Great to hear @alicealicealice talking #ecoacoustics on @BBCr4today. I'll be tuning in to wild radio from @KneppWilding when I can find the link! And after @InsectNav on Wednesday, that's two Be.AI people on radio this week @SussexEASy @SussexUni
Great work by Franziska Feist, Kiera Smith and Paul Graham! @InsectNav putting the Snacks into @SNAC_Sussex. Will he be observing our sandwich choices at the @SussexNeuro day today? @SussexUni theguardian.com/science/2023…

🗣️ JOINT STATEMENT BY CAMBRIDGE UNI AND CAMBRIDGE UCU CALLING FOR UCEA TO RESUME NEGOTIATIONS 🗣️
Thread 🧵

Spot the difference: on the left @UCEA1, on the right @ukhesa. And yes, that's the dodgy @USSPensions deficit from 2020 now being used to justify pay suppresion as well as pension cuts! Unbelievable. Shame on you, @rkjethwa. #ucuRISING
NEW: @UCEA1 is using dodgy maths to justify denying staff the pay rise they deserve
This is the same body that’s trying to enforce brutal pay deductions for our marking boycott
We’re not having any of it

Sussex UCU president @JoPawlik and finance & pensions officer Jackie Grant have today written this letter to our Vice Chancellor asking for action over UCEA’s misleading claims.
Feel free to use and adapt at your institution.

Wow! Great spot by @MikeOtsuka, who's found that the worst of @UniversitiesUK's claims over the scale of the cuts was repeated publicly during the statutory consultation. Come on, @TPRgovuk, you can't ignore this clear misinformation. @David_Fairs @JosephineCumbo @Barker4Kate
It also appears👇in this publicly linked UUK Q&A👇dated 15 November, which was two weeks after the start of the statutory consultation on these cuts. 3/
