I had such a wonderful time on Thursday celebrating the centenary of The Women’s Library and the launch of the exhibition. It was a privilege to contribute a plinth on the Six Point Group. Grateful to @gillianmurphy.bsky.social and @lselibrary.bsky.social for this brilliant opportunity and event! 🎉

We're planning an exhibition to mark the centenary of The Women's Library next year. We'd like to feature collections and research that people are working on currently. Please get in touch and let us know.

What do people do with open access article licensing in the era of AI? I usually pick CC BY NC ND but this now allows for ‘text and data mining or your works’ which I don’t want. Is this… too bad for me? Or are there alternatives I should choose?

Closing this week - but if you are worried about books not arriving on time, just email me!

Chris Woakes sees Lucy Bronze and raises her….

Unexpected consequence of euros is that Lucy Bronze is now my internal comparator. If I think ‘I can’t be bothered to go for a run’ she pops up in my brain to say ‘I played the whole tournament with a fractured tibia’. ‘I can’t be bothered to do that bit of work’.’WHOLE TOURNAMENT. FRACTURED TIBIA.’
