Following the madness of sacking some of the best teaching staff at RSM,
word has it on the grapevine even though it does not yet appear on their
website, that the unmarketable and unmemorable T.H.Huxley School of
Environment, Earth Science and Engineering is no more. It seem that the
Environment bit will join recently merged biology and biochemistry
departments under Prof Mike Hassell (an NHM trustee), leaving Earth Science
and Engineering. So maybe the Royal School of Mines is back after all?
Let's hope so.
