When people talk about the idea that some universities must go under, there’s a certain tendency to behave as if these smaller local campuses are negligible- regrettable casualties perhaps but not ‘real’ universities. This report does a great job of illustrating why that’s wrong.
From the profound to the prosaic, the concept of 'kipple' has also entered our daily lexicon as the junk the children leave around the house and the futile battle against it. www.theguardian.com/books/2026/j...

Some brilliant funded PhD opportunities connecting AI, audience experience and creative technology.
Putting it out there that if you need a new UK passport now is a good time to do it. I submitted my application Monday. Passport due to be delivered today. Not expedited service. A bit sad to be saying goodbye to my red EU labelled passport though, issued just days before the Brexit referendum…
Brilliant to see this - so many opportunities for young people will be (re)opening up. May this be one step to reversing the damage done bu Brexit. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/d...

I love how this alleyway near my house has been so creatively animated. Lovely work with augmented reality from the Digital Story Company m.youtube.com/watch?v=D_hM...
This article is not just about the BL but also more widely value that we place on knowledge to an understanding of the role that SHAPE disciples play in innovation, what is shiny, who shouts loudest and how our cultural institutions are evolving.
Rather fitting and delightful that we are opening our Quantum Untangled exhibition @scigallerylon.bsky.social the day that the Nobel Prize in physics is announced for the weird and wonderful world of quantum dynamics. Come learn more with us! london.sciencegallery.com/quantum
This is brilliant!

In a nation full of bigotry, why should we engage with the work of musicians who are inspired by the English landscape? Is it possible to be critically nostalgic? kingsglobalaffairs.substack.com/p/listening-...
Exciting news - King's has secured an AHRC DFA in partnership with LSBU and Guildhall to train doctoral students in audience participation with creative tech. Big congrats to Sarah Atkinson who led our fearless team and look forward to helping this take shape! www.kcl.ac.uk/news/kings-a...
Another reminder: next Friday we're hosting an algorave at the Science Gallery London! It'll be a pretty chill one - softly lit, with a bar, and lots of sunlight - a pretty perfect way to see some of the best livecoders I know performing.

Interesting to read this @artscouncilengland.bsky.social report on the spillover impacts of publicly funded arts. Great to see their value, which is oft claimed too difficult to quantify, articulated so clearly in terms of social and economic benefits www.artscouncil.org.uk/spillover-im...
Anyone involved in university strategy should be looking at what Harvard has done with their website. Hopefully where they lead, others in the US will follow www.harvard.edu

1. As we face a series of great crises, every parent is confronted with the question of how much we tell our children. We don’t want to lie to them, but nor do we want to terrify them. Of course, there is no single answer. It depends in part on the child. But this thread suggests one approach. 🧵
Excellent provocation on the role of art and science in these challenging times...
