Settling in for #FASSFestival2020

Lots of excellent panels & speakers, showing just how much @UniOfSurreyFASS has going on on the research front!

surrey.ac.uk/news/universit…

@UniOfSurrey
@UniOfSurreyFASS @UniOfSurrey Opening from Dean, Graham Miller, reminds us that there's more to research than just the size of funding: Faculty above national averages on FWCI
@UniOfSurreyFASS @UniOfSurrey Miller: #FASSFestival2020 an opportunity to celebrate our work, to share experiences and build networks, and simply to have time to step back from the day-to-day and enjoy thinking
Our first panel
@EnzoResearch Big theme here has been the tension between what we can do, and what we should do: technological progress opens lots of doors, but some (most?) lead us to new social and ethical dilemmas

Over the past few years I've had the opportunity to travel across Europe, talking about Brexit for @UKandEU

This place sticks with me
It's the Gänseliesel (goose girl) in Göttingen

You can read more here (en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/G%C3%A4ns…) but basically you get to kiss it when you complete your studies at the university
When I spoke there last September I suggested that no one was going to be kissing her any time some soon on Brexit

And I still think that

As good a place as any to consider Britain and Europe

1/
Named for a battle, but was that about the British defeating the French, or about the importance of having allies across the Continent?

2/
Do we memorize to remember the pain of our European endeavours or the shared human toll of war?

Let's have a quick run-down on What It's Like To Leave The EU, ahead of a weekend of "but they said..." tweets

1/
On Friday 31st, at 2300 UK time, the UK will no longer be a member of the EU

HOWEVER

You might not notice any real change in your life

2/
You'll still be able to use the EU line at the airport, you'll pay the EU rate for your postage stamps, your .eu website will still work

(Long thread I'm afraid.)

So you may have seen this story recently: theguardian.com/politics/2019/…

And you may well be thinking that it's election time, and it's the Guardian, exaggeration, crazy leftwing conspiracy theory etc. etc.
Except this has been going on for a while now:

Over the last couple of years we've heard continuously from Brexiteers that one individual is the UK's leading trade expert - he has advised Ministers and happens to back no-deal Brexit. I think there should be more competition (niche thread) 1/
Many in the UK trade policy community think of Alan Winters as the lead expert - he's written extensively, advised pretty much everyone, and worked for Gov departments, World Bank etc.... 2/ sussex.ac.uk/profiles/97501
Unbelievable I know but Alan Winters is not on twitter. He also doesn't write extensively on Brexit. But he did write a rather stinging rebuke to Peter Lilley over the latter's claim about a WTO terms Brexit 3/ politics.co.uk/comment-analys…
