A new weekly curated newspaper #learningcities weekly was launched this week.  A trial edition came out yesterday (Wednesday) and the full editions will appear every week from now on.  The idea of #learningcities weekly is to bring together in one place all references to #learningcities on Twitter in the previous week and provide easy access to a range of material on one of PASCAL's main themes.

A notice of the publication of each edition will appear on the PASCAL Twitter page (@obspascal), or you can find it at www.paper.li/obspascal/144044718 . You canalsoregister on the page to have each copy sent to your mailbox.  Your feedback would be welcome.

Last week was the week when PASCAL passed the 2000 mark in our number of twitter followers.  Thank you to each and everyone for following us.  If you are not already on twitter please consider joining and adding to our follower count.  You will find a links to a wide range of materials. news and information relating to PASCAL themes drawn from around the globe.

Please note we are always looking out for people interested in becoming correspondents for PASCAL, to provide comment and assessments prompted by materials on the website or in PASCAL social media, and post these on the website.  \please get in touch if youwould like to try your hand.
