Self-portrait. A little thing I wrote about myself.
Self-portrait
This is the second episode in English. My self-portrait, ready to be rolled up in a golden sleeve. I'll ship it off to the hands of everyone daring to love me.

Happy 10th Anniversary to the JOHD: openhumanitiesdata.metajnl.com. It's wonderful to celebrate open access to humanities data as supported by this journal. And thank you for inviting me to speak about our work www.hiddenheritages.ai where we provide access to digitised Irish and Gaelic folktales.

This is such an interesting perspective.
Go read the article, it's absolutely worth it.

These are stunning!
Open science is not just for researchers. Artist @kindracrick.com created these beautiful neuron portraits with inspiration from Ramón y Cajal's drawings and reference images from our Cell Types Database.

Not that I don't appreciate people speaking up for #OpenScience, but I can't help but notice that a lot of the advocacy nowadays looks exactly what it looked like 5 or perhaps even 10 years ago. /

"The app logic can help with data literacy" - I really like this, because it shows once again that a technical solution without a framework around it that makes sense and it's capable of answering questions and meeting users needs - is worth ZERO. @sarapetti.bsky.social at #csvconf #csvconfv9

I must admit I have never come across this argument before, but I might understand where it stems from. Engineers are trained to solve problems while philosophers and social scholars are trained to think around values.
Guess what? You can definitely do both.
Among all the weird takes that seem to be popular online, the one that always gets me is that studying STEM somehow morally corrupts people and the solution is to make people additionally go through a humanities and/or social science curriculum at the university level.
