[It's Freezing in LA! Magazine @itsfreezinginla]

🚨 #sciencetwitter! We are a mag about climate change, currently taking submissions for our 4th issue.

We have lots of wonderful art/lit pitches, but we'd love to hear from more scientists who want to write about their field and the environment.

Details in pinned post.

[University of Oxford @UniofOxford]

UK emissions may have decreased by up to 93%, thanks to policies 🚙
This drastic improvement has led to huge reductions in air pollution and associated mortality rates, a long term study, including @ecioxford, has shown: https://t.co/ZRiFRcv36F @climateclare1 @stefan_reis

"I'm so sad that you're doing this. You will have a diminished role on the world stage, your economy will suffer, it will have a huge impact on society"

Jacqueline Glomski closes #17centlibs symposium! What a hugely rich and thought provoking few days - thank you to everyone who spoke, chaired, and attended, and especially to Jacqueline and Robyn Adams @dr_allotment for organising

[Georgia Evans @gmayevans]

@livesandletters Directory to be online, flexible, and open-ended. Sounds hugely exciting!! Can't wait to see where this project goes #17centlibs @livesandletters

[Georgia Evans @gmayevans]

Final talk of the #17centlibs symposium! David Pearson speaking on 'A Directory of 17th century English book owners' @livesandletters

[Georgia Evans @gmayevans]

@livesandletters What should the format of this directory look like? Pearson envisages it built around a backbone of names with personal info, details of book markings, book locations and bibliographies #17centlibs @livesandletters

[Georgia Evans @gmayevans]

@bodleianlibs Scholars have only recently recognised travelling libraries for what they are - tantalising to think there may be more #17centlibs @livesandletters

[Georgia Evans @gmayevans]

Francesca Galligan of @bodleianlibs now speaking on the 'Travelling Library' of Charles I #17centlibs

[Georgia Evans @gmayevans]

@bodleianlibs Later travelling libraries were divided into three shelves based on subject, and often indicated by coloured tags! #17centlibs

[Georgia Evans @gmayevans]

@Cambridge_Uni @livesandletters Herbert had two libraries - one in London and one at his family seat, Montgomery Castle, and seems to have kept them separate. One a courtier's library, and one for scholarly study - the distinction betweem the 'busy streets of London and rolling hills of Wales'! #17centlibs

[Georgia Evans @gmayevans]

And it's the final panel of #17centlibs! Starting with Dunstan Roberts @Cambridge_Uni speaking on the books of Lord Herbert of Cherbury @livesandletters

[Georgia Evans @gmayevans]

@Cambridge_Uni @livesandletters 'His Library was an ornament thereto and abundantly replenisht with books of his own purchasing and choyce' - intrigued to hear more!

[Georgia Evans @gmayevans]

@wschool @livesandletters So encouraging to see @wschool are working to make more information about their collections available online - i will try to follow up with the link!

[Georgia Evans @gmayevans]

Final talk of the panel from Elizabeth Wells, archivist @wschool on the libraries of Richard Busby and John Pell #17centlibs @livesandletters

[Georgia Evans @gmayevans]

@wschool @livesandletters Drawing distinctions between the two collections, Pell's library reflects personal interest and use (as in the cutouts from geometry books below) while Busby appears to have been more of a collector

[Georgia Evans @gmayevans]

@Girlinthe @RCPLondon @UniOfYork The survey can conclude that most books in the Dorchester library remain in the RCP library, and most of the corpus can demonstrably be linked to Dorchester

[Georgia Evans @gmayevans]

Next talk from Katie Birkwood @Girlinthe, rare books librarian @RCPLondon and Ed Potten @UniOfYork on the Dorchester Library

[Georgia Evans @gmayevans]

@Girlinthe @RCPLondon @UniOfYork A rapid survey of Dorchester's library can give us an insight into his book collecting MO - purchasing collections in bulk, including from the Saunder family
