We’re heading to #OSFair2025
Together with the European e-Infrastructures Assembly, we’ll be at CERN with a joint booth and a shared mission: to help shape a more open, inclusive, and connected future for research and #openscience
📅 Register by 31 July:

Conference vignette 👀: #OpenScience is about much more than #OpenData. Presenting unpublished work is also Openness, as social science alumna Dr. Ros Attenborough reminded us. And if you can share that way, then...
In the Presidential symposium, another lab alumnus introduced a mouse protein that massively affected the clock ⏰ . His group found it through an ambitious phosphoproteomic 🧪 candidate selection approach on a cell line 🧫 , looking beyond the canonical idea of the clockwork (TTFL in the jargon). Canonical here means canonised by a Nobel prize.
A good friend from Japan explained in the Q&A that his group had just found the SAME gene in a genetic screen of mice 🐁with altered sleep patterns 🐁💤🛌. We know the clock controls sleep. So, independent evidence across continents.👍
Over dinner they started to coordinate how they would each publish their work. #Science working.

Great read by Sarahanne Field and Madeleine Pownall:
Subjectivity is a Feature, not a Flaw: A Call to Unsilence the Human Element in Science
#OpenScience includes practices such as #reflexivity in order to increase the transparancy of the research process.

Hilariously, this one is pay-walled! #openscience #nature

Let's use Hanlon's Razor, and assume good faith in that the #inaturalist staff just needs a bit of help for how one could actually share decision-making power with a large online community.
To do that, I've written up some ideas of how other online communities (in #citizenscience, #openscience and beyond) have gone about doing that.

Together with the Faculty of Applied Science Open Science Team, from the TU Delft (still not on mastodon...) we published a chapter on how to start your own Open Science Team in the #OpenScience Cookbook:

Thanks to @…, Sebastian Weingärtner, Xuehang Wang and Gerard Castro-Linares, for sharing their experiences in a reusable manner :)

I am looking for inspiring examples of outreach and marketing activities of #OpenScience initiatives or services.
Any help would be appreciated! 💜

Nice! adrienne maree brown as a keynote speaker for #OpenEd25 ! I'm curious to what she'll have to say regarding #OpenScience / #OpenEducation!

"Ultimately, engaging the public enriches our scholarship. It pushes us to think more carefully about clarity, ethics, and relevance. It also ensures that the knowledge we produce contributes to a wider societal good, affirming the role of the university not just as a place of knowledge production, but also of public service."
