New blog by @mvdct and @DrKaitClark exploring standards and profits in academic journal and book publishing.
They ask us to consider whether all publishers and open access arrangements are the same.
(TL;DR - they're not!)

Urgent!!!! Contractors have shown up to rip up hedgerows at Yew Tree Farm!! They don’t have planning permission but claim they can rip out ancient hedgerows because there’s no TPO. We need everyone to help stop this ASAP! Please spread this message. @Catherinewith11 needs you.

My stepdad @ChrisGPackham has bared the brunt of obsessive bullies who’ve burnt down his gates, thrown dead animals into his garden sent death threats. They spread lies and hate because he stands up for wildlife.
I stand by him wholeheartedly

A polite request to any homeowner planning extension work: please do consider designing-in e.g. bird boxes, bee bricks, bat boxes. The expense of such integrated features should be slight against the overall investment &, when there is success, you have great satisfaction & joy!

A final thought: however difficult the last few days have been, it simply doesn’t compare to having to flee your home from persecution or war to seek refuge in a land far away. It’s heartwarming to have seen the empathy towards their plight from so many of you. 3/4

Worth bearing in mind, this is what the BBC said to me in 2020 when Andrew Neil was being a shouty, right-wing pile on orchestrator on Twitter.
Compare and contrast.

BBC 5 Live presenter @TherealNihal ‘s Instagram post will resonate with many current and former BBC employees. An essential reading if you want to understand why the Lineker saga is so polarising. Nihal should be applauded for speaking out.
