Technically Speaking

Since 2015, we’ve used this account to share University of Leeds Technician related updates and connect with the Technician community. As the nature of Twitter/X no longer aligns with the university's values, this account will be deactivated and moved to another platform soon.

The nature of the channel has also changed over the years and no longer aligns with our University values of collaboration, compassion, inclusivity and integrity. While this remains the case, we will no longer be actively posting on this account.

Since 2009, we’ve used this account to share University updates, highlight research stories, and connect with the Leeds community far and wide. However, in recent years - like many others - we’ve experienced a huge drop in engagement due to developments on the platform.
