My colleagues @pepspepper, @TcherOnAMission and @peterejkemp are working on a grant proposal that looks at which schools are and are not invited to take part in educational research studies. We will also examine how schools use research evidence to shape practice.

Just got my first does of the AZ vaccine. First time I've been on a @KingsCollegeLon campus for a year! And it's my second day of parental leave. Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in! #AstraZeneca

Great news that @GLL_UK is expected to take over @LewishamCouncil leisure centres - from what I've seen at @charltonlido they are a class outfit with the competence to organise swimming in a swimming pool!
Lewisham contracts @GLL_UK and cuts ties with @Fusion_LS Leisure centres and pools expected to undergo a phased reopening this Autumn newsshopper.co.uk/news/18672…

I know you are on a nine month contract but we still need an online only, in-person only, and hybrid course syllabi for your new course by June 1. Also, if the class is in-person, you need to make it available online for students who are worried about being sick.

The Sunday Times investigation into the government's catastrophic handling of the coronavirus is one of the most important things you've read. It's behind a paywall, so here's a thread with the key points. Make sure everyone sees it.
