Although this incident happened in 2018, I only learned about it in a recent issue of the TLS.

If the case is fully and accurately reported, it represents an absurd and repressive abuse of authority by a university which, alas, can only fuel the hostility towards higher education currently stoked by Reform and others on the right.

Thank you, Ruth.
I will read it.

From all I have been reading, my aggregate "gut feeling" is that we still underestimate the rate of #ClimateChange, as well as the interconnectedness of #TriggerPoints:

“Triggering one tipping point 👉could trigger another in a kind of dangerous domino effect👈,” says #TimLenton at the #UniversityOfExeter in the #UK, the report’s lead author.

Ruth,

not being a #Climate scientist, I know a bit of controlling and communications strategy.

I think, the issue of the highly complex issue of the interdependent #TippingPoints that #TimLenton at the #UniversityOfExeter summarized* ought to be visualized and controlled (in a management-accounting meaning) for the educated public and politicians.

I believe that a variation of the widely used...

#Introduction cont... I'm a #WellcomeTrust and #RoyalSociety research fellow and Assoc Prof at the #UniversityOfExeter in #Cornwall. This means I am v lucky to live near the beach in a beautiful part of the UK (sorry in advance for the photos 😉 ).

I'm keen on #responsible #metrics and implementing #DORA (see https://ecologyconservation.exeter.ac.uk/#tab7).

Looking forward to creating global tea room atmosphere here to chat and discuss science!
