This collaborative PhD project with the LSE and Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, on Planting Decolonization: Plantation Science and Empire in the Twentieth Century, sounds amazing.

I’m sure many of you might be interested.

NEW Archaeologists find the earliest evidence for blue pigment use in Europe, dating back ~13,000 years and questioning the long-held belief that Palaeolithic artists only used red or black.

España se ha convertido en la economía más destacada de Europa, según ‘Financial Times’ El diario británico avisa de que se debe combinar el crecimiento impulsado por la inmigración con mejoras de productividad

O que falta: máis igualdade, máis dereitis laborais, máis vivenda social, empatía coa inmigración, novo avance en sanidade e educación públicas, máis espazo natural protexido, máis abundancia cultural e poñer a emerxencia climática no centro da acción pública.

Published in June but very useful now that term begins: "LLM users consistently underperformed at neural, linguistic, and behavioral levels", which "raise concerns about the long-term educational implications of LLM reliance and ...into AI's role in learning."

On the day Rubio inaugurated an archaeological “tunnel burrowed under a Palestinian district, along a Roman-era street” in an “archaeological park established by an Israeli settler organisation… Israeli planes bombed the most important storage depot of ancient artefacts in Gaza City”

The racists were marching and committing violence against people of colour when there were tiny numbers here. You simply cannot deport your way out of this so why not commit to anti-racism instead

Estamos en 2025 y hay que explicar que las vacunas protegen de las enfermedades, el paracetamol no provoca autismo, la tierra no es plana y que hay que IR A VOTAR EN MASA para que los idiotas no nos gobiernen.

Yet, the lie has travelled already around the world fuelling (yet more) racist and xenophobic narratives, whilst the truth (immigrants are *beneficial* to the economy) is putting on its shoes.

Absolutely disgraceful.
“UC Berkeley shares 160 names with Trump administration in ‘McCarthy era’ move”

Commentary: It's not just Latinos. Supreme Court says all brown people are suspicious Latinos were called out specifically in the Supreme Court ruling allowing immigration officials latitude to stop and question anyone. But the ruling goes far beyond one ethnicity.

There are ~43 million people in the U.S. speaking Spanish, over 10 million of them are in California. Let that sink in.
The legalisation of racial profiling in LA will, however, not stop at Latinos. This racial horror will haunt every non-white person in the US. This is just the beginning.

Yes, they are, unfortunately. The Spanish and Portuguese systems are also Open Access from the outset. All journals are region/state-funded and hosted by university departments or research institutions (e.g., CSIC in Spain). A non profit, better and fairer system!

"Policymakers should redistribute the money they spend on APCs to non-commercial presses [...]. Universities should support these presses via in-house services where possible"

📣 Exactly the Spanish, Portuguese & most Latin American countries' model **since decades**! But hey, what do we know...
