Sound advice for academic job hunters is to speak to people who used to work in the lab you’re applying to. I’m always happy to talk to anyone applying for positions at any labs I’ve worked in or with people I’ve worked with/for. Email here port.ac.uk/about-us/struc…

6/ An argument re: we shouldn't be political is why should I have to pay a price for the past when things are better? That's a tragic viewpoint for profs to have who prize complexity. It isn't objectivity; it's willful ignorance. Our studies/subjects do not exist in outer space.

@Ese_Manzano @J_Shake1 Modern pollen veg stuff in saltmarsh! 462 quadrats done 🤪🤪

@ACMJulier @J_Shake1 Sure he must be grateful!! I have seen and done so much worse! What are you actually doing?

Told @J_Shake1 he should be grateful to have access to such high tech equipment during his PhD. That’s a spoon gaffa taped to a stick. For science!

Gorgeous day out on the salt marsh at Fishbourne Channel with @J_Shake1 doing vegetation surveys for his PhD! Lovely bit of open oak woodland here too. @HeritageHub_uop @GradSchoolUoP #saltmarsh

Today we are celebrating one of our Heritage Hub funded projects, with Fishbourne Roman Palace @romanpalace. The project is looking to investigate what the environment around the Palace was like when the Romans were there using sedimentary eDNA and pollen analysis (palynology).

Love this! What a cool family connection to have!

Finally a UK newspaper has noticed … How the Tories pushed universities to the brink of disaster theguardian.com/politics/ng-in…

Good to see the ⁦@guardian⁩ nailing the corruption of university managements’ values and academics’ resistance here.

University states that the board of governors has confidence in the VC, but really have to ask yourselves why? What has he done to inspire confidence, precisely? Union lodges trade dispute after University of Portsmouth job cuts portsmouth.co.uk/education/unio… @ucu @UcuPortsmouth

A common piece of advice when choosing a supervisor is to ask their students about what they’re like. I think a better way is to see where their old students are now. Have they finished, how long did it take them to finish, what are they doing now? The reason why is because if you ask current students, you don’t know how open they are being, for a number of reasons. Talk is cheap, and results are harder to fake. #PhDVoice @PostdocVoice
