This is great 2 see. Might also try and get my Mum to go. She spent most of her working life at the Open University & likes to talk about open/distance/lifelong learning above all else. In some ways nothing is more full of 'barriers' than an overly narrow focus on trad UG education 4 18-22 yr olds.

Although to be fair, as a lover of many things German (beer, bread, bike lanes, & indeed my wife), I have at times been given only 2 choices at the other end of this story: pork with potatoes or, if you really want to mix it up, potatoes with pork. Plus a little parsley 4 special guests like you Jo.

Link also not working for me, but keen to read. Have a PhD student writing a chapter on this, but also a teenager & pre-teen at home. Screens % what's on them = a hot topic at home, as well as in every similar home we know. Sympathetic to bans here but curious about whether 2 target devices or apps.

Aha! This is excellent. Am watching the video from @excubs.bsky.social now! I think the only notable absence for me was Blockchain/crypto. Nothing about it anywhere unless I somehow missed it. A whole room praising the ECB and its powers of stabilisation but nothing on the new disruptors...

Sympathise with this, but maybe interesting to note one could take an entirely different line on the US women's team. They often (at least try to) represent an entirely different America. Can't see obvious equivalent in men's team of Megan Rapinoe. Also cant see men's team being half as successful.
