In Lisbon for the #GLAMWikiPT and have already been to amazing talks on #openknowledge and #education.
Great workshop on #gender with @yclepit.bsky.social.
Great tour of the Museum of Lisbon too!
The theme of #resilience seems particularly appropriate this year.

We cannot change the profession all at once, in one big sweep. But we can create a few spaces where things work as we would want them to. Hoping that people notice that good is possible and our micro-utopias catch on. #philsky #academicsky
