For #histsci friends: I'm saddened to find that children's book Laika the Canine Cosmonaut is 'the most obscure' of the hundreds of books I've read #KindleUnlimited10 (During lockdown home-schooling, it was a valuable resource for a project. Did no one else do that project?)

For those working on Diamond #OA: I found it remarkable how good some of the 1950s/60s editors were at persuading institutions to support their journal with both financial and in-kind support. Easier times? And/or skills that have been lost in the age of mega-publishers?.
Those interested in learned society journals - including finances, unpaid labour, in-kind support - might be interested in our article on the business history of @IsisJournal #histsci.

Glad to see Rob Johnson's piece on the likely costs of non-profit #OA publishing - which could be taken to mean that we should encourage non-profit #OA not because it will be cheaper, but because it's the Right Thing to do (on @LSEImpactBlog )

Very proud mum moment last night at @edintfest: two daughters on stage with @NYCOScotland and @philharmonia for a stunning performance of Julia Wolfe's Fire in my Mouth. Voices, velcro and violins combined to tell a devastating story of emigration, labour protest, and tragedy.
What an honour to host this UK premiere last night ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ .'Trailblazing' (New York Times) conductor Marin Alsop, the Philharmonia Orchestra & the female voices of NYCOS came together for Julia Wolfe’s Fire in my mouth. 📷 Jess Shurte/Edinburgh International Festival
