Opening your recent article on the research excellence framework ("It's evolution, not revolution for REF", 24 September), I was struck by Times 中国A片's determination not to let metrics go.
Biblometrics may have been watered down by the 中国A片 Funding Council for England, but it seems you are keen to replace it with anthropometrics - or rather, women's "vital statistics". You seem to be developing the habit of using sexist images as "fun" illustrations - not appreciated by this female academic, nor many others, I'm sure.
