One of those weekend pieces comparing foods from supermarkets caught the eye. Not because of the preferred mozzarella, but because one of the reviewers is from the ‘Academy of Cheese’…

I've no idea if it's true, but the word here in Brighton is that the fascists will be met off the trains by drag queens and a samba band. You don't have to be an idiot to bring white supremacy to the most welcoming and inclusive city in the country, but it sure helps 😜 🏳️‍🌈 🎉

@Ethixbird @GblBioethics @BSMSMedSchool @SussexUni Amazing Bobbie, so well deserved x

@damien_page I’m unable to make this date, but look forward to joining you next time.

@damien_page 🙋‍♀️if including PS leadership too

@damien_page As a professional services leader in HE from a working class background it is important that I use that experience to help students in a similar situation. I’ve often thought about a blog or podcast, but never quite got round to it.

@hughjconsulting When I worked in medical education, it was an unclassified degree but there was norm referencing of subject honours (top 10%) in each subject.

#HigherEducation peeps: Does anyone know of any UK university which uses norm referencing for degree classification, please? (eg top x% get 1st, rather than all who get x% get a 1st)

@mike_rat @nickswarb WTA…? 😲

@nickswarb @joann_corbett I see the Express copied out the Sunday Times story about student non-continuation, but gratuitously added the epithet ‘Snowflake' to the headline for no reason at all. express.co.uk/news/uk/180192…

This is quite the approach for results & confirmation week. Changing the exam boundaries to save students from dropping out? Does the ‘source’ know that’s why, that it’s nothing to to do with cost of living?

@HoyleTime @mike_rat It just feels like an agenda which will cause more anxiety for a cohort who have been through enough (and their first exams), and more work for unis in sorting out places for those who missed their predicted grades because of this.

@joann_corbett @mike_rat I can see how they would, it does correlate and it fits an agenda they have so 🤷‍♂️ best not look any deeper.

@Jo_MacDonnell @HE_Harriet @Nina_Walker00 @neilwithnell @VirnaRossi @rachelleeobrien @NTF_Tweet Well done Jo!
