The only mention of university staff in any of the media coverage i have heard/seen/read about today's announced increase in tuition fees implied we're shortchanging students, so just putting it out there that we've been doing much, much more for much, much less for last 15 years

Happy #FossilFriday! For this week, we’re highlighting another “monstrous” Paleozoic critter, Diplocaulus. Known from the Permian of the US and Africa, Diplocaulus is a strange amphibian with a boomerang shaped head, the function of which is unknown.
