Worth remembering that this government is subsidising a theme park to the tune of £1.3bn. An amount that would go some way to preserving the intellectual and economic footprint of our universities.

James Woodfield

According to the parliamentary annual report & accounts for the 2025/26 financial year, the cost of subsidising the bars in the House of Commons alone was around £5.8 million. Meanwhile, to save £3 million less than that, Jodrell Bank is being defunded and shut down. share.google/MRHIvCsCsKoc...

To the reviewer and AE who were *adamant* that we should delete these watercolors: FYI im getting loads of compliments on them. Everyone says we need more art like that in peer-reviewed pubs.

This came out in the middle of the move to Cleveland, but my work on the under-appreciated starling genus Aplonis is out in MPE. These understated island-loving starlings hide plenty of biogeographic intrigue and taxonomic complexity: doi.org/10.1016/j.ym... 🧵

PSA: your avocado is trans. What an absolutely wonderfully fantastical world we live in!

Avocados come in 2 varieties - A-types start each day female and switch to male midday. B-types do the reverse. In work just published from the last chapter of my PhD, we show this system evolved 40+million yrs ago and is regulated by alleles of 1 transcription factor www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

Why can't we be a global leader in something actually interesting that's going to help the world, rather than mostly making it worse? I don't hate AI, but I really do hate the obsession with it. There is so much that the money could have gone to, where we have an actual shot at being world leaders.

Kirsty Grainger

Earlier this year UKRI launched a funding call to invest £40M in ONE AI lab. www.ukri.org/opportunity/... For some unknown reason they decided to fund TWO AI labs at the cost of £60M. An extra £20M. Just found. That's the equivalent of 7 more years of Jodrell Bank. www.ukri.org/news/ukri-la...
