Some of my (new) records of this year (excluding the #Broadcast demos CDs which were a highlight, and the Fire Engines retrospective Chrome Dreams) Lots of stuff on space, time and memory here... and some cracking tunes!

Happy days as UKRI prepare a contingency plan for institutional failure. This could be a year of mergers and closures in HE, I fear. researchprofessional.com/0/rr/news/uk/r…

Solent Flour Mills, located in the Western Docks, was built in 1934. The entire building was demolished in 2020 and the site is now a car park. Baltic Flour Mills in Gateshead looks quite similar but instead of demolishing theirs, they turned it into an award-winning art centre.

I am very sad for all those now fearful for their jobs. Cardiff, Durham, Kent and UEA the latest institutions to join wave of sector redundancies: absolutely ridiculous, not as if fall in student numbers not predictable. Remember, people are the university!

I've said it before, I'll say it again: scrap REF now. Lecturers are losing their jobs whilst institutions are forced to employ admin staff to deal with REF complexities, it;s absurd. QR money should be divided up equally by FTE, end of. researchprofessional.com/0/rr/news/uk/r…

We pay extortionately high rents but none of this money is used to maintain and repair our homes. Instead, landlords get rich while we get sick. Tenants should have the right to withhold rent when we are forced to live in dangerous conditions.

Well done to REF 2029 - at a time of academic precarity you have just made rules more complex, requiring us to track staff's output once they leave our institution for another, via strange portability rules. Please make this the last REF!!! 2029.ref.ac.uk/news/cku-cop-g…
