Principal of University of Edinburgh, Sir Peter Mathieson flummoxed when asked his pay. A 7.5% pay rise. Earning more than the Scottish First Minister and UK PM combined but still "not quite sure" Meanwhile staff face Β£140m cuts @ucuedinburgh @UCUScotland #ucu #StopTheCuts

So sad to see my mum’s operation @StMarysGenHosp cancelled for the third time in a row. At 89, she is finding it hard -she had the accident almost three weeks ago and in that time has been laying in a hospital bed unable to walk. 1/2

Apparently these operations can only be done on Mondays due to shortage of staff and operating theatre space. So another weeks wait lays ahead. I cannot fault the incredible nursing staff there - they are super amazing but it is demoralising for us all to see my poor mum suffer.

Exactly - this is at the heart of our active essay writing approach at @SussexUni
We have ruined essay writing by forgetting about it as a process and treating it as a product. It's time to rethink writing (and how we teach it) and, ironically, the challenge of AI can help, writes @AlicjaSyska blogs.lse.ac.uk/highereducat…
