Hooray! #IncredibleJourneys/#Supernavigators is the Sunday Times best nature book of 2019! According to @aholgate it’s “stuffed with stories of animal ingenuity, and of the scientists trying to work out how they do it.” Can’t really disagree. thetimes.co.uk/article/sunda…

Why have the Guardian & Observer's journalists voted overwhelming to go on strike? I've attempted to summarise our concerns, the reports so far & why a Scott Trust board meeting tomorrow is a pivotal moment for press freedom & the future of journalism.
