My exclusive for Observer today: For 1st time FOI data from Oxford colleges shows majority of tutorials taught by early career academics struggling to manage on low pay & ‘Deliveroo-style’ contracts. FT profs only taught a third of tutorials last year. theguardian.com/education/20…
Really chuffed to have won this alongside Maisie! @oxfordgeography @MansfieldOxford

I prepared and defended my master's thesis amidst the sounds of bombing and terror during the Gaza war, to send a message to the world that we in Gaza deserve life and are waiting for the sun of freedom. We are waiting for the world to see us 💔.

1114 since the Taliban banned teenage girls from school. Afghanistan is the only country in the world to have this ban and the world stays mainly muted. #LetAfghanGirlsLearn

📣BREAKING: The Government has announced today that the Afghan Citizens Resettlement Scheme now allows for family reunification for those separated during the 2021 Kabul evacuation.
This is great news and will be life-changing for all those who have been separated.

The UK public were asked by @risj_oxford 'how trustworthy would you say news from the following brands are?'
Here's what they said ⬇️
ALT An infographic titled "Brand Trust Measurement Opinion," displaying trust ratings for various news brands. The chart is designed with three columns labeled Trusted, Neither, and Don't Trust. For each listed news brand, percentages are provided to denote public trust levels. Brands mentioned include BBC News, Channel 4 News, Daily Mail, Daily Telegraph, Financial Times, The Guardian, ITV News, Sky News, The Sun, and The Times. The survey also notes that 44% of respondents based their trust score on an overall opinion while 56% based it on objective judgment. Icons of a face (for subjective assessment) and a pie chart (for objective assessment) supplement this note at the bottom right. All numbers and percentages are clearly listed alongside the respective categories.

To all our women's football team connections on X, please would you be kind enough to fill in this form regarding women's football kits.
It would be a huge help to her.
@cardiffdragons @buryfc_women @ManchesterLaces

Update o'clock! ⏰ ⚽ ⚽ ⚽
If you're interested in women's football kits, and want to answer a few short questions about your experiences with them (all optional!), then please fill out and share this Google Form. 1/
You can answer totally anonymously, only answer 1 question, or write me long and intriguing essays on your hatred of too-short-shorts-which-cause-chafing-and-mean-you-constantly-have-to-pull-them-down (which I'll very happily read, and agree with, btw). 2/
