We are having a similar conversation at our Library. Some poorly behaved GenAI crawlers (looking at you Alibaba) are battering our online platforms and taking them offline.

Everyone’s acting as if scientists don’t have any agency over where they publish and whether they choose to play the for-profit publishing game. If I, as a pre-tenure PI, can implement an #EthicalPublishing policy without fearing for my career, you can too.

The news can be overwhelming at times, so it’s important to step away and be mindful of all the good things surrounding us. Where I live the flowers are beginning to bloom and I saw the first geese returning from their winter holidays.

I’ve always wondered about this house in Portobello and the quirky fruit machine symbols on the side. I wonder what the story behind them is?

I’m glad to see this rise for PhD students. Back in 2000 my NERC funded stipend was £6,500/year (when the UK median annual wage was £18,800). I was living on the poverty line.
