@KGaitis many congratulations Konstantinos, we will try to deserve to have you!!

@drmeganoneill @Geog_UoD @dundeeuni many congratulations Prof Megan - fantastic news !

Yesterday I received the amazing news that I have been promoted to Professor at @Geog_UoD @dundeeuni. Many, many thank yous to my amazing colleagues and to my husband for his unwavering support and encouragement. I think I have passed the sobbing stage - bring on the bubbles!

@r_kjellgren @scarletiona @Crim__Justice bravo Richard great publication

Huge congratulations to Scarlet Robertson on passing her viva, some revisions to do but the panel clearly loved her data and her defence. Thanks to @DrColinAtkinson for his expertise as the external (& for not working Star Wars into the list of revisions) @StirlingUniCrim

Some news! A team of us (5) have been awarded a development grant to determine the risks of criminal harm from the introduction of freeports in Scotland. Thanks to @TheSCCJR for giving us the funding. Just happy that we can be proactive about this now and not later on 🙂🤞

@urbaneprofessor well which brand 'used' Borodin's Polovstian dances (with a link to this year's academy awards). By the way, whatever the answer is to your Ravel question, I suspect it will do nothing for your street cred!

Dvorak's Hovis Bread symphony and Katchachurian's Theme to the Onedin line etc. etc.

Relatedly, we were at a concert of Baroque music on Sunday and I thought they could bring the punters in by combining a concert with a quiz of "which item was advertised by/which TV programme used this tune?"

Fancy joining SCCJR? There's a vacancy for a Senior Lecturer in Criminology (mat cover/12 months) jobs.ac.uk/job/DFJ069/sen…

well done Konstantinos, a good read on an important issue.

@urbaneprofessor poach them with cloves, cinnamon and red... actually no- screw it - it's Wednesday.... Eat pear with big hunk of cheese (manchego), drink wine, watch drivel on TV, bliss...

Second reason. Over a kilo of deformed tiny pears in our organic box. Do you worst with your recipe suggestions please, my darlings 😘

@MeganCareers @StirUniCareers good luck Megan wishing you all the very best time together

Lovely send off from the @StirUniCareers extended team - lots of kind well wishes and lovely gifts for me and for the little one. Out of office on indefinitely!

In this new article in The Political Quarterly (@po_qu), I analyse how Nicola Sturgeon spent her time as First Minister of Scotland. To whom and what did she give her time as FM — which issues and interest groups had access and proximity? Which didn't? onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/14…

@MariaFotopoul13 @melanie_lovatt @BeaHorn254 'thirded' if that's a thing

@melanie_lovatt @BeaHorn254 Second as loudly as I can!!!!

Am never not minded to publicly declare appreciation for @BeaHorn254

I realise this might be a strange time to advertise given everything *flails arms around* but if industrial action has shown us anything, it’s how amazing our colleagues are! Come join this really great crim team (and broader SSPC dept). If anyone wants to chat, let me know.

Remember: you have a legal right to join a union and to take part in IA. If a manager threatens the future of your career, team, or programme because of your TU activity, they are engaging in trade union victimisation and BREAKING THE LAW. Know your rights gov.uk/join-trade-uni…

Stirling Students: If you have not already done so, you can sign this open letter that calls on @GerryMcCormac to meet with us and find a way forward through this dispute. If you have signed, share and circulate with your friends! openletter.earth/do-your-duty-s…

Coming soon a new edition of Introduction to Police Research, spent most of the afternoon sending our proofs to contributors, exciting times, great to see it in print, due for publication end of the year. 🙂

An amazing crowd for this morning's strike rally - staff and students coming together this call on management to negotiate now!
