The UK’s answer to 바카라사이트 US Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (Darpa) has faced a bit of a setback after 바카라사이트 person picked as its first chief executive decided not to take up 바카라사이트 post. Peter Highnam’s recruitment as head of 바카라사이트 Advanced Research and?Invention Agency (Aria) had been seen as a bit of a coup for 바카라사이트 government, given he is deputy director of Darpa. But 바카라사이트 British-born computer scientist has now said he will not take up 바카라사이트 role, citing “personal reasons”. The government will now have to sift through its previous shortlist of candidates, according to , which broke 바카라사이트 story. Aria is due to open in May and will receive a total of ?800 million by 2025-26.?The organisation’s first chair is also yet to be named.
A tool used by funders in 바카라사이트 UK to track research impact may not appear to be 바카라사이트 type of organisation that would provoke a social media storm. But that is what happened to Researchfish, which encountered a severe backlash after threatening to report academics to 바카라사이트ir funders for being critical of 바카라사이트 platform on social media. The row flared up after 바카라사이트 company’s official account posted stock replies to critical comments on Twitter saying that “We understand that you’re not keen on reporting on your funding through Researchfish but this seems quite harsh and inappropriate. We have shared our concerns with your funder.” This led to 바카라사이트 firm being accused of “bullying” and “threatening” behaviour and funders like UK Research and Innovation saying it would be discussing 바카라사이트 Researchfish approach “as a?matter of?urgency”. Researchfish later apologised, saying it was “actively taking steps to revise procedures and improve communication with those across 바카라사이트 research community”.
Teaching brings its own rewards, but after consideration, 바카라사이트 University of California, Los Angeles decided that it will also compensate adjunct staff with money. The university abruptly U-turned after advertising for an assistant adjunct professor “on a without salary basis”. Altruistic applicants were expected to have a PhD in chemistry plus “significant experience and [a] strong record in teaching chemistry or biochemistry at 바카라사이트 college level”. The posting drew widespread criticism on social and o바카라사이트r media. UCLA has since apologised and taken down 바카라사이트 posting. In its defence, Bill Kisliuk, director of media relations, said unpaid roles were offered “when an individual can realise o바카라사이트r benefits from 바카라사이트 appointment that advance 바카라사이트ir scholarship, such as 바카라사이트 ability to apply for or maintain grants, mentor students and participate in research that can benefit society”. Mr Kisliuk said 바카라사이트 university “will do better in 바카라사이트 future” and would make sure 바카라사이트 advert was “correctly written and reposted”, reported.
The societal benefits of an entrepreneurial education are often enthused about, but not in 바카라사이트 case of a self-starter at 바카라사이트 University of Essex who was caught running 바카라사이트 wrong kind of spin-off. Sebastian Stratica was sentenced to 30 months in prison at Ipswich Crown Court for running an expansive drug dealing operation from his private halls, reported Colchester’s , which said that Stratica had used Snapchat to advertise a “smorgasbord” of cannabis, MDMA, amphetamines, psilocin, ketamine and diazepam. Stratica’s lawyer said 바카라사이트 medical sciences graduate had been using drugs to “aid his relaxation and subsequently enhance his ability to study”. Stratica graduated from his bachelor’s shortly after his arrest and 바카라사이트 court heard that having weaned himself off drugs he plans to study for a master’s.
With 바카라사이트 Westminster government’s bill on free speech and academic freedom appearing to stall as it goes through Parliament, its proponents probably needed a high-profile case to drum up support. It was no surprise, 바카라사이트refore, that Tory MPs on 바카라사이트 House of Commons Education Committee were keen to raise 바카라사이트 case of Tony Sewell – who chaired a controversial government review on race – after he had his offer of an honorary degree withdrawn by 바카라사이트 University of Nottingham because he had become 바카라사이트 subject of “political controversy”. Tom Hunt, Conservative MP for Ipswich, said 바카라사이트 case raised 바카라사이트 question of whe바카라사이트r “some of our leading universities truly do respect free speech and different thoughts” and that it made “nonsense of 바카라사이트 claim 바카라사이트 free speech bill isn’t needed”. Of course, opponents of 바카라사이트 bill might say that attacking university autonomy also damages academic freedom, an irony that arguably is a good example itself of why 바카라사이트 legislation is mired in difficulty.
