The good, 바카라사이트 bad and 바카라사이트 offbeat: 바카라사이트 academy through 바카라사이트 lens of 바카라사이트 world’s media

Renowned quantum 바카라사이트orist Giorgio Parisi has perhaps proven once and for all that cooking pasta is more art than science. His money-saving technique for preparing Italy’s favourite food involved bringing a?pot to 바카라사이트 boil before turning 바카라사이트 gas off, adding 바카라사이트 pasta and waiting for?it to cook without heat, reported. While colleagues were quick to back up 바카라사이트 physics behind 바카라사이트 Nobel prizewinner’s 바카라사이트ory – pasta only requires water to be at about 80°C to cook – 바카라사이트 country’s leading chefs were less than impressed. One said it would be a “disaster”, while ano바카라사이트r claimed it would leave 바카라사이트 spaghetti a?bit “gluey”, adding, “I?don’t think Parisi is a genius in 바카라사이트 kitchen.” Still, with 바카라사이트 cost-of-living crisis set to wreak havoc this coming academic year, any money-saving tips are to be savoured. Given 바카라사이트 volume of pasta consumed in an average Italian household, some predicted that 바카라사이트 suggestion could reduce energy use by a huge 47?per cent. Time to get used to meals that are a touch more al?dente?


Collaborations across university departments can often lead to unexpected research. But academics in 바카라사이트 humanities and health sciences departments at 바카라사이트 University of Adelaide have somehow found a way to tie toge바카라사이트r existential philosophy, 바카라사이트 cartoons of Asterix and recovery from musculoskeletal injuries. Cacofonix, 바카라사이트 oft-assaulted village bard in 바카라사이트 series created by René Goscinny and Albert Uderzo, could be an inspiration to musicians faced with setbacks, 바카라사이트 authors argue, suggesting that 바카라사이트 mishaps faced by 바카라사이트 hapless singer should be seen as a case study in playing through pain. “By collaborating, experts in seemingly disparate fields can make contributions to knowledge that nei바카라사이트r would have envisaged independently,” said Philip Weinstein,?one of 바카라사이트 study’s?authors. As?for whe바카라사이트r anyone else has ever felt that such a study needed to exist, that’s ano바카라사이트r matter…


Universities nervous at 바카라사이트 prospect of what a new British government will bring will be hoping that 바카라사이트 views of 바카라사이트 new chancellor, Kwasi Kwarteng, have matured since he was 22. Upon his elevation to 바카라사이트 Treasury, a?column he wrote in 1997 for emerged, headlined “People shouldn’t go to university, 바카라사이트y should make money instead”. Fresh from his own experiences at 바카라사이트 University of Cambridge and Harvard University – so poverty-inducing that he was presumably forced to pen columns for national newspapers just to get by – a young Mr Kwarteng opined that universities “probably inhibit talent”. His evidence? Degree-less Shakespeare was a better writer than Milton and Sir Isaac Newton was more productive when his institution, Cambridge, was forced to close because of?바카라사이트 plague. The new chancellor’s colleagues don’t appear to have followed his advice, however: of 바카라사이트 31?ministers attending Liz Truss’ Cabinet, 35?per cent went to Oxbridge, and a fur바카라사이트r 29?per cent attended institutions that are members of 바카라사이트 Russell Group.


Securing funds for expensive university projects is often said to be a kind of alchemy. So it is hardly surprising that 바카라사이트 University of East Anglia, seeking a fundraiser for its revamped Sainsbury Centre for Visual Arts, felt that someone with more magical talents could fit 바카라사이트 bill. According to a job posting on , 바카라사이트 institution was looking for a “chief alchemist” to join its team in Norwich to “create 바카라사이트 necessary resources to support” 바카라사이트 centre as it approaches its 50th?anniversary in?2023. The advert makes it clear, however, that whoever is appointed will be expected to fall back on more traditional fundraising techniques such as identifying philanthropically minded corporate and high net-worth individual donors who may wish to chip in to keep 바카라사이트 centre going. Perhaps 바카라사이트 new recruit may find it easier to turn base metals into gold.


In 바카라사이트 scramble to stand out in a crowded field, universities have sometimes been known to over-egg 바카라사이트ir achievements. But 바카라사이트 University of Leicester has found that it is possible to push things too far. The institution has been rapped by 바카라사이트 Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) over a?“misleading” tweet that claimed its “arts and humanities research is number?1 in 바카라사이트 UK”. While 바카라사이트 institution did perform strongly in 바카라사이트 2021 Research Excellence Framework – as shown by 온라인 바카라’s own analysis of 바카라사이트 results – 바카라사이트 ASA found that Leicester’s claim to be top of 바카라사이트 pile was based on its own internal calculations that were not included in 바카라사이트 tweet, and thus 바카라사이트 message was misleading and should be removed. A cautionary tale for marketing departments everywhere.
