"The BBC is to cut a quarter of its research and development (R&D) division - equating to 67 roles - as part of a new voluntary redundancy scheme."
"The first round of cuts will see the 260 staff who currently work in the R&D division reduced to 193."

“BBC plans 500 job cuts in push for more cost savings”
Redundancies can have a major impact on workers mental health (and not just those directly losing their jobs).
If you’re affected by today’s news the @FilmTVCharity is here for you.

This fully funded studentship has a generous stipend and research and training funds.
The fees are normally covered at the UK rate, but we can waive the difference for European/International candidates in exceptional cases.

I was recommissioned years later to look at the future of #iot for the BBC and during the pandemic to support their Human Values work. I even called Adrian once in a while for career advice. A wonderful contributor to @BBCRD history.

We need your help! I'm helping legendary @NFFC @Arsenal @EnglandFootball striker, Tony Woodcock, find his biological father after he found out from a DNA test that his father wasn't who he thought it was.
We have snippets of information about who his biological father was.
We know his father was #Polish. We think his name was Peter - we don't know his surname. He was apparently the head dyer at Giltbrook Dyers & Cleaners in #Nottingham (no records remain) in the 1950s. We're hoping that someone may see this and it jogs their memory. If you have any information, do get in touch. Please RT to spread far and wide! 😊
