Not sure if you guys have seen this news story...

Obvious April Fools are obvious :-)

I kind of like the look of that campus :)

Drat. We thought we'd convince people when we photo-shopped a 'redbrick' onto an oil rig ;)

Professor Birdseye though...

Totally appreciate the effort. And it's sorely tempting. But nah... you didn't get me. Unlike my boss who sent me in a minor panic this morning about a presentation early next week which I hadn't put in my diary.

I did try this on a member of professional services at a UK uni yesterday (can't say which one) and they were intrigued until they read that Mary Rose was consulting.

Actual PhD-related April Fools are just cruel!
