Talking Down Under

This morning I gave a short talk at the “Astronomy Tea” at the Sydney Institute for Astronomy. No prizes for guessing what I talked about. The talk was followed by questions and then by a huge thunderstorm.

    Your slides say, “Global revenues of the academic publishing industry amount to about €28 billion [presumably the thousand million kind of billion] per annum.” For context, the NSF (2023) budget, which pays some of this, is $9.8 billion.
