It's tough being in higher education in the UK for students and staff. Course cuts, redundancies and so tough for young people to get a foot on the academic ladder. So just wanted to share this good news concerning my son, Stefan. We know the huge amount of hard work that goes into your research.

Kindness is in pretty short supply in many parts of the modern world. So, it was refreshing to research the philanthropic work that recently crowned Aussie Open tennis champion Madison Keys has been involved in. 1/4

Here's wishing triathlete Alistair Brownlee good luck in retirement. His legacy goes beyond sport as he and brother Jonny set up the Brownlee Foundation a few years ago to encourage young people from all backgrounds to enjoy sport and lead healthy lifestyles.

Anyone else in awe at the brilliance of the latest A House Through Time series, fronted by the masterly David Olusoga? One thing struck me watching series 5 (two cities at war) was the effort made after WW2 to save archives for posterity. Without such diligence, this prog wouldn't be possible. 1/3
