Cover of the Open@UCL newsletter. The central image features a group of awardees from the UCL Open Science Awards 2023, standing indoors and smiling at the camera while holding certificates. The background includes a wall and a small table. At the top of the cover, there is a purple header with the text "London's Global University" and "UCL," accompanied by an icon of a columned building. The bottom of the cover displays "Open@UCL Newsletter Issue 3, October 2024" against a purple background.

Oh, to be a man—to not have experienced the public harassment and stalking that makes women afraid of technology that allows strangers to find our names and home addresses while we simply exist in public.

This should be the case everywhere. The ‘buy now’ or ‘purchase’ wording is incredibly, and deliberately, misleading - you’re not buying or purchasing anything more than a licence to use, and most people are completely unaware of that.

Don't usually read biographies but I really enjoyed Grace Dent's Hungry and Katherine Ryan's The Audacity for their shared queendom. The author-narrated audiobooks are excellent

Of recent(ish) ones: LOVED both Penn Vogler books, Stuffed and Scoff. Murder: The Biography by Kate Morgan. Pop history ones Unruly by David Mitchell (get the audiobook!) and At Home by Bill Bryson. Show Me the Bodies, Peter Apps (MASSIVE trauma cw though!)
