhD, overseas Fellowship but sadly no secretarial credentials in the subject of "chemisty".

One of the reasons I no longer practise law is my fingers' inability to type anything other than "Cunty Court".
I’m a journalist working for a fantastic organization that my fingers like to call The Exonomist. (Also according to them “organization” is the wrong spelling)

Strong signal here of (literally) tooling up for a step change in importance of #defence in the UK economy. Something for us in #UKHE to consider, in terms of both research and education.
"BAE Systems to recruit more than 2,400 apprentices and graduates in 2025"
BAE Systems to recruit more than 2,400 apprentices and graduates in 2025
The plans will boost the number of people in training with the defence giant to 6.500 – 15% of its UK workforce.

If you're a university, every home undergraduate you take *without a commensurate loss of staff* gets you deeper into financial trouble. Every £200k of research income you win means stumping up £60k you haven't got. Ergo, you cannot survive by being a university and eventually you will close.

The #UKHE sector needs to talk about the way we are changing shape and size with a little less hyperbole. If it wasn’t adapting, rapidly, it would be hurtling towards Enron style crashes. We can debate what the right model is and how we adapt with care but what we can’t do is nothing.

Yay! It was great to collaborate on this and the end result is (I hope!) useful to anyone struggling with where to begin with research funding.
Once upon a time, the Research Whisperers and @frootle.bsky.social wrote a book together. It was an epic tale about getting research funded. For whole story: www.routledge.com/Getting-Rese...
And we published 5 book excerpts on the blog - see 🧵!

Am extremely pleased to see HM Treasury publish their 'areas of research interest'. Have seen other departments do this but can't remember HMT doing it before 👏🏼
Lots in there but am very excited for the public service reform areas - transformational and place based 🙌🏻
