No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition.
Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

She made key contributions to US cold-war science despite facing huge barriers as a Black woman.

I've had 36 published with a few publishers and self-published, but I have about 60 that I have put away due to no interest from publishers and readers, and no time to finish them.
Hey authors -- I'm curious. For various reasons, we usually only see the highlight reals on social media, but how many novels have you trunked over your career? Especially post first published book?

The absurdity of universities trying to 'woo' an avowedly anti-intellectual party. One that considers education to be a liability. One whose other policies run counter to all understanding that the last 50 years of research has established.
One that will crush them as a spectacle for their voters.

'Reform is thought to be increasing its engagement with all sectors as it prepares a detailed manifesto, with advocacy groups – including those representing universities – told to submit their key points to the party’s growing policy team.'
Universities try to woo Reform as party gains ground

I hadn't heard from any of the abused before on coverage of Epstein. I hadn't gone looking, but the general coverage is quite 'technical' and 'legal' in tone.

The 450,000 objects were uncovered & recorded as part of well planned & meticulous excavations. They are linked to records of the contexts they were found in. Because of this, they will contribute to a substantial new body of understanding about England & its pasts from a 10 yr research programme.
'The 450,000 objects, which are being held in a secret warehouse, include a possible Roman gladiator's tag, a hand axe that may be more than 40,000 years old and 19th Century gold dentures.'
