Here's a ghostly sound for Hallowe'en. It sounds like it goes up, but (if you can bear to re-listen) it ends up lower than it started. I'm calling it an Escher tone—a variant on the classic Shepard tone. (The topic of this morning's class was pitch perception!) @QUBMusicteam

A video message from President and @QUBVChancellor, Professor Ian Greer, providing an important update on the Marking & Assessment Boycott. "Firstly, let me reassure you that the vast majority of Queen's students will graduate as normal this summer... We have managed to reduce the number of students who will not be able to graduate down to less than 10. "I want to assure all of our students that we are doing everything we can to support you during this difficult time and we will provide further updates in due course." @QUBVChancellor If you need advice or support, we are here to help via: 🔴Helpline: 028 9097 2828 🔴Email: [email protected] 🔴Updates & Frequently Asked Questions: ow.ly/I8mA50OQ9SR
