46 articles and book chapters for me. The thing is, if Meta had licensed my work they wouldn’t have paid me - they would have paid Springer, Wiley et al. I am not saying it is right that they stole the work, it is just another layer of exploitation of creators.

I agree Edinburgh is terrible - all the more annoying that it has pulled routes away from Glasgow, which is much nicer. I expect it is cheaper for the airlines.
I think Stansted is worse tho… truly awful.

I didn’t know the Ontario science centre had closed ☹️. So many happy childhood memories from summers spent in Toronto. OSC blazed a trail for science museums around the world and the building is epic. I hope it can be saved and put to a use that respects the legacy.

“beans on toast, ngl, kinda gross” you are objectively and categorically wrong on this. Beans on toast is the perfect meal - breakfast, dinner, tea. Doesn’t matter which.

Thinking about it - it might not even have been under vacuum - we were testing culture from frozen grids to support use in a fib… I need to check. Anyhow the RSV didn’t make it…

I guess it depends on the pathogen in question - we found RSV didn’t survive warming to room temperature under vacuum in a side entry stage. A non enveloped virus might though.
