@DoctorCPhillips This is just a reflection of the value that society now places on knowledge that doesn't directly make their lives easier, or that doesn't result in them getting more cheap stuff.

We've had feedback over the last week that some people are unhappy with our plan to offer up to 14 scholarships to refugees living in the local area. To these people, we would like to say: Tough. Jog on. https://t.co/ioDLPp5crw

Fascinating 1731 #map of #Scotland showing #clans and their territories, including the number of men who joined the 1715 Rising. It shows the military strength of the #Jacobites in the turbulent years leading up to the Battle of #Culloden.

A blog post of mine for the @GilbertWhites Museum, on the world of 18th c. Selborne, where Gilbert White became a pioneering naturalist. A world where wildlife abounded in Hampshire that is now locally extinct, and so quiet you can hear a signal cannon from 23 miles away! https://t.co/96qhkLceeW
