Call to support, not sack, junior academics as pandemic hits

It's a very valid, though obvious comment. The future is the young. I 'retired' early 40s (from AI and to go commercial) in recognition of the fact that the youngsters took a month to learn what I'd struggled with over 10 years. Universities are very top heavy now, since retirement at 65 was abolished.

There's absolutely no money in some universities. Struggling with cash flow even! Without understanding the financial difficulties many face, it is too easy to propose unrealistic solutions. Fair? Not at all but the law of survival applies here. We are hanging by a thin thread at mine.
