Hi @PhilBentleyCEO,
The fantastic Mitie team at St George’s are balloting about going on strike because Mitie want to cut their hours and jobs. The opposite was promised when the contract was awarded.
Will you meet with me and @GMBSouthern ASAP to discuss?
Thanks,
Rosena

I'm excited that we will be looking at climate change as our "big problem" in @stsucl next year, showcasing how STS helps us understand the world. Already on our open day today we've had some great thoughts from potential students on "can science solve climate change?".
We're at the @ucl open day, asking the #stsbigproblems - Can Science solve climate change? Come and see us in the north cloisters!

Ph.D students suffer from anxiety and #depression at rates that far exceed the general population. A recent study suggests that mindfulness interventions—a form of exercise for the brain—may help. @ScienceCareers fcld.ly/1wg7ya4

The drugs don't work: my @stsucl @turinginst piece in @nature today on how AI in @NHSuk could drive inequality and why we need to think differently and look at ethics on multiple scales - including societal.
New @Nature comment by @melaniesmallman (Turing & @UCL) looks at @NHSuk Code of Conduct for #AI in #healthcare: "People worry about the kind of world that tech will create, not just about harm to individuals. Our policies must show similar sophistication." go.nature.com/2Tun8uu

Asking right questions is going to be so critical for the future of medicine. Stick the wrong questions & assumptions into artificial intelligence & it risks becoming artificial stupidity, self-perpetuating & hidden in an impenetrable black box.@PaulLikeMe @EricTopol

The @UniofExeter twitter has pointed out to me that I erroneously use ‘salary’ here. The Exeter VC does not receive this grotesquely high sum as a salary, rather it is made up of component bits, including an actual grotesquely high salary, pension contributions, bonus payment etc

Just took the dog for a swim. Tied a breeze-block to its collar. Nice and heavy. Likely to improve its traction.
Just re-tabled my amendment to the Withdrawal Agreement. It reads; <At end add: ‘but insists on an expiry date to the backstop.’>
Short and sweet. Likely to appeal to moderate MPs who just want #Brexit sorted.

You, a complete and total fool, no idea about how anything works: er you can't take pictures of abstract objects that's ridiculous.

“Tomorrow, however, I’ll get back to slagging almost all of you off and saying that you’re collectively brainwashing the young, don’t care about their mental health, and offering poor quality education”, the minister continued
‘While the public focuses on just a few institutions, we are here to recognise the many excellent universities in the UK. It’s too easy to assume that expansion reduces value,’ says @SamGyimah #THEAwards
