There’s one easy thing that universities could do to make their PhD graduates more successful and employable. Just give them online library access rights for a few years/life. It seems like such an easy win. There’s probably a tech reason why it would be unmanageable but…

I appreciate the last Thursday before Christmas is going to be busy for Office of the Chief Executive NHSScotland but a 10+ hour wait for an ambulance is insane. #brokenNHS #SCOTLAND The SNP Jenni Minto MSP what is going to be done?

Why can't I speak to my elderly mum on Christmas Day (or any day) Office of the Chief Executive NHSScotland ??? She has no mobile phone and no other family. Cut off from friends and family at Christmas. Ward 22 at RAH - if anyone cares. No portable phone, no iPad. No way to contact her 😢 Jenni Minto MSP

FT tomorrow reports on how Musk ‘may be the first tech leader to fall down the rabbit hole of radicalism by his own product.’

Not wanting to be outdone, Lynk Taxi just charged me €24.20 to the airport from Marino 🤯 A 15 minute journey for 1 person and 1 small bag. Cost more than my flight! #taxigate #ripoffIreland

Cardiff university to cut nursing courses. Meanwhile England and Wales is around 50,000 nurses short. We presently recruit them from countries so poor, that the World Health Organisation tells us off for undermining their health systems. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

A 3hr lecture planned this morning with around 150 Cardiff University Nursing 2nd yrs. They were upset, angry, bewildered…but kind, concerned & caring towards lecturing staff. These lovely, lovely students even bought me some chocolates & a cake. They do not deserve this!

A disgrace and surely the result of questionable financial decisions over many years Sending solidarity to friends & former colleagues and their students, forced to endure uncertainty about their futures only days into a new term at #CardiffUniversity bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…
