This is formal but here goes. The family of Sir Tim Brighouse are very sad to announce that Tim died in the John Radcliffe Hospital today after a short illness. He was a loving husband, father, grandfather and great grandfather and a towering figure in the word of education. 1/

“The real challenge of ChatGPT… is not how to police plagiarism more effectively. The question is whether plagiarism or cheating are even useful categories of pedagogic concern when the world is adopting generative AI at breakneck speed.”

Are too many people going to university?🤔
Our report shows that more than 11 million extra grads, in addition to the 15.3 million grads currently in the UK workforce, will be needed to fill jobs in the UK by 2035📈

It’s interesting to me that whenever Brexiters talk about the reasons we’ll supposedly never rejoin the EU, they always cite the Euro and Schengen. Two things we had opt outs on when we were members. Brexit was a bad idea and they know it.
Well-deserved recognition for one of the UK's intellectual powerhouses. It's a privilege to work with students and colleagues at UCL
We are delighted to share that UCL has been awarded the University of the Year 2024 by the Times and Sunday Times Good University Guide! 🎊

“Chancellor’s refusal to publish forecast contributed to stock market jitters and run on pound”
Just as so many people predicted it would. The whole context of the mini-budget was a glut of irresponsibly dangerous behaviour. theguardian.com/politics/202…
