Just got our annual nursery fee hike of 12.6%. Jan23-April25 day rate has increased by >39%. Even with 30 'free hours', weekly saving on full-time place compared to Jan 23 (no 'free hours') just £35. Why isn't this bigger news? #Childcare #ChildcareCosts bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cd64…

Excited about @RunYorkshire festival in just under a month, but confused why the festival magazine last year's champions section only mentions men. Did no women run 2022? #WomenInSports #SportsWomen

Whilst @RunYorkshire said this was 'a clear mistake' it hasn't been rectified in the magazine emailed to participants again yesterday. Why are you only celebrating past male champions? And in an event that is part of the legacy of an incredible woman? @Womensrunninguk @runforall

So @10DowningStreet had 'no idea' of the connection between his government's childcare policy and a childminding agency his wife had shares in. Funny, cause it was obvious to the rest of us. Yet there's no further action. How is this not bigger news? bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-6…

Soil & peat scientist vacancy. DEFRA is hiring a senior #soil and peat scientist. See the advert here tinyurl.com/yeytx34h This is a fantastic opportunity to work at the science policy interface, ensuring policy is based on the best available science and evidence.

Great talk @torijanes using digital soil mapping for #soil #carbon prediction in U.K. Mind the gap: are we missing covariates, are we missing processes, how can we best represent bimodal populations? (more training data required is always a given)

The room size needs to be increased to accommodate the number of people attending then. It's very expensive to be here, so to then be unable to listen to talks... Frustrating #EGU23 #EGU23

This thread describes changes to USS pensions. Payments into the scheme before April 2022 are all good, but if most of your payments are after this date (younger staff) then you're significantly worse off. That's one of the reasons why today I'm on strike. #UCUstrike #ucuRISING

I want to emphasise the scale of the cuts to the USS pension (broadly the pension scheme for the ‘pre-92’ University sector) and why this is key to the current dispute with employers. This is going to take a couple of threads. This first thread is on the cuts. #USSmess #UCURising
