Feeling all kind of furious & frustrated - PG students from Uni of Amsterdam whom we invited to

to build research collaborations & share practice have been denied visas by UK - Both embarrassing & horrifying to have students treated this way

So today was my inaugural talk for my professorship, so grateful to all those who made it possible but also those who came today to mark the event - as you can see it was a happy day
Plans to grant EU nationals only three years of leave to remain in the UK in the event of a no-deal Brexit could hit recruitment to longer university courses such as medicine,

- an academic who puts the open in science, the intellect into intellectual, the most inclusive & supportive of colleagues & critical friends and most excellent pub company 🤓💥
44 was a tough year on lots of levels so decided to baptise 45 with a bracing birthday swim in North Sea, I may have lost some toes to the cold in this figary but feel amazing

In recent years I have felt inept and powerless in trying to help support some students through their darkest times, really welcome the publication of this book by

in hopefully helping me feel better informed and better equipped moving forward
Really grateful for the very warm welcome I have received from my new academic home. It is a very exciting time of change and growth for psychology at MIC and I am looking forward to building on the already immense strengths of the Department & College in both research & teaching
Congratulations to Professor Niamh Stack, who was recently appointed as the Head of Psychology at MIC.
A Clare native, Professor Stack joins us after two decades at Scotland's University of Glasgow.

Congratulations to Niamh Stack

on her promotion to Professor. I can’t imagine a better colleague. Her dedication to students and her commitment to constantly improving how we do and teach psychology is a constant inspiration. Plus she’s a fab weightlifting partner.

Some nice lecture & study nook ideas for new

McCune Smith Teaching hub from our visit to Beijing Normal University - all lecture theatres should include a slide for quick lecture exits
I will never forget the doctor who carelessly described my ‘withered ovaries’ in the middle of an examination with little thought to how heartbreaking those words would be - we still need to get so much better dealing with fertility & infertility
This is the happy face of the doubly jabbed 💉💉🍾🍾

So
@BBCNews
your news is evidence based right? Would it help you evidence how open Unis are if every academic sent you 1000 emails sent, very full long diary days of online meetings, pivot policy docs written & regs changed, marking & the Covid research done over past 12 weeks?
Students must decide by the middle of next week whether or not to accept university offers for the new academic year
But will UK universities open in September?
Really saddened to read responses to this post. The uni knows there is still work for us to do as an institution but as one of the academics who today asked for the university to use our platform to voice solidarity & stand against racism I am grateful for this public statement
UofG is appalled at the brutal killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis. We stand together with the
@gusrc
and the entire UofG community in condemning all forms of racism and discrimination. We are committed to promoting equality across our community.

hurrah! Cheers to all our staff, academic, admin and IT and students on supporting each other through - it’s been a year but couldn’t have gotten through it with a better bunch - Slàinte Mhaith 🥂
Exams don’t measure how good a friend your kid is, how interested they are in their hobby, how hard they practise at sport, how they go & keep Granny company on a Monday, how kind and generous they are. Exams are a snapshot of a moment in time, that’s all.
So glad to get a quick hello today with the man who always puts the ‘special’ into occasion - thanks so much for the extra favours and kindnesses over the years
