Can tell it's been a successful #BAAS2026 conference when, at the end of the final day, the pen gives up the ghost with note taking.

"We can pay women less here in the UK because they are paid less in other countries" isn't the stunningly powerful argument that the ECB seems to think it is. www.bbc.co.uk/sport/cricke...
"We are totally committed to moving towards gender parity in salaries, but The Hundred exists in a global landscape and we have to be competitive within that," said an ECB spokesperson.

"We are excited about private investment benefitting the whole game and helping us accelerate our journey towards gender parity for pay in The Hundred".

Never let it be said that the discourse of American exceptionalism has gone out of fashion. Though I might object to the phrasing "far more exceptional than ever before"

my students in the last decade have become teachers, barristers, lawyers, civil servants, midwives, ICU nurses, journalists, accountants, academics, advertising execs, museum curators, TV producers… because we give them broad skills. If I had to train them to do *a job* they’d all be historians.
