My @humetricshss.bsky.social heart loves @mhmdhsini.bsky.social's call to always return to #openscience values. #CMUOSS25
#OpenScience cannot survive if access depends on corporate servers and private companies. There should be public support independent of corporate structures. It can help us but hinders more the helps given how it's structured right now. Don't forget #OpenScience #CMUOSS25 VALUES.

The second session of our #cmuoss25 open science symposium is underway, with a focus on #AI and #openscience. @cmu.edu
Gen AI consumes #openscience as raw fuel - how do we avoid losing that value to private, closed, corporate benefit only? It's a catch 22. #CMUOpenScience Mohammad Hosseini speaking on #openscience in #GenAI. Really dilemmas we have to address head on.

My course about birding & creative code is also secretly (shhhh) a course about critical data thinking.
Which is one of the most important skills you could possibly cultivate in this age of AI and misinformation.

Back in April, the IMLS grant @library.cmu.edu had secured for POEM—the Project on Open and Evolving Metaliteracies—was canceled by the administration. Apparently, it no longer met agency priorities.

Our research confirms this. Climate change increases the need for air conditioning for people to not die in heat waves. We need clean energy. We need efficient buildings. We need green infrastructure. We need more of this that most folks can imagine. We should start building it all right now.
I’ve read a lot of research on air conditioning, heat waves, and mortality, and there’s extremely strong consensus among actual experts about “we need to expand global access to air conditioning at the same time as we engage in other sustainable measures, like better architecture and green spaces.”
