‘REF’ is basically a dirty word that raises eyebrows and elicits many a groan, but its also super-important.
And it looks like the next REF, still a few years off, will concentrate more along the lines of research culture, integrity, impact and case studies. So for example, fewer bonus points that cracking paper in The Lancet or Nature, and more focus on ‘yes, but what public good have you actually done?’.
New blog post from me, on the Times Higher Education website – ‘A bridge between academics and communications staff’

The virus is transmitted by the Hyalomma tick, which is found in many different animals, including domestic cattle and also long-distance migratory birds (hence, the concerns around sustained close contact with humans and potential to transmit into new habitats).
It’s a virus we may (unfortunately) hear more about in the years to come. . Do give it a read, and share as appropriate.
New article from me, in The Conversation – ‘Crimean-Congo haemorrhagic fever – why this tick-borne virus could become more common in richer countries’
