Just in case my work-related posts may be misunderstood: I am not living this moment as if it were business-as-usual. It’s everything but, and all efforts and energy go into organising resistance. What are the tools at my disposal? #philsci #savedemocracy

Today colleagues of the Italian Reproducibility Network and Open Science Society convene in Verona - I look forward to meeting old and new peers and learning from their projects #philsci #openscience

A truly fantastic piece Ramon, I enjoyed the exchange enormously and argued back for the need to rescue intelligence from anti-human AI, it’s too important a notion to both human and non-human interactions with the world - see this rejoinder hdsr.mitpress.mit.edu/pub/c5hq3by1.... #philsci

How to conceptualise research environments for transdisciplinary work? How do researchers negotiate such spaces, and with which implications for knowledge produced? @rosetrappes.bsky.social and I answered by proposing the idea of "multiplex research environments"! See: rdcu.be/eN8ie #philsci

Loved it of course, and so grateful you took the time to write this Shannon! You’ll see my response in my rejoinder also online now: hdsr.mitpress.mit.edu/pub/c5hq3by1...

So glad you sent us your wonderful proposal, and very much looking forward to hosting you in Munich Marianne!

Me too Dmitry, thank you!

Great thanks Manlio - and good thing i posted then! This teaching term is very intense so I lose track of advertising such things to great colleagues as I should 😅

The location is unparalleled at the just renovated Botanical Gardens with their illustrious history.. I look forward to this and am so thankful to colleagues from the library of the University of Padova for organising all this!
