A 'UEA scraps creative writing' story is taking hold. That's not what's happening. UEA Humanities are facing redundancies across many areas that feed a brilliant writing course (including Literature). That's *worse* in the long term because it's a culture / a mindset / a library.

We've published our new plan to take forward the @TechsCommit and @RDConcordat. Take a look if you want to see how we plan on supporting postdocs, technicians and the huge range of other roles needed for R&I.
Today we published our People and Teams action plan. It reviews our progress against the Researcher Development Concordat & Technician Commitment and outlines our plans to continue supporting all roles and contributors necessary for a thriving R&I system: orlo.uk/E0Be8
ALT Melanie Welham, UKRI Executive Champion for People, Culture & Talent, says: “This revised plan reinforces UKRI’s commitment and ambitions for the Researcher Development Concordat and Technician Commitment. I’d like to thank our communities for their essential input to this, and their broader ongoing engagement with our People, Culture and Talent portfolio. "Taken alongside the recent announcement of a new Institute for Technology Skills and Strategy, this demonstrates significant progress in ensuring the huge range of roles which contribute to the delivery of UKRI investments are recognised and valued.”

Women who are single parents are more likely to be living in poverty & are among the hardest hit by the cost of living crisis.
We need investment in social security, an expansion of childcare & action to lift single parents out of low-paid work & poverty.#StandWithSingleParents

Rishi Sunak is not on the side of working people.
After 12 years of failure, the Tories are still putting their Party before this country.
It's time to let the public have their say in a general election.

Perhaps those who have attended #vitae22 and #REDSconf2022 could help us to share this call for participants for further work in understanding the challenges that academics in STEM face at different career stages?
