Our new publication highlights how #Brexit impacts UK #HigherEducation and research, including declining connectedness and appeal, falling numbers of EU students & staff, the end of Erasmus, and loss of talent and funding, with many research leaders leaving the UK. OA!
Must read new @cssjournal1 paper by @LudoHighman, Simon Marginson & @vpapat: Higher education and research: multiple negative effects and new no opportunities after Brexit. tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.…

The UK no longer follows the EU cutting the safe level of BPA (bisphenol A - linked to various health concerns) in food packaging. The safe level of BPA in plastic containers in the UK is now 20 000 TIMES HIGHER than in Europe @BBCPanorama

An outstanding viva on a fascinating topic! It was bittersweet, as many student experiences shared were profoundly sad. Visa application struggles often go unnoticed, but this thesis shed light on their significance. Let's work towards a more empathetic and inclusive future.
Congratulations to our wonderful Aisling Tiernan on her successful PhD viva! 'Strange encounters in the UK higher education: understanding the experiences of visa required international students' @kellycoate @vpapat @DrRebWebb @LouiseMorley3 @EmilyDanvers
Excited to have contributed to @timeshighered and @paddywjack's article on the drop in visa applications for researchers. Post-Brexit, the UK's reduced centrality in research networks and funding is affecting its appeal to international researchers.

And that explains one of the strengths of Horizon. Other than all the collaboration and kitemarking, it also is a device for locking in a stable amount of science and research spend over time. Now we are left to the vagaries of the next SR, and this means confidence can ebb

Tucked away in the innocuous sounding Central Government Supply Estimates 22/23 is this note on p300 that the @hmtreasury has just clawed back £1.6bn from the new @SciTechgovuk’s budget for science and research - specifically the fee for joining the Horizon Europe programme
