Interesting! I've not been told that. However, the vast majority of our publications are OA so maybe not so much of an issue. @lshtm.bsky.social is VERY pro-OA.

I publish the final search, not all of my drafts. They're published in our institutional repository (see datacompass.lshtm.ac.uk/view/creator...). I keep my drafts in OneNote - I don't keep in Word or Excel so I can easily copy/paste plain text if needed.

I've found podcasts where historians are interviewing other historians are better at the historiography side of things than those with non-historians interviewing historians, or the main presenters telling the story.

I like some of Suzannah Lipscomb's episodes in 'Not Just the Tudors' quite good. Occasionally she'll host a round-table talking in-depth about a topic with other historians. She has a lot of historians on and always asks geeky questions about sources.

That's even worse than a UK MP, responsible for negotiating our exit from the EU, admitting he didn't realise how much we imported using the Dover-Calais route. It's only the shortest crossing of the channel. 😲

Yesterday, I had the privilege of visiting the @lshtm.bsky.social & their beautiful Library. So pleased to be part of an @ahuauk.bsky.social programme with amazing colleagues including the wonderful Lesley Castens. Lovely to bump into David Archer, another brilliant colleague from the library world.
