The most fashionable #structures team ever? Checking out our cleared out lab space. More staff and a promise of investment in our lab… what more could we ask for? @LeonChernin @Margi_StructEng @tsanghho @Xuemei747941

Unfortunately, very much marred by the statement from our research lead "Books may have limited value in your area for promotion" which very much surprised some of the senior academics from other institutions I asked (esp. with no discussion on type of book/peer reviewed etc..).

Really delighted to have our book on #Tensegrity #Structures published by @CRCPress 🎉
Also happy to have been able to include both my membership of the @ICEScotland and my role in @ComecUSU as career highlights

It was an absolute privilege to be invited to the 21 gun salute this morning at @edinburghcastle. I was able to meet many likeminded people and discuss the importance of #STEM, engaging in outreach. I might have already started organising stuff for @dundeeuni…

Great #VR training session delivered by @IanStuart66 @ClassVR . Teachers and engineers working together as part of our @RAEngNews Ingenious grant, bringing a #STEM library to Dundee. So many exciting ideas, and the kit will be available for local schools to borrow 😁 @STEMDundee

What’s all this? Balsa wood, glue guns, pens, foam boards… is it time for some more creative engineering?✅ We can’t wait to welcome some future #engineers to build their ideas for structural projects to improve their local community 🤩 @ClaypottsPS @ICE_schools @SRGIStructE

I can imagine, and understand, that these strike dates will be greeted with a fair amount of shock, surprise, and concern from students and their parents. £9k a year on university fees is a lot. So I want to explain just how much these institutions value students. 1/
