In what alternate universe does getting rid of talented journos and so many graphics and dataviz experts make sense? Shocking from the owners. Lots of talent now available to be snapped up, and I hope they are, including friends, highly respected experts and colleagues of mine in the community.

How to stay focused โ by the top neuroscientist
Constantly distracted? Our ability to concentrate is declining. Dr Sabina Brennan on what we can do to sharpen our brains
Fascinating article includes the line "If we get 60 emails a day and read each one the second our phone dings, that means weโd spend a full hour a day working with the brain capacity of an 11-year-old" I hope that explains why I ignore most of mine ๐คฃ www.thetimes.com/article/fa83...
