Word of the day is ‘recrudescence’ (17th century): the return of something terrible after a time of reprieve.

@will_tosh @The_Globe Congratulations 🥳

In 1952 my grandfather William Clarke started work as a turbine operator at Bankside Power Station. So it’s a special honour to see this view from my desk as I begin a new job as interim Director of Education (Higher Education & Research) at the glorious @The_Globe ❤️⭕️

Let us imagine you receive two good v good peer reviews recommending publication and let us imagine those reviews plus a short response you wrote went before a press syndicate. How long would you imagine it would take for a response (hopefully, a contract) to arrive?

@PaulBirch5 @ridinglights @obsilverfox Dream team!

@GreenWill92 Would love to hear more - this was what my thesis was on!

Me in many conversations at #BSA2024 @BSA_Conference today

On my way to @BSA_Conference ! But delayed by two hours in Sheffield station due to a fatality at the next stop :(

The Spectator - yes, the Spectator - takes Sunak to task for the £2000 Labour tax claim - and uses the same methodology to show the Tories' plans would cost 50% more....

The Spectator has just ran the figures for the Tories' published tax plans. On Sunak's maths, it works out as £3,000 tax rise per household. Details: spectator.co.uk/article/on-sun…

This letter is very tricky for the Conservatives.

To all my brilliant students: you can register to vote wherever you'll be on 4 July. Everything you need to know is here: electoralcommission.org.uk/voting-and-ele…

The 4th July - a date forever associated with vanquishing an unpopular, out of touch leadership who charged taxes without providing services. I'm not sure Sunak has thought this through... #GeneralElection

Is it raining? I hadn't noticed.

@DrPeteKirwan @MaryBaldwinU Congratulations - fully deserved

@PascaleExeter Sorry to hear this, Pascale. Wish there was a fairer and more transparent system in place. These specific good things may not happen, but fingers crossed for the next good thing...

In recovery mode after a big grant application that took my study leave plus six months to put together with some brilliant colleagues and partners has been turned down despite being ranked "fundable" and "excellent". Good things now won't happen for want of resources. Aaaargh!
