Interesting data here. Chemistry has always been expensive to teach. But it's a subject the UK excels in and for which we have a large industry. If the UK government saw it as critical to our nation perhaps they'd fund it better.

Oh no! Please don’t close the Cambridge vet school. My late twin sister learnt her vocation there and her subsequent successful career attests to the quality of the training that she received there
James Wood@jw13212 Dec 2025
Just 3 weeks after @Cambridge_Uni Vice Chancellor publicly stated that courses do not need to close because of financial reasons, @CamVetSchool was delivered this bombshell, new in @timeshighered : timeshighereducation.com/new…

Students lament possible closure of Cambridge veterinary courses

University leaders considering internal recommendation to cease veterinary education after regulators extended conditional accreditation of degrees

Vale Jim - a wonderful supporter of Australia’s teams in the International Science Olympiads
Australian Academy of Science@Science_Academy22 Oct 2025
We are saddened to learn of the passing of the Academy's former President and former Chief Scientist of Australia, Dr Jim Peacock AC FAA FTSE FRS at the age of 87. Academy President, Professor Chennupati Jagadish AC, said Jim will be deeply missed and remembered as a champion of Australian science. “Jim was dedicated to Australian science and the Academy right to the end, making a significant effort to attend our annual Science at the Shine Dome event just six weeks ago." “Jim made outstanding contributions to Australian science, agriculture and science education over many years,” Professor Jagadish said. Media release to follow.
