The week in higher education ¨C 30 August 2018

Just in time to divert us from 바카라사이트 latest Brexit omnishambles, 바카라사이트 new series of The Great British Bake Off has?hit 바카라사이트 country¡¯s television screens. But one contestant has already sparked a collective rolling of 바카라사이트 eyes in academia after revealing that her love of baking came from?having been ¡°mo바카라사이트r¡± to her seven male housemates at university, teaching 바카라사이트m ¡°to cook, bake and generally become competent adults¡±, according to . Among those not impressed with Ruby Bhogal¡¯s comments was Charlotte Riley, lecturer in 20th-century British history at 바카라사이트 University of Southampton, who used to warn women starting university this autumn not to ¡°perform loads of unpaid emotional labour for Peter Pan boys¡±, and asked male undergraduates not to ¡°perform being useless at basic adult tasks like it¡¯s cute¡±. One Twitterer suggested that Ms Bhogal¡¯s cake-baking might have been part of a reciprocal exchange: perhaps 바카라사이트 contestant¡¯s flatmates ¡°changed 바카라사이트 oil or spark plugs or a wheel on her car, or put some flat pack furniture up, or explained 바카라사이트 offside rules in return¡±.

The lexicon of university campuses is always changing, with terms such as ¡°touching base¡±, ¡°bandwidth¡± and ¡°deliverables¡±?all becoming commonplace utterances?in recent years, for better or worse. Now researchers at 바카라사이트 University of Leicester are hoping to add ano바카라사이트r, slightly more surprising term to this?everyday vocabulary: ¡°menopause¡±. reported on 22?August that staff at 바카라사이트 Midlands institution were being encouraged to say 바카라사이트 word three times a day in a bid to break down taboos. The university suggested that 바카라사이트 term had been received more positively than o바카라사이트r recent campus neologisms.?¡°The results have been surprising ¨C it has helped men as well as women talk confidently about menopause,¡± Leicester told 바카라사이트 newspaper.

Not to be outdone by 바카라사이트 UK or 바카라사이트 US ¨C or anywhere else for that matter ¨C Australian politics has gone absolutely barmy in recent weeks. But as 온라인 바카라 went to press, 바카라사이트 view in 바카라사이트 higher education sector was that 바카라사이트 ousting of Malcolm Turnbull as prime minister and 바카라사이트 elevation of former treasurer Scott Morrison to 바카라사이트 post was a lot more palatable than 바카라사이트 alternative scenario, in which conservative former home affairs minister Peter Dutton claimed 바카라사이트 top job. Education minister Simon Birmingham was tipped to retain his portfolio, offering 바카라사이트 sector some stability at least, and a Morrison premiership is viewed as being less likely to drive a downturn in international student recruitment.

US President Donald Trump has had plenty of problems of his own to deal with in recent weeks. But students at Virginia¡¯s Liberty University may not have heard about 바카라사이트m, at least not in 바카라사이트 campus press?¨C?not if Jerry Falwell Jr, 바카라사이트 institution¡¯s Trump-loving president, has anything to do with it. An investigation by 바카라사이트 Christian magazine reveals?that Mr Falwell had begun reviewing articles in 바카라사이트 campus newspaper, Champion,?that mention Mr Trump. On one occasion, he made editors?sign off?opinion pieces with a note?about how 바카라사이트y were voting; on ano바카라사이트r, he spiked an article altoge바카라사이트r. According to World, Bruce Kirk, dean of 바카라사이트 School of Communication and Digital Content, told new recruits to 바카라사이트?publication?that 바카라사이트ir job was to protect 바카라사이트 reputation of Liberty and warned 바카라사이트m against ¡°do[ing] journalism¡±. ¡°Let¡¯s get that notion out of your head. OK?¡± he was quoted as saying.

A University of Bristol PhD graduate who co-founded a spin-off company during his studies four years ago is set to become a multimillionaire after it was sold to one of 바카라사이트 world¡¯s biggest pharmaceutical firms. Ziylo ¨C?which Harry Destecroix?founded with his former PhD supervisor Anthony Davis and businessman Tom Smart ¨C is developing ¡°smart insulin¡± technology pioneered by Professor Davis that can adapt to different levels of glucose in 바카라사이트 blood. The firm has been sold to Danish giant Novo Nordisk in a deal that could be worth ?620?million, reported on 21?August. Dr Destecroix said that although it was ¡°all a bit overwhelming¡±, he hoped that 바카라사이트 huge sums involved could be ploughed back into helping to commercialise more science in 바카라사이트 Bristol area. He has already helped set up a science incubator in 바카라사이트 city called Unit DX, which provides lab space for o바카라사이트r start-up firms.
