“Where does ‘vulnerability’ actually lie in police station interviews?” asks Dr Gethin Rees of @UniofNewcastle. Is it in the interviewees or in their evidence? Come along on Wed 3 June, 3-4pm to room CCE1-401 to find out. For info contact Prof Ward: tony.ward@northumbria.ac.uk

Hey @mubi, do you know the subtitles on A Summer's Tale are out of synch with the dialogue? Sometimes by a whole day!

@craiglaverick Surely that's from Horatio?

This week I was provided with the reasons that students gave when nominating me for a SLTA. One such reason was “Craig guides me very well. He takes great care of me whenever I need him” I’m the only Craig in the Law School so who have they mistakenly thought is called Craig 🤔
