University of Bristol

Dr. Rohr is a neonatal intensivist, clinical scientist at the University of Oxford.

You serve as the clinical director of the Clinical Trials Unit within the National Perinatal Epidemiology Unit, as well as holding a professorship of research at the University of Bristol.

Your career has really centered around neonatal stabilization, resuscitation, and the use of non-invasive respiratory support.

You're a long-standing member of ILCOR and the Neonatal Life Support Task Force, co-author of the European Consensus on Management of Respiratory Distress Syndrome Guidelines, and furthermore, you're the immediate past president of the European Society for Pediatric Research and a senior editor for Pediatric Research, The Journal.

Yes, and it's also now confirmed.

He's a queer studies academic now and he has affiliation with the University of Bristol.

And so he outed himself in a recently published academic paper as a, I think the quote was, a gay man of East African diaspora background.

And so after that, I felt comfortable actually in going public with this because at that time, I didn't know if he was closeted and I didn't think it was my place to disclose what I encountered with this account.

But he's written some rather sort of typically ultra-progressive stories.

theory while being at the University of Bristol about sort of queering and colonialism and things like that.

And it's sort of quite typical of British academia that someone like this should be there publishing what reads to me like kind of gibberish, postmodern gibberish on, you know, colonialism and queering the empire and things like that.

So that type of radical leftist politics runs in the family, if he is indeed a biological brother, Mr. Omar.

But I don't want to jump in and tell you what to think about Colston.

I commissioned something called the History Commission, a group of historians and academics from University of Bristol and University of West of England.

And what they did was they went and they got the data together on Colston.

They got the evidence together and then told his story.

It was really good fun.

And then I went to University of Bristol.

I always say University of Bristol, but it's kind of like the poly.

Did a degree and then moved to Guildford and started my career after that.

What

Some of the universities will base some of their students up here.

There's a group up at the moment I've met from Bristol University who are doing their final dissertation up here.

So they were in the bookshop and got very excited to see all the geology maps.

And then we had various... pens they thought were great for their mapping projects that they have to do and we get them through you see them throughout the year they tend to come i suppose in i think april and may and then maybe september october and stay in the youth hostels and things like that and they're doing their project so so that and the books do sell at other times of the year and as you say people were sort of known for having these books as well which is good um and some good suppliers for those sorts of things

I'm not going to cover it because there's a lot of detail there, but Justice Chamberlain criticised the IHRA and I recommend reading paragraphs 104 to 110 of that decision.

Then we have the recent case Then we have the recent case of David Miller versus the University of Bristol that went to the Employment Appeal Tribunal.

And I've set out there paragraph 138.5 of the judgment where the judge stated, as the claimant's counsel correctly submitted, it is coherent to describe as racist an ideology that promotes the establishment of a state for only one race of people in a territory that contains a large number of people of a different race.

Such an ideology which supports the migration of members of the first group into the territory with the support of an imperial power to dislodge an indigenous population could also inherently be described as colonial and imperialistic.

Number two.

Sharks are also older than flowering plants, which first evolved between 256 and 149 million years ago, according to scientists from the University of London and the University of Bristol in a 2018 study published to the New Phytologist Journal.

Number three.

The Luden Wildlife Conservancy explains that grass plants first arose around 70 million years ago, toward the end of the Cretaceous period.

Those 45 specimens were actually from 15 different research institutes across Europe.

I and the leader of the project, Professor Ian Hamilton from the University of Bristol, were lucky enough to have a group selected for that, which are new materials based on polymers.

And so our materials were flown for that period.

They're now down in the laboratories at ESTEC in the Netherlands, and we're due to pick them up soon.
