Universities β€˜asking how much research they can afford to do’ - Research Professional News Crisis in universities’ finances spells β€œdifficult decisions about research activity they can continue”, leaders warn

Universities starting to ask how much research they can actually afford to do as the financial crisis in the sector deepens. Certainly, it is beginning to seem likely that 'unfunded' research may no longer be possible.

The 3.6.0 version has had a few small improvements in the code. Especially, when saving or recompiling a survey, the scroll position of the window is saved. Also, a new color scheme for surveys has been added. Let us know if you have any issues with these things.

What a wonderful afternoon celebrating the vibrant connection between researchers, students, and the public!
We premiered 'Like Yesterday' - a short film where older participants from University of Third Age shared their childhood #memories through #movement. Their reflections deeply moved us.

David Smith builds self-assembling nanogels for regenerative medicine This supramolecular chemist’s personal experience drives him to build scaffolds for tissue engineering

A few years ago, @cenmag.bsky.social named me an LGBT+ Chemistry Trailblazer. In my current life as a single parent scientist, having a child with additional needs, I don't have capacity for any personal relationships. I increasingly wonder how relevant the 'G' label is.

Open-concept working spaces with hot-desks are a neurodivergent nightmare. Thankful for noise-cancelling headphones that got me through uni placement. Another fine example of a lack of consultation with our community. Little wonder we're resisting going 'back to the office'. #neurodivergent
