Your academic voice is unique. Don't sacrifice clarity for complexity or personality for formality. The best academic writing is distinctly yours.

So sad to hear about the passing of Rob Reiner and his wife. He directed my all time favourite film ever, When Harry Met Sally and of course, the iconic Princess Bride. Awful news.

A newly discovered medieval document is the earliest to suggest the Shroud of Turin may have been a fake.

The document is a "significant dismissal of the Shroud" by Norman theologian Nicole Oresme and also traces the Shroud's journey in the 1300s.
