I did my entire PhD with a clock-in/clock-out mentality. I treated it like a 9-5 job. Where I had to work outside of those hours, I took the time back. I also had holidays. I submitted early & was awarded it without corrections. Any other attitude is rather toxic.
@seis_matters
So many of the responses apparently can’t conceive of a person who is excited about doing research and determined to be successful, even in exchange for some amount of personal enjoyment or free time. It is pretty hard to have a productive PhD with a clock-in clock-out mentality.

I just wrote to my MP to ask why people like me (a registered nurse of 14 years working in academia) can't volunteer to help in my spare time... I'm amazed there hasn't already been a call for volunteers. I really don't have the skills to work on wards, but I can vaccinate!

Maybe the UK should be a safe space for LGBT+ asylum seekers?
Anyway, saying Tories aren't welcome doesn't turn grindr into a dangerous place for them. They still have all their rights and privileges. They just now know, from multiple people, they're not welcome.

What annoys me most about the Manchester Student Halls lockdown the decision to base security staff there 24/7, but not any support staff... There's just "a phone number". It smacks of authoritarianism that should never occur, especially in liberal Universities.

When faced with questions of academic standards for PhD students and ECR, I often find myself asking "did the current professoriate do this when they were young?". The answer is invariably, no.
expecting PhD students to graduate with publications in ridiculously competitive journals that take forever to even reply to submissions is unrealistic and places a dangerous amount of pressure on students and seriously academia can just fuck off with that expectation

On a separate but related note (which isn't trying to criticize Mary Beard) I often feel like my decision to work a strict 35-40hr week disadvantages me. It's almost like people who work 70hrs are cheating their way to the top, and then set the expectations that high.
Can I ask academics of any level of seniority how many hours a week they reckon they work. My current estimate is over 100. I am a mug. But what is the norm in real life. ?

This is (reportedly) what the VC of

Anything above my contracted hours, I take back. That includes travel time undertaken for work (i.e. to conferences). Always have. Always will. It's a contract. I also take 100% of my annual leave, every year, without fail. It's not a "vexed issue".
Overtime is an increasingly vexed issue with some workers pushed to the brink by unreasonable unpaid work. But how many additional hours are too many? When should employees be paid for extra work?

Couldn't agree more. People have ALREADY purchased the drugs with the (almost inevitable) intent to ingest them. Pill testing offers a VERY powerful safety check to ensure people know what they're taking. Knowledge is power, and power can keep people alive.
In a society where drugs are illicit and users have no idea of the constituents of what they are taking pill testing is essential. The detractors say it encourages drug use. Untrue. It encourages a safer approach to drug taking which is happening anyway.

This really concerns me, yes we should have research about puberty blockers and their short, mid and long term effects, but research and "uncertainty" shouldn't be used by politicians to completely halt and then ration via research what was hitherto standard practice.
The NHS took the decision to stop the routine use of puberty blockers for gender incongruence/dysphoria in children.
They are establishing a clinical trial with NIHR to ensure the effects of puberty blockers can be safely monitored and provide the evidence we need.

For what it's worth, my Grandad was an academic, and he said the only thing that ever resolved disputes was a marking boycott. Solidarity (and donations to the strike fund) to all those involved.
So, here's the thing. My pay has been stopped because I am taking part in a legally-sanctioned assessment boycott. Because I won't mark 30 exam scripts, I am losing ALL of my pay. I should, apparently, do the remaining 98% of my job 'voluntarily'.
