Screen time can damage under-twos’ development, landmark study suggests https://www.theguardian.com/society/2026/jun/27/screen-time-damage-under-twos-development-study #ChildrensHealth #DigitalMedia #Children #Smartphones #ParentsAndParenting #EarlyYearsEducation #Education #Society #LifeAndStyle #Media #Family #Technology #UniversityOfLeeds #LeedsTrinityUniversity #LoughboroughUniversity #AstonUniversityBirmingham #Research #UkNews

I helped others during the hardest days in Gaza, but now I cannot find someone to help me protect my own future.

But when I ask for guidance, a connection, or support to continue my studies, everything becomes silent.

Do people from Gaza have to lose everything before someone decides their dreams are worth saving?

I am not asking for pity. I am asking not to be left alone.

I am a verified student from Gaza 🇵🇸 who received an offer to study at the University of Leeds.

I cannot afford the tuition fees and I am looking for help creating a trusted fundraising campaign or finding educational support.

Please share or reach out if you can help.

I have enclosed my acceptance of the offer and can provide you with any further requirements.

I am looking for someone trustworthy who can help me create a donation/fundraising link to support my university tuition fees.

I received an opportunity to continue my studies abroad, but as a student from Gaza affected by the war, I am unable to secure the required funding alone.

Any help, guidance, or support would mean a lot. 🇵🇸

Here are the wonderful videos from the final of our University of Leeds Three Minute Thesis competition: masterpieces of succinct research communication.

The Three Minute Thesis (3MT®), created by The University of Queensland, challenges doctoral researchers to communicate their research in a clear and engaging way, using one static slide, no props, and in exactly 180 seconds.

People like to think they’re voting rationally but their choices have always involved emotions. I can’t remember the title of the module but I remember taking an elective on the topic at #UniversityOfLeeds

Architectural writer Alan Radford reflected on the refurbishment plans for the Barbican Centre in London, highlighting that the University of Leeds complex served as an early prototype for understanding how Brutalist architecture could evolve from monumental sculptural forms into functional, humanised spaces. #BrutalistBuildings #UniversityofLeeds

Breakthrough study finds supplement 'can delay menopause by years'

@engineeringstephen it's raining and I crashed into a parked car riding home drunk last night and slept most of the evening where I landed, before going home then staggering in this morning to deal with a bunch of people whining that one of the VAXstations got turned off yesterday by someone looking for a light switch and now their batch jobs which had been running for 6 weeks all have to be restarted, and did they write 2 extra minutes of code to save their state? Noooo course they didn't. So now they all hate me even though as I said, I was drunk and it looked like a light switch, so it was hardly my fault... And I blamed the cleaners anyway. I need another jug of coffee and 3 hours at the Fenton for dinner. Anyone coming or am I on my own?

Things I have heard students say this week: "When I'm in my 30s I hope I'm at my prime." "Well I was born in 2004 so..." "The Walking Dead? What's that?" "I think feminism has basically solved everything now so it's a bit outdated." #givemestrength #pgrlife #teaching #seminarleader #universityofleeds

I received an email last wk from a senior colleague inviting me to a seminar regarding teaching. It fell outside of my kiddo's nursery hrs so I replied explaining why I couldn't come. Colleague responded that she saw no reason why that should be barrier & actively encouraged me to come & bring my kiddo. I can't emphasise enough how immensely supportive & wonderful this was. I was so nervous going to the seminar, but everyone I've spoken to since then who was in attendance has told me that they didn't mind and it didn't impact on them negatively. THIS is what inclusive teaching & a supportive working environment looks like. THIS is what parent students NEED if having kids isn't going to be a barrier to education & career progression. Thank you

Someone just poked their head into our office asking where Student Support is. I've sent them to the Ziff, but if it's not there anymore then I have no idea. That building is a landmark. A one-stop-shop for everything. The changes the VC has made to campus are heart-breaking for so many. #SaveTheZiff #UniversityOfLeeds #LeedsUniversityUnion

There are staff/colleagues at the #UniversityOfLeeds who make being a #workingmum a breeze, and then there are others who don't. Shout out to the academic community who has supported and encouraged me since my return to work. As for the rest of you... My tribe is better than yours. ✊​ #momademia #AcademicChatter #academicmastodon #academicmom #phdparent #pgrparent

I have just spent an hour talking to “Falco” the AI bird that we now have to submit our IT requests through and I think I’ve lost the will to live. It wasn’t even that important but it became a point of principle that I had to go through with it and conquer Falco! 🫣😤😮‍💨 #universityofleeds

Amazing conference and awesome day. Thank you to Derek Edyvane and Alba Griffin for organising and inviting me to speak. Dinner at SARTOs was also delicious! Sad to not be able to attend part 2 tomorrow. Hope you all have an amazing and collaborative day though!

Hello lovely people! I've migrated from another server, so here's an #introduction for you all to kick things off. My name is Hope, I'm #queer, and my pronouns are she/her. I'm #UK based living in #Leeds. I'm a #postgraduate #researcher at the #UniversityOfLeeds residing in the #politics department (#POLIS). My thesis title is: Arts engagement practices as a pathway to #solidarity with people who have #refugee and #asylumseeker experiences. Aside from that, my interests include #camping, #walking, #reading (lots of #fantasy! Any #SamanthaShannon fans out there?), #DungeonsAndDragons, #CriticalRole, #humanrights (#downwiththemonarchy #eattherich #toriesout #RefugeesAreWelcome #transrightsarehumanrights #StandUpToRacism), #feminism, food (#foodislove!), and, saving the planet (#ExtinctionRebellion #ecowarrior). If any of that resonates with you then hit me up, I'd love to connect.
