Britain s highest paid university boss will stand down when her contract expires dailymail.co.uk - get the latest breaking news, showbiz & celebrity photos, sport news & rumours, viral videos and top stories from dailymail.co.uk Daily Mail and Mail on Sunday newspapers.
LONDON: The UK’s Education Secretary, Gavin Williamson, has been accused of “punching down” over plans to cut spending on universities and teaching in London, as part of the government’s “levelling up” program to redistribute funds outside the capital to other parts of England.
University bosses suggested that plans to lower a grant for London-based teachers would cost them £64 million ($88.5 million), and lead to a cut of over 1,000 jobs, harming London’s position as a global education hub, with some chiefs warning of the impact to global health care development.
There have also been suggestions that the capital’s transport, housing, council and other services could lose funds as part of the reforms.
Molly Stevens Gets FEBS EMBO Women in Science Award 2021
Updated On February 11, 2021
Molly Stevens, Professor of Biomedical Materials and Regenerative Medicine in the Department of Materials and the Department of Bioengineering, at Imperial College London, received FEBS EMBO Women in Science Award 2021.
The award is an acknowledgement for her innovative bioengineering approach that addresses problems in regenerative medicine and biosensing. Her research results are being translated into the development of point-of-care tests for tumours and viruses such as HIV and Ebola virus. These biosensors are designed in a way to allow rapid diagnoses anywhere in the world. Stevens works closely with biomaterials and researches how materials can be used in the body to improve health and minimise suffering.
