Rejoining EU Horizon is only half the job done. Now please stop asking EU-area scientists for visas, leave to remain applications, NHS surcharges, ATAS clearances, etc. Its a bigger barrier to research progress and is a huge waste of everyone’s time.

@EdinburghUni @mary_senior_ This morning, the University informed us they would be sharing a version of the statement that omitted reference to these three asks. The message sent by the VC contains a substantial portion of material drafted by UCUE. 6/9

I can't believe the state of things. Edinburgh & other Scottish unis prefer to devalue their degrees & reputation, & damage student's futures before resolving pay disputes with teaching staff. I'm sad, furious, & in denial as @EdinburghUni alumna, PhD student and staff member

43k is basically what I earn, give or take a few grand. Surprised and delighted to discover that our VC is doing the work of almost 10 Rebeccas (sans the childcare and domestic labour) confused as to where he's finding the time!!
