Is there an open-access survey platform that's like Qualtrics, but is free? Anything besides google forms? I'm putting together a list of research tools that increase access to the research process for people around the world (R, Jamovi, Zotero, etc.)

The @quantitude.bsky.social episode on probability inspired me to create a visual demo of the Monty Hall problem.
What’s the Monty Hall problem? It’s a probability scenario based on a 1960s gameshow. What’s fascinating is that the solution contradicts people’s intuitions about chance.

Journal fees for open access are becoming obscene. But what are we, scientists, paying for? I made a simple plot with journals in my research area(s). Clearly, we are paying for prestige: a shockingly clean correlation between the impact factor and journal fees
