-Such a short-sighted & spiteful policy (& a very sad tweet).
-International students add significantly to UK's reputation, university funding & economy/GDP.
-Demonising international students (in key fields) & their families will mean they will go elsewhere (USA, EU etc).

Another postdoc opportunity in my group to be advertised in January. Please do keep a look out if wanting to work on a multidisciplinary project focused on Gram-negative bacterial surfaces. What do they look like….?
