Open letter to giant pandas

Flirting skills in the animal kingdom

It’s no use being told that there’s ‘plenty more fish in the sea’ when all those potential love interests seem to be swimming away as fast as they can.

Eye love you: how our eyes respond to our emotions

They say that the eyes are a window into the soul. And it’s not only romantics who agree, but also scientists. In fact, eyes may reveal the way you feel about someone before you even know.

As editors of student newspapers at all 24 Russell As editors of student newspapers at all 24 Russell Group universities, we stand united against the Russell Group statement which declared ‘no detriment’ or ‘safety net’ policies not to be ‘appropriate’ or ‘necessary’ for students at this time. 

Having listened to students at our universities, we are calling on the Russell Group to act compassionately and empathetically and to reconsider their stance on ‘no detriment’ politics for assessments this year. 

Students deserve to be listened to.
