New paper alert, and one I’m really proud of - single author paper in Higher Education is a research ambition unlocked! I explore UK awarding gap metrics and ask if they actually capture inequity - hint, they don’t! link.springer.com/article/10.100…

Few days of scientific discussion at Lyon ENS and now grateful of catching some sun. Thanks to the organizers, it was a very inspiring workshop!
