Hey all, anyone work in #prisons, want these for your communities but don't have them yet? See here for details on how to get your hands on a set to keep people occupied (possibly particularly useful for anyone overseeing seg?) insidetime.org/tooled-up/

The penny finally dropped. If I don't mark as part of the legal @ULivUCU2 action, but do all my other duties, I will get paid £0. At the same time, my employer is charging £5K per month to research councils for my salary contribution. That's a sweet deal there 👌... 👇

I have been misled into thinking that a huge backlog of NHS work was created by Covid-19. Looking at this @BBCNews graph - there is a very small Covid effect - but the current record waiting list is in fact simply a long term trend since the bankers took all of our money in 2009.

I have just sent the letter below to our VC @NCanagarajah and Head of College at @uniofleicester as I don't share their vision of "shaping for excellence". We want a better vision for our University and all Universities across the UK @leicesterucu @ucu #BoycottLeicester

Please share for wider reach.

A thread about grant success/ failure, & the culture of grant capture in UK HE. I've just been awarded a 12-month Leverhulme Fellowship for the next academic year. This will let me extend my current leave & finish writing my book, Against Affect. I am, obviously, v happy! 1/10

Friends at Leicester in departments that are not *directly* affected by the redundancy threats: read this important thread about the LLI team & write a letter supporting this team from your dept/school
A thread on the Education Services revised proposal @leicesterucu
We have had small wins. Note the biggest impact has been from Schools arguing for us.
- acknowledgement that there needs to be more emphasis on pedagogy
- there must be support for academic practice and CPD 1/n

As well as doing @MadCovid I also work in academia and am a UCU NEC rep. What's happening to my colleagues at the Leicester, under threat of redundancy, is destroying their mental health. I'm sorry if anyone else out there has been affected by redundancies during COVID. #AskSaiqa
1/ Jan 18, 1st day of term, 145 @UniofLeicester staff told they're at risk of redundancy. Not great for mental health. Morale & wellbeing plummeted. @NCanagarajah doesn't care. Let's reflect on 2 months' tireless work to defend livelihoods & plug the care gap #EveryoneIsImpacted

When I was in an induced coma, night after night nurses watched over me to see that I didn't need emergency attention. In the morning they wrote me a 'letter' which went into a 'Patient Diary' which they gave me when I came round. This is only worth 1%?

We are supporting our colleagues in Leicester and are calling on the University of Leicester to reverse their decision to close the Mechanisms of Animal Behavior and Systems Neuroscience groups. Please RT and join us by signing the letter: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F… #AcademicTwitter

@uniofleicester management has decided to axe Neuroscience. Not part of bench to bedside they say.... I have a few (psychiatrist) neuroscientist and psychology friends who might want to have a word. Please sign our public letter.

"The threat of redundancies must be removed. Measures taken now that undercut support for prof services & academic staff will have long-term implications for the sustainability of @uniofleicester as a centre of excellence for research & learning." @ucu members in @LawLeicester

17 colleagues in my dept are at risk of redundancy as the University has decided that research in judgment & decision making and neuroscience doesn't fit with their ‘bench to bedside’ research strategy. Please sign this letter in support tinyurl.com/SaveNPB-UoL
