2 reasons to be cheerful today: 3 democrat victories clearly demonstrating that lurching either right or left would be a BIG mistake and a new national curriculum that sounds like it'll prepare kids for the future and give some enrichment 😀

Phil's fundraiser for Malaria Consortium
Help Phil Jones raise money to support Malaria Consortium
I'll be running the Coventry 10k on Sunday if anyone would like to donate towards Malaria Consortium. It's a consortium against rather than for malaria if that helps... www.justgiving.com/page/philrun...

This is absolutely wild and not uncommon among major publishers: deevybee.blogspot.com/2025/02/ieee... also great shout by the author to get stuck in and report bad science on PubPeer and/or to publishers. Problematic Paper Screener lists articles for checking - hobby for the sleuths out there...

I promise I won't spam the running posts but I wanted to share that I completed week 1 of 9 of 'couch to 5k' and encourage anyone else who hasn't run for ages or at all to give it a go, it's surprisingly doable www.nhs.uk/live-well/ex...

Section 2 – REF 2029 Open access policy – REF 2029icon-printer
New UKRI OA policy - embargo periods shortened to 6 months for hard sciences and 12 months for AHSS but no inclusion for long-form/books (a real shame imo): 2029.ref.ac.uk/guidance/sec...

Lost a ceanothus tree in the storm last night, the one where the jays and nuthatches used to visit the bird feeder. Man that's a shame

Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ) 2024-2026 - Licence subscriptions manager
Licence subscriptions manager supports the procurement of digital content for education and research in the UK
Plea for libraries to support DOAJ if you can. Am a bit surprised some libraries aren't continuing their support and really if we want viable OA alternatives to major commercial agreements/TA's then we really need to put our money where our mouths are: subscriptionsmanager.jisc.ac.uk/catalogue/3015
