Great teach out this morning. Yoga means union: union of mind and body and UCU and it’s members. Even more ready for the fight. @ucu @ucuedinburgh #ucuRSING

Learners at @DunsPrimary and @ChirnsideSchool had a great time yesterday making Microbit Data Monsters that can live around the school and show the temperature in different places #microbitsonthemove @data_schools @microbit_edu @jkanwal @InfAtEd @SICSA_Scotland

Senior management at @EdinburghUni should be hanging their heads in shame. What a way to treat anybody. They need to break their silence and take action on this now!

We're organising a meeting to discuss issues facing PGRs and GTAs across the University, including the non-payment of the £500 uplift, lack of adequate pay for teaching preparation, difficulties caused by the ongoing cost of living crisis, and so on. 1/2

NASA has a huge catalog of creepy sonifications — data represented in audio form. Listen to these scary sounds collected by spacecraft exploring the solar system and beyond and ask our experts questions live. teapaw.org/i/spaces/1eaKbrDonQkKX

A typical European car is parked 92% of the time. It spends 1/5th of its driving time looking for parking. Its 5 seats only move 1.5 people. 86% of its fuel never reaches the wheels, & most of the energy that does, moves the car, not people. Sound efficient? HT @circulareconomy

Dear friends and colleagues, This is a call for international conference organizers to think twice before organizing any conference in Western Europe/North America, where many academics from the Global South (GS) need a visa to enter. (1)

This right here! 👇 Not just why would we want to, some simply don't have the luxury of being able to afford to. EDI committees take note...working conditions are an EDI issue!! #UCU #AcademicTwitter
Replying to @AstroJake
People talk all the time about diversity and getting diverse people into the academy but why would minorities and marginalised people want to put themselves through an even tougher path in life. Finding a safe house share is SO HARD for marginalised people.

Please RT. PhD students funded by @UKRI_News face a cash crisis. They are working full-time, yet earning less than living wage. With the rising cost of living and increasing pressure to deliver high quality research that benefits society, something needs to change. THREAD (1/10)
