Our symposium on Regulatory Futures & Medical Devices edited by @profmq @LauraJDowney and @JTFRoberts has now been published in @LawTechHum. Articles are based on papers presented by participants at our workshop on Visions of the Everyday Cyborg which took place last September.

Thanks to everyone who came to our workshop at Gladstone's Library! If you missed it, we've written a brief report summarising the papers presented at the event 👇👇👇 blog.bham.ac.uk/everydaycyborg…

📢📢Happy to announce my new paper 'embodiment seriously in public policy and practice: adopting a procedural approach to health and welfare' is out now in Monash Bioethics Review 👇👇👇 link.springer.com/article/10.100…

@JoWolffBSG I can't see an animal that lives off nuts and berry's without thinking of the lyric from the Talking Heads song 'Animals'

@Biojammer I'd forgotten about this record, I listened to it incessantly as a 10-14 year old. Gonna have to re-listen today.

How many records have this many great songs? Especially at debut.

@JoWolffBSG @BobEaglestone It's still big in Spain when I did my degree. Is perhaps philology just a synonym for what the UK would call 'Modern Foreign Languages' (some language training, read some of the literature, understand a bit of the country/cultural group's history etc)

Happy to announce that my paper ‘Taking Embodiment Seriously in Ethics and Political Philosophy’ has been accepted in the Journal of Value Inquiry. It’s open-access, and available for online view now. link.springer.com/article/10.100…

@Biojammer I love the click-bait-y 'The Olympics hate him'

I am broadly in favour of this as an idea, with a range of obvious caveats, but the idea of “coming out as enhanced” is wild

If anyone is looking for a wild read today, check out this Cosmopolitan article: cosmopolitan.com/lifestyle/a440… Thanks @helloginnybatty for sending this to me.

@UWankings I got that email this morning too... Kind of mad... Also, if they wanted to genuinely make it enticing, they could have put some money on the table... Anyone respond?

@mattlodder It's pretty wild...

@mattlodder There was a famous scandal involving the Spanish basketball team pretending to have cognitive disabilities to compete in the Paralympics too bbc.co.uk/news/stories-5…

@profrichharris @DrJoGrady @UCEA1 I marked lots of essays as a PGR (maybe circa 1000 over 5 years), and did a good job. Provided 500 words feedback, identified good and bad bits, provided detailed suggestions for improvement, All for less than 5 quid an essay. Exploitative? Yes. Is there an excuse for this? No

@DrJoGrady @UCEA1 I think we need to be careful with this. If they were marked by PGRs, whilst we may not approve, it isn't right to subject them to Twitter's collective wrath.

These are actual examples of responses the strike breaking exam markers are giving final year students. What an absolute disgrace. And the employer @UCEA1 stands by as the dispute grows increasingly bitter. Please RT this so they are completely exposed.
