A valid DOI includes a slash: the part before the slash indicates the registrant, and the part after it is the suffix that indicates which item managed by the registrant is actually referred to [1].
There are also too many logos that look like the new logo. The first blue circle logos that spring to mind are Blue Circle Cement/Tarmac/Lafarge [1] and Oxford Nanopore [2].
(The generic sans-serif font is also visually similar to many logos)

It would be fair to say that academics demanded increases to their salaries (to limit how far they fell below inflation), but not that they demanded tuition fees be increased to achieve this.
See this policy briefing from the UCU on "Tuition fees in higher education" from May 2010 [1]: whilst bodies representing the universities supported increases in fees, the position of the UCU union (representing the academics, rather than the universities) was that tuition fees should be abolished and replaced by a Business Education Tax:
> University and College Union has consistently opposed the payment of tuition fees. Rather than charge students for their education, UCU would charge large employers who benefit from the plentiful supply of graduates through a new Business Education Tax (BET).
It's really not the case that lecturers wanted to stuff their pockets by price-gouging their students.

> the "strike" was ended by the simple expedient of allocating nearly all the new money to wage increases for lecturers
This makes it sound like the money from tuition fee rises went to the academics as pay. It didn't: they've now had real terms pay cuts for over a decade (here's one estimate [1]), as well as their pensions becoming worse.
The tripling of the price cap occurred in 2010; there was a strike in 2013 because university staff had had a real-terms pay cut of 13% in the 4 years from 2008-2013 [2].
It would also be more accurate to say that universities and vice-chancellors (rather than "academics") pushed for a raise in fees.

(A mathematician might object to this on several grounds, such as that vectors/matrices/tensors are geometric objects which need not be expressed numerically as coordinates in any coordinate system)
For people who want a React wrapper around pdf.js, there are open source alternatives such as react-pdf: https://github.com/wojtekmaj/react-pdf
I think the relevant part of the "Exceptions to the Rule" section on that page is:
> The use of less to modify ordinary plural count nouns (as in "made less mistakes") is pretty rare in writing and is usually better avoided, though it does occur frequently in speech.
The exceptions (refering to distances/sums of money/units of time and weight/ statistical enumerations, phrases like "or less", and uses of "less" immediately following a number) aren't relevant here.
But both are "fine" in that they will be correctly understood.
Usually this is because the repo is private (rather than because it doesn't exist).
Sometimes this is a genuine mistake: people may use a private repo because they're concerned about a competing researcher seeing their work and scooping them, and intend to make it public once their paper has been accepted but forget.
Instead, it sounds like you arbitrarily decided to use 2 examples to pick a selection threshold for the "price to square foot" at which you'd accept a property.

"far more than the juniors" is quite misleading: junior doctors only make less than £40k during the two Foundation Years immediately after graduating; they make more than that as soon as they start their Core and Specialty training [1] (and this is ignoring any supplemental Banding payments).
Once they've completed specialty training and transitioned from being a Junior Doctor to a Consultant (which, admittedly, takes several years, and involves considerable responsibility) they're on a minimum of £84k [2] (not counting any extras like Clinical Excellence Award payments, which can go up to £77k). If they become a GP instead of a consultant, pay is more complicated, as GPs have traditionally been Partners in a practice, though an increasing proportion are Salaried employees instead.

In the past, the BBC certainly has been in the business of "hosting contrarians", though perhaps with the misguided intention of providing balance rather than attracting viewers.
For example, OFCOM found them to have broken broadcasting standards by allowing Lord Lawson (a well-known climate change denialist) to make false statements on the Today Program [1, 2] without being challenged or corrected. This happened despite a complaint being upheld about a previous appearance of the same guest on the same program [3].

There's also an introductory textbook about ODEs ("Exploring ODEs") that uses chebfun [2] throughout.
As well as the original MATLAB implementation, there are now implementations in Julia, Python, and some other languages [3].
For me it's an easy choice, as the Dev One is "Available for purchase in the U.S. only." [1]
The HP Dev One also has a webcam that is 720p (whereas the one in the Framework is 1080p), and doesn't seem to have a fingerprint reader.
(e.g., GPs have told me that GP-led telephone triage can in some cases be cheaper than nurse-led triage for Out of Hours calls, because the GPs can use their greater experience to be less conservative)
Unfortunately this requires having enough such clinicians available...
Martin Wattenberg and Fernanda Viégas were appointed as professors at Harvard [1], but they had been working in industrial labs that published lots (IBM Research and Google Research), and are also very good at what they do.

When considering who to hire as an academic, the panel will candidates based on factors including their previous research output, ability to teach students, and ability to attract funding (as well as having a clear plan for their research).
Having evidence of these would be useful.
Publications in top-tier journals or conferences would show that you are able to actually do research.
Giving a guest lecture as part of a university course might be useful as evidence that you can teach; the right lecturer might appreciate an offer to give a lecture that provides a more industrial/applied view on topics covered in the course.
Being involved in a successful bid for an R&D grant from your national government or the EU would also be helpful.
