More bad news. The scythe is working its terrible way through HE History depts due to systemic government & university management failure. The removal of the cap ... the cap. I used to be Lincoln's History research external way back, & hugely impressed how they grew & innovated.

Incredibly sad as we face 6 more redundancies in History at UoLincoln on top of the loss of 3 valued colleagues (via voluntary severance). We've always punched above our weight in terms of research + teaching and this is such a sad comment on all of that work and UK HE overall.

Huge thanks for @shaggyudal for helping us share his story. The @CricketersTrust helps so many current and past members at times of need. The players give so much to the game, we all enjoy watching. For many life can be cruel at times, but we must be there for them if needed.

(1/3)The reality of drumming for years even as a hobby is often damage to hearing. My parents would nag me to wear safe headphones when drumming to protect me from the noise, but I often opted for rubbish foam ear plugs or even nothing when gigging in pubs & clubs etc…

As part of the practical application of the social & cultural approach the students learnt about occupations associated with #Sikhism by The Turban Academy. Including how to wrap turbans as personal care & spirituality. @theRCOT @OTnews @DisruptOT @UWE_AHP @UWEBristol
