Personally, I'm a bit confused as to why they're talking about turning Usher's Island into a hostel while abandoning the Ormond instead of refurbishing the Ormond into a functioning hotel (or hostel) while converting Usher's Island into some sort of Joyce venue. It feels all very topsy-turvy. 🤷

Can confirm. Passed by the place today and saw that a generic graffiti has taken its place.

"The counting of papers indexed by large-scale bibliometric databases [...] creates a strong incentive for researchers to publish in these journals, and thus reinforces the control of commercial publishers on the scientific community."

"Young researchers need to publish in prestigious journals to gain tenure, while older researchers need to do the same in order to keep their grants, and, in this environment, publishing in a high impact Elsevier or Springer journal is what ‘counts’."

Congratulations!! (I hope you're keeping well!)
