I wanted to actually go in and see it with my own eyes. Sometimes twitter is uncharitable. I wanted to see it for myself. And it's really there. It really does talk about extending Metrolink to Manchester Airport. Metrolink to Manchester Airport opened in 2014.

As bombs fell on Ukraine’s towns and cities in the first week of the invasion, the Ukrainian government still made a scheduled interest payment to its private lenders on time. Its lenders — IMF, World Bank, banks, and hedge funds—are all queuing up to collect their debts. 🧵

I see ResearchFish have been threatening people who criticise them on here, so I'll be careful what I tweet, but... there is a reason why it is so disliked. A short thread 1/n

Very proud of my former PhD student, Kenyan Ambassador Martin Kimani, making this eloquent statement to Security Council
If you're gonna listen to any speech about #Ukraine 🇺🇦, let it be this one. The Kenya ambassador to the UNSC perfectly explains how people across Africa understand Ukraine, and what the Kremlin's acts of aggression mean in our post-colonial world.

For the first time, the @sig_chi conference has an open call for expressions of interest to serve as chair or TPC for CHI 2024—the flagship event of @sigchi. It's a major undertaking, but also a chance to see your vision come to life. More details at: medium.com/sigchi/open-call-…

The SIGCHI Volunteer Development Committee invite you to help in a survey to understand the volunteer experience: why and how people volunteer, barriers to participation, and how to support it effectively (<10 minutes) surveymonkey.co.uk/r/SIGCHI-… #ACMCHI #HCI

For any academic that has ever applied for funding from public sources... £100k for this. One hundred thousand pounds.
This application in this thread shows shocking corruption - it’s definitely who you know!
