A pair of U.K. scholars discovered the mislabeled document in Harvard Law School's digital archives. The university bought it for just $27.50 in 1946. It turned out to be an authentic copy dating to 1300.
Harvard learned it has an authentic Magna Carta. In 1946, it paid less than $28 for it

How would you reconcile news like this with news about university-related budget cuts like in the Netherlands?
Today, the ERC formally adopted a decision to increase its support for researchers moving to Europe.
On top of its normal grants, the ERC offers 'start-up' funding to help PIs establish laboratories / research teams in Europe.
This extra funding is now x2 (up to €2 million!)

I know I post a lot of Cornish sunsets, and I hope it isn’t boring. I do it in the hope it offers people a moment of calm. I took this a few summers ago in Carbis Bay. Pause for a moment and drift away on the warm breeze. May it soothe you from any anxiety. Rest well, my friends. 😊
