Whether it reduces income depends on if Unis will replace EU with other international
students.
Top universities would trade some UK spots for EU, and admit more overseas from other nations. So revenue the same but better students, and harder for home students to in.

Tuition fees are likely to be a dealbreaker for the UK-EU talks, if the EU insists on £9.5k. You can’t ask struggling universities to take the hit. Or if you do, they’ll probably try not to recruit EU students. Awkward.

The interactive components in this tutorial are well done. This is a great aid for teaching data literacy. I’ll be adding it to my data science class.
This excellent interactive tutorial on misleading data visualizations explores the idea of a "counter chart" — the graph you draw in response to refute a misleading claims

1. Today the NIH director issued a new directive slashing overhead rates to 15%.
I want to provide some context on what that means and why it matters.

New paper. Really interesting outcome. We used experts to modify journal abstracts so make the outcome “incorrect”. Then tested both experts and AI LLMs to find the real results. Turns out AI LLMs beat the neuroscientists!

Utrecht University did not submit data to THE, & thus doesn’t appear in the World University Ranking 2024, because it deems the metrics invalid and sees them as promoting unhealthy competition. UU instead emphasises cooperation & open science and supports DORA.
