🎃🔬 Science, even in Halloween Town!
My favorite scene in The Nightmare Before Christmas is when Jack Skellington throws himself into the scientific method, experimenting, testing, and questioning the world around him to understand Christmas.

Open Access Week (October 20–26, 2025) Who Owns Our Knowledge?
This year’s theme asks a pointed question about the present moment:
👉 In a time of disruption, how can communities reassert control over the knowledge they produce?
