I loved a presentation of an academic paper a few weeks ago, but I said nothing. Positive voices in academia matter. If you like a paper, presentation, or you idea then tell the author. Too many great ideas are lost to negative comments and reviews. I will try not to make that mistake again.

Good gig bad photo is back. Lauren Mayberry and Wolffe at Leeds Brudenell Social Club.
