Just as a coda: the O'Reilly case is pretty parallel and interesting if you wanna read more (www.varsity.co.uk/news/26105 + 21percent.org?p=1035), and I think losing the position is about appropriate punishment for his sins so in an ideal world we'd leave Arday alone now by my reckoning.

Plagiarising professor stays in post and threatens student journalists

More than twelve pages of an article published under O’Reilly's name had been lifted almost word for word from two essays by one of his students

Monument to archaeologist Birthe Kjølbye-Biddle, within excavation of the Old Minster at Winchester she worked on from 1964. It is just S of site of the shrine of St Swithun in the E arm of 992/4, demolished under Bishop Wakelin 1093-4. Note her birthday was his feast: 15 July (pics taken last Sept)

Black polished stone with inset marble disc and cross at head, laid flat on grass, surrounded by modern brick marking out robbed foundations of Winchester Old Minster. Text: "Birthe Kjølbye-Biddle 15th July 1941 16 January 210 Archaeologist Excavator of Old Minster Wife of Martin Biddle Parents of Signe & Solvej" Flowers have been placed on the graveView of Winchester Cathedral from the NW, with the Romanesque transepts built in the 1080s and the nave as remodelled toward the end of the 14th century. The square set out centre in the centre is the platform for the site of St Swithun's shrine, from when the new E arm of the Old Minster was dedicated 992x4 to 15 July 1093 when his body was removed to the new Cathedral. Birthe's monument is just visible below and right of the fourth nave buttress from the east.

Rosamond McKitterick, my doctoral supervisor, has died. It is deeply unfair that someone so healthy should have been taken before her due time. But although I am sad, it is heartening to to think not just about the legacy left by her body of work...

... in other words, I've long known that much of the best research is done by people who aren't working in universities. But it's hard though - to make the time, to build a library, to gain the courage, to create the networks that you need. But it is possible. And aren't I proud of them!

This cause is close to my heart - genuinely, the amazing Salisbury Collection of Welsh history, language and literature was a major boon in completing my PhD: having this on open shelves was worth semi regular trips from Southampton, I’m forever in the library’s debt.
