On this day in 1971, Simone Langenhoff, aged 6, was killed while cycling to school; hit by a speeding driver.
Her death and the movement started by her father, Vic Langenhoff, a newspaper journalist, changed an entire country and saved thousands of Dutch lives. Here's how 🧵

We should scrap the REF.
We could save universities £430 million, improve research financial sustainability, increase support for spinouts and drive technological diffusion to support regional productivity growth by switching to a system focused on “external research income”. 🧵
Scrap the REF to ‘save £450 million’, says think tank.
UK Day One suggests “new, low-bureaucracy system” would improve research quality.

Fossil Grove in Victoria Park will be open from 12 - 4 today! Head along to see this awesome example of a 330 million year old fossilised forest right in the heart of Glasgow 🏴🖤

A large fossilised lycopsid trunk is visible in the foreground which is around 1m diameter with large branching roots extending from its base (known as stigmaria). In the background you can another one of the lycopsids and the Carboniferous bedrock composed of sediments and a dolerite sill, and the grove viewing platform.

Nigel Farage was rehabilitated by ITV when it paid him £1.5m to appear on I’m A Celeb.
He is also joint-second for most appearances on BBC Question Time.
When I say the *entire* media class is complicit in the normalisation of Islamophobic & anti-migrant rhetoric, I mean it.
