A gloriously sunny 29°C in Cambridge today. Enjoyed teaching a Masters class to a lovely group who asked insightful questions.

“many violations of good employment practice have statutes of limitations. It is easy to waste months raising matters with intransigent HR staff only to find you are out of time. As soon as there are difficulties, raise the matter immediately with your trade union. Don’t believe HR’s endless blather about “putting people first” or “breaking the silence about bullying”. It is just spin to enable your university to look good and get its Athena SWAN badge.”

When Edward VII was Prince of Wales and went up to Cambridge, his mother, Queen Victoria, rented lovely Madingley Hall, a 16th century manor, to be his “student housing”. If any of his fellow students ever dropped by for a glass of sherry, I’m sure they were struck by how *different* the prince’s lodgings were from their own small and spartan college rooms!

@SJLahey What a fabulous job-spec! & an inspiration to read about Dr Dorothea #Oschinsky. Congratulations, & have a great time!

@RobertBigg Glad you like it! Close engagement with the seal design proved very rewarding. Once we were hands-on, #drawing & #carving brought recognition & enhanced appreciation of many small details. (It's embarrassing how much I overlooked when just looking.) Also fun that over the 3years between the new edition of the biography & the seal booklet, we learned more from both #archaeology & #archives.

Great article on Stormzy approaching 30 and interviews with him and two of the Cambridge graduates of his sponsorship scheme to the University.

Wonderful to be at Clare College to unveil the stone sculpture of the 1359 seal - greatly enlarged for visibility! Wonderful workmanship by Cardozo Kindersley Workshop, http://kindersleyworkshop.co.uk

Ernest Walton died on 25 June 1995 in Belfast. Born in Dungarvan, Co Waterford, he was a physicist and Nobel laureate for his work with John Cockcroft with “atom-smashing” experiments done at Cambridge University in the early 1930s, and so became the first person in history to artificially split the atom.

An ethical approach to a student paper worth publishing would be mentoring that student towards publishing the paper themselves! #academia #CambridgeUniversity

Today we in the Department of Genetics #CambridgeUniversity should be celebrating the success and achievements of our final year Genetics (BA) and Systems Biology (MSci) students. It is with huge disappointment that the intransigence of UCEA and their failure to engage with @ucu means our students are in limbo - I'm angry🤬

Lloyd Mann took this photo of the lovely and vertiginous view from atop the chapel of St John’s College, Cambridge.

“We are not asking for people to judge the people of the past. We are simply presenting a more complete picture so that we, today, can think about what we want to do with that information.” V good, detailed, and infuriating on the opposition to basic research on #CambridgeUniversity connections to/ profits from #slavery. The opposition here is beyond parody. #history #histodons https://amp.theguardian.com/news/2023/jun/01/cotton-capital-legacies-of-slavery-research-backlash-cambridge-university

Scientists have sequenced Ludwig van Beethoven’s genome from locks of his hair, revealing clues to the great composer’s health and his family history. The study's lead author, Tristan James Alexander Begg, from the Cambridge Department of Archaeology and Clare Hall, University of Cambridge, explains how they did it and what they discovered.
