Niall Donald talking about how Jim Gavin ripped him off included the truest, most Irish statement I’ve ever heard in my life, like this absolutely would be what your friends would say to you in these circumstances

I’m heading to a conference for cochlear implant recipients in Brussels next week. Here’s a noisysilence.ie excerpt on last year’s conference. This year, I’ll be talking about a researcher’s perspective on getting a CI (&, hopefully, preventing people from needing them) ciicanet.org/wp-content/u...

Am actually quite moved to read the thoughts of the actors and director about Leonard and Hungry Paul.

I honestly never expected any of this. I was just typing away for my own entertainment and a book popped out.

Leonard and Hungry Paul cast and Director on telling a story about kindness, friendship, and the quiet heroism of everyday life -

The feel-good series stars Alex Lawther, Laurie Kynaston and Jamie-Lee O’Donnell, with Julia Roberts as narrator

A small fire at the front of the bookshop was started last night after rubbish bags that were awaiting collection were set on fire. The guards don’t have reason at this time to believe it was a targeted attack. Thankfully the damage was limited and everyone is safe. We are open for business as usual

A few online orders or in-store book purchases would be a nice way to support Books Upstairs after this horrible attack. Who does this? To an independent book shop?

Zotero is spectacular. Open source reference management software that just works. Way better than the paid alternatives and a great way to collaborate with group libraries. Also, R is joyous for stats nerds in many health-related fields.
