Moorland pottery. Unique each year - you have to complete all six races in the series to get one. The design this time is a thank you to the guy who processed all the results for the last 18 years
One of the most sought after prizes in amateur athletics. A moorland pottery mug unique to those who made all the races in this years Chingford League

Joke shop window in hull. Loads of old fashioned practical.jokes
Was amused to come across a shop selling all this stuff in Hull
Dancing is highly therapeutic- just don't sit down!
Went dancing with the not quite twenty child the other week. Other than being fit for nothing the next day - a good time was had by all. He went on somewhere after it finished at 1.30am mind!
Many people also have big gaps in their understanding and unchallenged assumptions about what their options are
Out of curiousity - what are the most effective outreach approaches that you use? Is RoI something you try and measure? Always interested in how people reach their users effectively
But I don't doubt the logistics would be awful
It varies by org here but looking across the system - if 100 hospital library teams each spoke to 1k people in a year that would represent a not insignificant part of the workforce. Doubtless it would hit higher proportions of the parts of the workforce with the higher evidence needs
A team of three that is dealing with 6k people in a hospital organisation
In my example you might be looking at talking to a quarter of the people in your organisation each year. The better informed people would also talk to their colleagues which is frequently powerful. The time to organise talking to people would be the bigger barrier I expect
May not sound big but if a team of three spoke to 30 individuals a week, even with time off, that would be well over a thousand people a year. Better informed people would tell other people and take that knowledge as they travelled. Half an hour would be enough for most users
Reviewing interviews with NHS staff about how they access & use evidence. My conclusion is we could effect massive change by each NHS librarian spending one hour a day asking individuals what evidence they need and how they currently access it and then offering some tailored help #medlibs 📚
That they were on the invite is the only saving grace
Today in the panopticon - a well known corporate AI tool tells someone who wasn't at a meeting that you were wondering if they had done something
Good to see this opening a bit again #Loughton #EppingForest more post boxes than you can imagine

Love it when you find a stealth spud
I hope there being a lot of it and quite specialised will help. Good luck
Worse / better
I did it a looooong time ago but found it helpful to put some structure around my development and provide an active way to consider how I was progressing post MSc. I am aware the process has changed since then so their mileage may vary
Ha! The original Lancet article on the dangers of reading in bed is here: doi.org/10.1016/S014...
I found the DCMS press release and it is super unclear how much money there actually is
Up to £150k so could be as much as £50
Good start the week read - Steve Harnad on open access (in general) and LLMs katinamagazine.org/content/arti...
Everyman Cinema goers - is the volume always cranked up on the music in the bar bit or is it just a Friday night thing? Went for "The Secret Agent" last night (v good) but can't imagine sitting in the bar comfortably at that volume
