To follow up on Frazer’s message, the response to Clare’s open letter has been extraordinary. The international community has been clear that they hold the School of Physics and Astronomy in extremely high regard.
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I’ve collated a selection of nice comments referencing the Astronomy and Particle Cosmology groups in particular, in case you need reminding of how special what we have here in CAPT is. Please see attached. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Several comments have specifically mentioned the welcoming environment they received while visiting us - so thank you to all those who have organised talks, hosted speakers, participated in meet the speaker, etc. It makes a difference. </div>
