🆕We hosted our @ScotParl CPG on Colleges and Universities, discussing immigration policy and the implication for higher and further education.
A very insightful discussion and a big thank you to our very knowledgeable speakers who gave great perspectives across the sectors👏

Good morning, Ukraine! 🇺🇦
😢Shots taken for life. This is how pilots of the 299th Tactical Aviation Brigade named after Lieutenant General Vasyl Nikiforov, who died during the full-scale Russian invasion, were commemorated in Mykolaiv. According to tradition, a piano was burned on the runway. Mykolaiv musician Volodymyr Alekseev played Jan Tiersen's composition "Somptine d'un autre été" on the piano, and pilots' callsigns and flight numbers were written on the musical instrument.
Burning pianos in honor of fallen pilots is an American tradition that dates back to World War II. A British pilot who was a pianist in his pre-war life served in one of these squadrons. During a combat mission, his plane was shot down and the pilot died. Since then, in memory of the deceased, his American colleagues burned his instrument.

Official Mother Stefania video by KALUSH Orchestra. To all Ukrainian mothers who go through this horrible war.
227 Ukrainian children have already been killed by Russian monsters, many more injured physically and mentally.
Ukraine will prevail. For every child and every mother.

They say that laughter is the best medicine. Why not test that theory by kicking your weekend off to a great start with this film of @stephenfry delivering his entertaining Rectorial address for @dundeeuni in 1992. Watch on the #DundeeUniCulture blog buff.ly/2xUBtHH
