  24. #Glasgow University turns 572 years old today, founded 7th January, 1451, so to mark its birthday, here is one of my favourite spots in that part of the city, the gorgeous Cloisters flickr.com/photos/woolamaloo_g

    The fourth oldest university in the English-language world (behind Oxford, Cambridge & Saint Andrews).

  26. I am so happy that from September my son will be studying #sociology & #Spanish at #GlasgowUniversity, where the wonderful LB now heads the dept. of sociology 😁

    He's reading Mills' #SociologicalImagination & is fired up in a way I have never seen🔥

    The #Covid years robbed him & his peers of so much and UK politicians are digging the hole of austerity & greed even deeper but now he & his lovely friends have found their energy, are bursting with creativity & hope, are so bright & perceptive ❤️💪🏽

  27. Congratulations to our Director, Professor Sheila Rowan, on receiving the first Philip Leverhulme Lifetime Achievement Award from the Leverhulme Trust.

    This recognises her outstanding research in gravitational physics & unstinting contribution to the physics community.
