I love that #UK lawyers are pre warning the police that if they act like American police did against #student protestors they will help the students immediately. #Oxford#Solidarity#BDS#Palestine
I've shared this before but anyway, I used park my van on a quiet village street quite legally, and start and finish the day with a nice 15-20km ride into my office in #Oxford alongside the river. I returned one evening to find not one but two notes stuffed under the windscreen wipers … #cycling#activeTravel
Did you know that in 1755, after the #Dodo went extinct, the director of the Ashmolean #Museum in #Oxford decided that the stuffed Dodo they had was too musty & promptly burned it?
This was the very last preserved Dodo.
An appalled employee tried to save the bird, but could only rescue the head & a foot.
Consequently, we actually don't know much about the bird. Such as its diet or breeding habits.
(It's unclear if the story's true. But the lack of remains is.)
Great kick-off meeting of our #BlackHolistic project to make color movies of blackholes, funded by a Synergy grant of the #European Research Council #ERC. Partners from @Radboud_uni, University of #Amsterdam, #Oxford, #Turku, and #Namibia will work together, build a new submm-wave telescope in Namibia, and develop a holistic model of black holes. Also talked about societal impact with the Namibian ambassador, who was present. #astrodon#astrophysics#blackhole#astronomy
Again, no mention of the #Board. #AlicePerkins, then #TimParker chaired the #PostOffice Board and should have been asking hard questions as soon as the first wisp of scandal appeared.
But unlike #PaulaVennells they both went to #Oxford.
Jonathan Evans and Alan Cook - the latter CEO of the Financial Ombudsman Service at the same time as being non-exec at the PO - why aren't they being mentioned? #PostOfficeScandal
In the old days, the Guardian would've been onto this.
