THREAD: Today was my last day as #GCRF Challenge Leader for Conflict & Displacement, a post I have been seconded to for the past 3 years. I resigned in protest over the #ODACuts as I did not think I could do my job with so many projects being scaled back, possibly cut entirely. The cuts that this government has ordered BEIS and UKRI to make to ODA-funded research are more than harsh. They will break bonds of trust and collaboration between researchers, communities & other partners that have taken years to develop.
