Got to agree with this from Prof Wyn Evans in his candidate’s statement for Chancellor of Cambridge:

“If Cambridge needs a high-profile or celebrity chancellor to be noticed, we might as well give up and rebrand the University as a reality TV show: ‘Keeping Up with the Cantabrigians’.
We will always prosper provided we stay true to our core values of excellence in education, learning and research”
Pleased to have helped nominate an astrophysicist.

@Luke_Drury yeah but Sandi Toksvig is not reality tv. She’s a serious and thoughtful activist on behalf of knowledge. There’s a stink of something sexist there imo.
