The DfE have published guidance on reducing the spread of illness this Winter. Much of it focusses on things like handwashing & catching sneezes which WONāT stop airborne illnesses spreading. BUT Iām pleased to see a whole section on VENTILATION, CO2 MONITORING & AIR FILTERS.

We have people in power making broad claims around certain drugs and autism that have been continuously disproven. The degree to which those comments can undermine public health, do harm to women who are pregnant, create anxiety for parents who do have children who are autistic ā

An essay plagiarised by Gadaffi for the University of Libya in 1969 (he organised a coup instead of doing a resit: they clearly took plagiarism seriously there). Donated to @bodleianlibs by Michael Vickers of this faculty in 1986 (ph. by a friend). Amazing stuff.

In fact you donāt get to vote out the female employees/lanyard bossgirls at the National Trust AGM - they have employment rights like anyone else. But you do get to vote for our governing Council, and that feels important right now. Members can vote here
Enraging story and a good time to remind that the National Trust AGM is on the 8th Nov, the annual chance to vote out the lanyard bossgirls in favour of the marginally better Restore Trust.
