Was great supervising Ludovic during his PhD, and I am pleased he has now joined @EPCCed as staff. His research brought the vertex centric model to a scale hitherto unobtainable, and set an unofficial world record for the largest vertex centric graph processed in shared memory ;)

We are meeting with UCEA this morning. The UCU negotiating team will be doing everything possible to move towards an agreement that is acceptable to our members. We will update you later today. Thank you for your continued support. #ucuRISING | @ucu

It's really shocking that this hasn't been resolved yet, and it's vital for UK science that this be resolved and the UK rejoin Horizon. Just look at the numbers - it's a devastating loss to UK science. theguardian.com/education/20…

More strike action should take place on sunny days, this is much more civilised than the usual freezing wind ☀️

The principal has, a week after it was reported that he has been given a 12% payrise, sent an email asking if staff engaged in the MAB would consider undermining it exchange for full pay, but no progress on the dispute itself.

Unfortunately, I can't make the @ucuedinburgh branch meeting tomorrow, but I hope someone tables a motion to explain to Peter Mathieson what he can do with his proposal. Ideally, in graphic detail.

Still furious about this. How fucking collossally out of touch do you have to be to take a 12% payrise when your staff are engaged in industrial action, and finance staff are having to manually process the pay deductions because of a failed IT procurement?!
Dr O T Brown@QuHPC

His payrise is equivalent to the entire annual salary of a senior postdoc. Spine point 36, the final UE07 normal grade point is £43,155.
