What the REF?!

Our fortnightly podcast What the REF?! investigates all things and everything about research culture, recognition and the REF. Our hosts are all members of the Hidden REF committee based at the universities of Southampton and Bristol and our producer is Ben Thomas. Listen to What the REF?! on YouTube or wherever you usually find your podcasts.

If you have a question about the REF that you would like us to answer, or an idea for the podcast, let us know at WTreF@hidden-ref.org, BlueSky or Linkedin.
