Home librarian with gigantic 'waiting to be read' book pile. Enthusiastic and shamless reposter. Any of my own photos posted are taken with the little phone cam only, no effects added.

Medieval landlords regularly collected eels as rent. But they didn't always eat them. Sometimes they bought things w/ their eels.
In the early 1200s the Ramsey monks rented a local causeway at the yearly rate of 1 pair of scarlet pants, 2 pounds of pepper & ginger, & 1,000 eels.

When will this crisis get any attention whatsoever!? A THOUSAND ACADEMIC STAFF AT ONE INSTITUTION SERVED REDUNDANCY RISK NOTICES! And that's not counting what's surely being visited on professional services staff too. This is an economic catastrophe, to say nothing of the intellectual catastrophe!
Ongoing decimation of British universities part 252:
Apx. 1000 academic staff at University of Essex just received formal ‘risk of redundancy’ letters via email.

Great take. We looked at the data a few weeks ago and concluded that other than starting early, this year's dynamics are comparable to previous bad seasons. Our scenario models suggest a peak in infections (not hospitalisations which lag 1/2 weeks) in early/mid December.

This piece really resonates with me and my exact story — I don’t come from a science background, but decided to chase my passion. It took a lot of hard work (basically restarting from scratch) but previous experience across industries gave me the right tools to persist through challenges.
