Merry Christmas and a happy new year! I made this ‘card’ reusing a British Library Public Domain digitised image from 1868.

Third comic in what now has become a new experimental series, reusing public domain images from the British Library.

This morning I received a message from a colleague sharing they had tested positive and were feeling very poorly. In the last couple of months, I heard from family members, friends and colleagues and students who have tested positive too, sometimes for the second time (in one instance, for the third time). “Following Government guidance” has become an excuse for organisations of all types to abdicate their duty of care for their stakeholders.

I haven’t posted anything here in a while. The pandemic, changes in the social media ecosystem and a heavy workload have kept me away from this blog. I had forgotten I had handwritten these notes in one of my notebooks and I thought I’d type them up and share them here. They are based on my personal learning as a journal editor for over a decade.

Para Paty, Natalia y Camilla (salió en inglés).

New year. Starting from our own positions.

I’d like to dedicate this version to my mother and my sister, who are fluent in the languages of love, care, and mourning.

I hcreated an infographic showing the three interventions adivsed by SAGE: more people working from home, facemasks in crowded indoor spaces, and ventilation.

What does “learning to live with the virus” really mean?
