    It's a small request, but if you are not striking please observe the digital picket. This means not sharing research news, calls for papers, eventbrite links etc. These can wait until Monday Please do not cross the digital picket line #UCUStrikes #OneOfUsAllOfUs

    I am absolutely delighted to be able to announce that we secured a large grant from @EPSRC to improve the working conditions of disabled researchers. I can't say how excited I am to be leading on this! epsrc.ukri.org/newsevents/new…

    I've known Professor Alison Phipps for many years. Alison was the first person to encourage me to take on leadership roles. One of the best feminists I have had the pleasure of working with. I stand in solidarity with Alison.
