Important stories from research and academia you may have missed since the last 8am Playbook
Thousands of students across the UK are packing their bags in preparation for the start of the new academic year—which can only mean one thing: the summer is almost over and the 8am Playbook is about to return.
The regular Playbook will be back on Monday (5 September), preceded a day earlier by the first Sunday Reading column of the season. Our Ivory Tower comedy column will return on 9 September.
