I love the fact that my university library lets me order new books for the library that I get an indefinite loan on while I'm here.
These gorgeous books just arrived. 🥰📚

Lovely lichens.
Can't wait until I've studied some more and can actually ID what I'm looking at 💚

Finished the week with some teaching prep for #FoundationYear geography. Thinking about how to teach rivers, but more importantly how to help students gain confidence and joy in exploring and reading #Sheffield 's fantastic landscapes

Student #visa rule changes, a real terms decline in domestic #tuitionfees, the effect of NI increases, cuts and caps on #FoundationYear fees, increased employer-side #pension contributions, restricted #research funding... The list is endless of government's bizarre assault on the sector.

Spent today working on our #FoundationYear stats teaching database of 1100 of London's memorial plaques. I'd previously missed this entry about Rick Mayall

It was a genuinely fun morning. We're a small interdisciplinary #FoundationYear team, so we were attempting assignments we knew nothing about. I was tasked with "writing" a Gothic short story and creating a commentary on it, whilst my literature colleague tried my geography assignments.

Came back to work to GOOD news, that incredible colleagues across the #FoundationYear sector have collaborated to pass a motion @ucu.org.uk congress to recognise the importance of high quality Foundation Year provision.
