Today’s announcement on state pensions is important and welcome. There will be winners and losers in the short term and the long term, a combination of factors that clearly baffled John Humphries this morning. Whilst various interests will be tempted to focus on the losers I hope they – particularly the Opposition - think twice. There are few areas where the need for cross Party consensus is more important than pension policy.
Fellowship news
The RSA archive is pleased to announce their Transactions and Journals have been digitised and published online through JSTOR.
The Thematic working group of the Fellowship Council has set up a brief survey to establish the current extent of thematic activity taking place. If you lead a network, please complete the survey.
Are you a whizz with numbers? Experienced in finance and risk management? An opportunity has recently arisen for a Fellow with strong relevant experience to sit on the Audit & Risk Committee.

So how are we progressing with our new year resolutions? Fallen off the diet bandwagon yet? Exercise commitments already forgotton? Has the email inbox exploded from unread spam? Every year I await the media shower of new year commitments and ambitions. Magazines full of diet suggestions, clearing out your closet and managing your time more effectively. As my colleague Emma Lindley has already blogged its clear that we relish a blank page at the beginning of the year and in this digital world its harder than ever to do so (although there is always the reset button).

While minding my own business yesterday I received an unexpected call asking me to appear on The Today Programme to discuss the psychological underpinnings of why we waste so much food. They chose me with my Social Brain hat on, because they wanted to explore wider issues relating to people acting against their own self-interest and the nature of irrationality.

Having been such a misery about the world yesterday I can today be a ray of sunshine about the RSA.

I think it was Enoch Powell who said that a politician who complains about the media is like a fish complaining about the sea. The same is just as true for think tanks, so this isn't a complaint just a quick counterpoint to some of the gratifyingly widespread coverage of the Academies Commission report which was published today.
