Page: Feed: --- ## [The Tragedy of Jason Arday](http://insectnation.org/blog/the-tragedy-of-jason-arday.html) _2026-08-17 · Andy Buckley · Insectnation_ Through this summer, I mostly ignored the Jason Arday story as it gathered momentum. Like many, my first reaction was of a right-wing harassment campaign against perceived “DEI appointments” and ethnic minorities, with dog-whistle-racist implications that Black folk were getting above their station with professorships in the hallowed corridors of Cambridge. (A place that, with Oxford, seems to… ## [Jobs that Humans Still Need to Do in an AI world](https://bullseye.ac/blog/technology/jobs-that-humans-still-need-to-do-in-an-ai-world/) _2026-06-29 · BullsEye · BullsEye_ The US and Iran war of 2026 was a battle between the AI Goliath and the NI (Natural Intelligence) David. The US pivoted from the conventional body count that defined the 1960s US wars to infrastructure damage that defined the 2020s wars. Should we see this as a precursor of the impact of machine thinking ...

The missus was not impressed with the challenges on the ride so I decided that the family would benefit from going through the same experience. Except, that they wanted to replace the cycle with motorised transport. So we boarded the train ...

As there has again been no clear sign of appropriate urgency among the council leaderships, who appear keen to kick the consequences of their actions into the long grass, time for a bit of awareness-raising to… ## [A grant don't come for free](http://insectnation.org/blog/a-grant-dont-come-for-free.html) _2026-03-02 · Andy Buckley · Insectnation_ In my last post on the ongoing self-made funding crisis at UKRI and its subsidiary science-funding agencies, I made a final reference to the administrative overheads in modern science, which would obviously have been too much burden for an already overlong piece to bear. So here is a follow-up on that issue, one not specific to the transient effects of the latest disruption, but generally how we… ## [Funding crisis? Not another one...](http://insectnation.org/blog/funding-crisis-not-another-one.html) _2026-02-23 · Andy Buckley · Insectnation_ What goes around comes around, and the start of 2026 has, for particle physicists of my vintage, brought strong feelings of deja vu . These harken back to 2007, when the UK government self-inflicted a funding crisis with the creation of STFC , the UK agency that has since then funded our fundamental science research. For those new to the issues old and/or new, sit back, this is going to take a bit… ## [Dixit Diet](https://bullseye.ac/blog/health/dixit-diet/) _2026-01-31 · Bhavya Chowdhury · BullsEye_ Jagannath Dixit’s affinity for preventive medicine made him leave a MD (Medicine) seat to do a MD in PSM – Preventive and Social Medicine.
