"There is no such thing as a dumb question" - in #interdisciplinary #science we must ask each other basic questions because these lead to new ideas. Reflections on Tom McLeish from Mark Leake in a profound moment from the @PhysicsofLifeUK conference 🙂 @BPSIYork @MNP_Leeds

Today, I was on strike as part of @leedsucu, as part of the biggest ever university #strike to hit the UK with over 70,000 university staff at 150 universities! ucu.org.uk/article/12609/… Very sad that the university is not negotiating seriously about important issues! 😐
