Our university has imposed a phone-only ID system. Makes me think that this simply encourages risk to them in interactions with the police.
Your Data Will Be Used Against You.

Don’t ever hand your phone to the cops

Public Health officials and infectious disease experts in Canada:
Take a bow.
You did it.
You've let #measles come back. Andrew Wakefield must be so proud.
You refused to accept #CleanAir recommendations from experts (and non-experts) from outside your insular little community.

It's official: Canada has lost its measles elimination status because of an outbreak that has persisted for more than 12 months. Country can regain status only if on-going spread is of measles interrupted for more than a year. www.cbc.ca/news/health/... via @cbcnews.ca

As I see more and more people being let go here at the university, and their work being shoved into other peoples' portfolios to shrivel up and waste away, I think I'd like us to consider maybe ditching software licences and subscriptions instead.

The use of AI by journal editors has further frustrated the science-publishing 'industry' (and don't get us started on everything else that is wrong with it)
After this next year of submitting/publishing, I am committed to slowing down until it gets better

Does anyone have a good academic resource for citation counting best practices? I'm trying to include some counts for a project but numbers between e.g., Google Scholar and Web of Science are wildly different (can't access Scopus through my institution).
