"Someone, somewhere, has taken the decision to defund astrophysics research in the UK, but no-one seems quite sure who that was, or why."
The latest on the impact of the catastrophic funding cuts to UK astrophysics, by me, in @natastron.nature.com 👩🔬🧪🔭

this narrative the media have decided on is so fucking insulting.
there's no difference, politically, between any of these prime ministers.
that's the problem. not the voters. it's that our system is fundamentally broken and the press won't let us pick a non-neoliberal.

One reason why UK universities are in trouble is growth of layers of management, HR & marketing
These depts do not bring in money. They consume but don't produce
Worse still, many of them like HR create massive additional problems & costs -- all distracting from core mission of research & teaching
Vocês que visitam o site do nazista e ficam "aí mas a gente tem que disputar os espaços" passam a exata mesma vibe.

Science and Universities are under attack in the Global North regardless of political alignment of the current government.
It’s not a crisis caused by the far right, it’s crisis caused by maintaining neoliberal ideology
Under neoliberalism, it makes zero sense to have public research and education
