“Quits the Lords” isn’t the same giving up his peerage.

Mandelson is still a Lord.
Andrew is still a Duke.

They could give them up, they won’t.
They could be taken away, they won’t be.
Our unaccountable peerage system isn’t a joke, it’s an insult.

My gran who left school at 13 is in awe of academics. She thinks they are super humans, smarter than she can even imagine.

So anyway I have a hobby of sending her signs from unis to show just how smart y’all are.

Whether it is Musk’s Royal Society Fellowship or Andrew’s Duke of York title, organisations need to get better at life-honours being conditional.

There should be clear code of conduct rules and expulsion procedures for breaking them.

“It’s difficult” isn’t an excuse. Have robust processes.

How do you capture evaluation data?
What should you ask?
How do you use it for reporting?

I've trained over 50,000 researcher and I'm running a free webinar exploring these issues. Organised by CDICE. Open to UK research staff and PhD students.

The rail replacement bus was full. So they had to get a whole new one for the 5 of us who were left.

To Swansea! 🚌

Me on a train? Groundbreaking.
Will kick off the week in Swansea (exploring public engagement) then off to Oxford for sessions on presentation skills and evaluation.

Then I’ll have two weeks at home for filming and online delivery. I’m trying to batch it, few weeks away then a few at home.

Getting my Scottish folklore on with a visit to the Kelpies

(Kelpies are shape shifting spirits said to be found in lochs and waterways of Scotland - often seen as horses)

My favourite thing about the Belfast to Glasgow flight is that the cruise may only be 6 minutes long but easyJet still do a trolly service with food, perfume and watches. They race down that aisle.

Hello from Belfast. Day 10, and location 10.

Before dashing off from Cambridge I nipped in to Sedgwick museum. One of the few places to get my pins in-person how cute!

Renewing my kilt licence for another year. #BurnsNight.

Replaced my worn RSPB hoodie with the exact same design because it’s mega cute.
Got homophobic abuse in the street last time I wore it because men wearing pink is apparently a step too far.
