Thoroughly enjoyed my day return to @UofGlasgow #UKCOTS25! Another city with stunning architecture.

Interested in external training courses on biological data analysis (and more!)? Follow @pr_stats! I've taught on their courses and sent students to them. I'd highly recommend! I attended my first spatial analysis course with them back in 2016. Website: prstats.org/

Thanks to The Tab for covering much of our campaigns over the last few months. Just to clarify: we have ruled out industrial action *during the current IA mandate period*, which runs until the end of September 2025, not the end of the calendar year. thetab.com/2025/05/01/cardif…

Fantastic news for Cardiff University Meanwhile, Cardiff Metropolitan University continues to threaten staff with compulsory redundancy. @CardiffUCU @CymruUCU @DrJoGrady
Planned industrial action at Cardiff University has been called off after its management committed to not making any compulsory redundancies this year. @JulietteRowsell reports timeshighereducation.com/new…

This from Radio Wales is the most comprehensive take yet on @cardiffucu’s win in the @CardiffUni dispute. Worth a listen if you’re staff, a student, a trade unionist, or are just interested in the detail of what’s (& what fights remain ahead). @UCU ✊🔥💖 youtu.be/l3hef_sm6SM?si=TKy4…

Replying to @BBCWalesNews
@BBCWalesNews with excellent, in-depth coverage of my union branch’s bittersweet industrial relations victory in defence of @CardiffUni jobs. I’m interviewed for @cardiffucu, & also some of our *amazing* students, about the need to keep fighting. ✊ @ucu youtu.be/imSu7dkCjMU?si=2ZwY…

Alongside herculean efforts of members & non-members -including our fab sister unions @unitetheunion & @UNISONinHE- to persuade UEB, what tipped the balance was a threat of industrial action. On #MayDay2025 we remember & reassert the power of organised labour to change lives ❤️🖤

We've called off planned industrial action thanks to an agreement to rule out compulsory redundancies for this year. This is not the end of the fight. I and over 1,200 of my colleagues remain "in scope", but we at least wont be served any compulsory redundancy papers this year.
We have cancelled our first strike day (1st May) against compulsory redundancies to allow for ACAS-chaired talks with management. All other actions will continue unless our members are satisfied with the outcome of these talks. Read more here 👇 walesonline.co.uk/news/educa…

This is a small win and it's not the end of the story. We'll continue to build an even stronger mandate and to press upon management both the route to a better future for our University - including permanently ruling out CRs - and the strength of our Unions here at Cardiff.

Very pleased to share the news that I'm now a Lifeboat Coxswain at @SevernRescue. This comes after 3 years of training with SARA Newport, and ~5 years of prior service as Crew with @TheMumblesRNLI @RNLI.
