A very good report from Inside HigherEd which unearths a lot of details about Walter Lewin's harassment of women in his MITx MOOC.

One of the difficulties that stands in the way of anybody who wants to do anything about the extortionate cost of scientific journals is lack of information: the big publishers insist on confidentiality clauses, so that we do not know what our universities are paying for their journals (though all the evidence is that it is a huge amount). The post linked to below is rather long, but the gist of it is that I have been trying to collect information about Elsevier. If you're in a hurry, then almost certainly the part you'll find most interesting is the result of Freedom of Information requests I made to 24 top British universities. Amazingly, 18 of them (and counting) ended up telling me what they are paying per year. Also, one of them gave the information to somebody else, so we know about 19. I hope that this is just the start. I especially hope that people in other countries with FOI legislation will try to use it.
I do recommend reading some of the accompanying explanation as well as the figures themselves, as it is possible to jump to incorrect conclusions if all you have to go on is the raw numbers. But the raw numbers are quite interesting ...

Some pics from Prime Minister Modi visit to our Institute today. He participated in several events before he arrived for lunch at the Reception Hall of our Main Building. Most of the pics here are from before the lunch, with the final few just after the lunch -- you can see some of our faculty members taking selfies with him!
