Such a privilege to have worked with the very best of colleagues and students 🙏 but it really is time to go! 🥺💃❤️
A bittersweet day in @uwslangstesol yesterday, as we said goodbye to @drallanmd, who is retiring after years of stellar service. Her @UniWestScotland colleagues wish her all the very best in her future endeavours.

I'm absolutely delighted to announce that Paula Barrowcliffe has met the requirements of the PhD award and can now, and always, be known as Dr Barrocliffe 😉💃
Such a pleasure to have worked with you, @FernandoLeonSolis and Lisa McAuliffe throughout! 🥰
Such a privilege to be the mother of this lovely human being. Lucy, I know how hard you've worked, while dealing with such visceral loss, over the past few years. I couldn't be happier for you...and just a little proud, too 🥰
Now celebrate 🥂

Why can't she host her own brother in her own home? This is deeply unfair

Spent this morning with two International PhD students, rightly concerned about the rise, to £3870, in the monthly salary required of them to access a post-graduation work visa. Could any young, aspiring academic hope to earn this? Can this be right? If so I am just speechless.
This is wonderful news, Yvonne! At last ❣️

Over the moon to see Skin Grows Over by @LEAllansGhost listed on the Stoker Preliminary Ballot! It’s fantastic to see this book getting the recognition it deserves.

Delighted; well done, Chris! 🥰
Huge congratulations to my son Christopher who has just been awarded a Distinction in his Master of Science degree @UofGlasgow
He started work for his PhD two weeks ago and I'm sure that his supervisors will be pleased to hear this result!

Just so, so sorry to hear this. Loved her work. RIP, magnificent woman x
Exactly. A phrasal verb exists for clarity, so why use just a bit of it, 'passed'? Am all in favour of language evolving, but 'passed' is just...inaccurate, inexact, open to a different interpretation. When I 'go' (yes, another euphemism) please use 'died'; I will rest happily.
"Passed" suggests either success in an exam ... or an excretory bodily function.
I like to think that, if someone has "passed" at the end of their life, it means that they have been successful in their endeavours and have been rewarded accordingly.

Brava Sandi Toksvig. The 'sin' is the potential impact of Justin Welby's statement on many young queer people's already-fragile identities theguardian.com/world/2022/a…
