Just read Matt Smith's blog on a universal basic research income. I love the idea that academics could spend less time applying for money - with low odds of success - and more time doing, you know, research blog.royalhistsoc.org/2023/0…

But isn’t he just banging on about feelings and stuff?! (Spoiler: Genuinely excited to talk about this book with you when we go for lunch) x
When you read the bits about not pooing on the stairs and stuff I want you to remember the time Robert ended up having to give my L1 lecture for me and reading those quotes with a straight face
Matt, when have I ever said to you, “I respect your reading choices”, or “that book looks good but has a little too much about bodies in it”? This book has fart jokes!
It was a really fantastic thesis, a brilliant read. And lots of exciting publications in the pipeline too. Keep an eye on that @MsMenstruation - lots more to come@I suspect!
Yep. Teaching with you and Anastasia was the highlight and yet another email over lunch the lowlight.
I suspects it’s intersectional, both fat phobia and misogyny (I just couldn’t get both points in the character limit!). The diss focused primarily on fat phobia and it was AWFUL. People were treated so badly. And in eg UK you can’t go find another, less judgemental doctor :(
I just marked a super depressing dissertation analysing tweets by women on healthcare & fatness the conclusions of which were 1) medics treated fat women’s unplanned weigh loss as unproblematically good & 2) responded to everything else with ‘just lose weight’. Misogyny sucks.
