  One of these items that makes me smirk. It comes from Northern Germany. But while it is probably recognisable, nobody in their right mind uses that contraction* Carrying it over the channel, people look at it and want to add a "Bah..." #CrossCultural Very useful for walking the #Highlands in summer, though! #Hamburg * It is not even the full #ConsonantSkeleton

  Exciting sighting on our way back from the #Highlands The RRS Sir David #Attenborough on its way to Iceland and beyond. Currently it is bringing an international team of researchers to Greenland for a six-week expedition to study how quickly the ice sheet’s rapidly melting fjord glaciers are pushing the Atlantic Ocean towards a critical climate #TippingPoint https://www.bas.ac.uk/news/researchers-head-to-greenland-for-ambitious-science-mission/ #Research #ClimateChange

  Camping for the first time during the heatwave in #Ballater resulted in people telling us that there are no nicer camping grounds in the UK and that the weather is not a representative UK camping experience. It was nice, though. 🤭 #Highlands #Gàidhealtachd

  "In retrospect, these strategies were a form of authorial self-preservation." Autoethnography of the rhetorical and emotional dimensions of writing about study limitations: https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/17470161251363704 The paper draws on 8 manuscripts, 17 drafts, 22 #PeerReview by the author, journal entries, and email exchanges. Interesting reflections & it illustrates the challenges and questions, especially if one has not written many manuscripts...

  Is it acceptable as a journal to set a standard threshold for acceptable levels of text overlap in submissions? #COPE very clear and brief: NO. https://publicationethics.org/guidance/cope-position/determining-acceptable-levels-plagiarismduplication #ResearchIntegrity #AcademicPublishing #NightshiftEditor

  A find in #BirsayBooks Allegedly out of Jim Baikie's estate. No proof. Great story, though. Jim Baikie https://orkneymuseums.co.uk/orkney-artist-jim-baikie/ Bisay #Books https://www.birsaybooks.co.uk/ The intros by David Lloyd (1990) and Alan Moore (1988) are harrowing reads. Even by the standards of the story itself. "...and one can only speculate as to witch minority will be the next to legislated against." #Orkney #Arcaibh #Comics #GraphicNovel #Reading
