On the Passing of Tom Lehrer
This week mathematician, teacher and celebrated musician Tom Lehrer passed away at the ripe old age of 97. We look back at his impact as both an entertainer and a man of the sciences.

An Ode to Yorkshire
They call it God's own Country. Among the stereotypes of England, it ranks up there with Shakespeare, Dickens, Tea & Biscuits, top hats and a very particular brand of dentistry.
Why Yorkshire? Isn't this account about Attention Scores and Memes?
Couple of reasons.

I'm not saying you should judge a book by its cover, yet when I saw this how could I resist? Luckily so far Alan Moore's "The Great When" is worth it #Booksky

THREAD: Research we should be thankful for.
The chances that we and everyone we know and love would be here today, alive, healthy and thriving without the advances of science and technology are basically zero.
Today we look through the research and scientists to whom we owe everything.

A quick break from the world of metrics.
In early 2017 at the Altmetric London office, a chat started up about the "Top 1 music album" preferences of the Altmetric Team. What was our special listen? This was before we used Slack, so the thread itself is lost. But I kept a Spotify Playlist!

Good morning Skywalkers,
Today we look at celebs who also published research. Naturally a large chunk of the attention these items receive is related to the fame of their authors.
Hence we will be accusing every single one of these stars of gaming their Altmetric Attention Score.

Current estimates say that every prompt you give a generative "AI" system— not each session, every PROMPT— is like pouring a 16 oz bottle of water onto the ground.
This is a fact that goes somewhere in every talk i give, now, & i always see audience members looking it up… and then looking horrified

Annoyed by articles that go into great detail about what companies say they're doing with so-called "A.I." but do not ask what companies are doing about the technology's ecological impact.
