Missing from the coverage of redundancies at Edinburgh: this was done in such a haphazard, uncoordinated way, there are now core teams who have gone from 5 people to 1 with no change in workload or pressure and huge loss in knowledge of institutional process. www.heraldscotland.com/news/2576321...
Hundreds of staff leave Edinburgh University amid cuts drive
According to the university, 345 of these departures were the result of a targeted voluntary severance (VS) scheme run by the institution in 2025.

I'm organising this panel discussion for the (ex)Turing Humanities and Data Sciences group. Successful project owners will discuss the past and future of merging STEM and SHAPE disciplines. Book via the link to join us either in-person in Oxford (the Bodleian is quite a venue tbh) or online.
On 25th Sept, the Humanities & Data Science Turing special interest group will discuss their work and showcase new pathways for collaboration. Find out more about this hybrid event, hosted by the Centre for Digital Scholarship, Bodleian Libraries: digitalscholarship.web.ox.ac.uk/event/networ...

‼️New paper alert ‼️TL/DR: To make the preservation worthwhile, we should think of #webarchives both as data and as a creative engagement resource to ensure access and usability. What helps with this is not the collection itself but its metadata. openhumanitiesdata.metajnl.com/articles/10....
