A discourse of 'fairness' has emerged in open-access circles in recent years. It has come from a sense that big, for-profit publishers have not played 'fairly' with libraries over the past 30 years. It is unsurprising. These large publishers make margins of 35%+ on billions of dollars of revenue, even while library budgets stagnate.

There was some research earlier this year that I thought was apt for the pandemic, showing that realism is key to being happy, not optimism or pessimism.

My Ph.D. supervisors were not particularly hands on. This was not slacking on their part -- it suited me just fine and they could see that I had the thesis project in hand. There was a lesson from one of my supervisors that I will never forget, though. I was writing my first conference paper proposal/abstract. I felt it wasn't quite right and asked for his advice.

I usually start my New Year's resolutions on the 28 th or 29 th December. I do this because I don't like the season of excess; I come out of it feeling unfit, bloated, unstructured etc. Last year's resolutions went somewhat down the pan as the pandemic blew everything away. This year, I have some personal goals: 1. I put on 7kg during the pandemic. I want to lose this. 2. I will achieve this by upping my exercise.
