Such heartbreaking story, but also a lesson that siding with nationalists and tyrants only goes so far in keeping you safe. Because the moment they're done with one group, they find another. Your turn could be sooner if already a member of the 'Other'.

Oh no! In the nearly 18 months that I have used @duolingoverde.bsky.social intensely on a daily basis, today is the first time I've noticed it being down for maintenance. Good streak, Duolingo!👍🏾👏🏾 I give it to you.

Never watched The Traitors, but its concept mirrors our times: suspicion on all sides turns people into enemies—the "Other" undeserving of dignity. Fear takes over, and with it comes insensitivity. A game on TV, a crisis in real life.

Listening to @rouhiroo.bsky.social discuss #DefendResearch, you can feel the palpable need for action. Check it out and contribute however small. Sara nevertheless warns to not feel pressure to do so: do it wisely.

My interpretation of this latest #Banksy is that it refers to the harsh laws (judge figure) by, and heavy-handed manner the UK is using to suppress protests and proscribe dissenting voices. 👌🏾 Unbelievably, it's a Labour govt in the driving seat. How ironic! 🤔

Looks like @volkswagen.bsky.social #WeCharge Fair Use policing hasn't gone down well, because they're now having to "clarify".

Such unnecessary step. Could simply add additional cost above the 300kwh than an intrusive review. It's none of your business where I drive to in my own car!

Gisteren liep ik tijdens een avondwandeling door het Vredespaleis in Den Haag. Het is de eerste keer dat ik de Wereldvredesvlam zie. Het gebouw zelf is niet bijzonder, maar de prestige van vrede, recht, en het ICC, maken het een gigant!

Global leaders using concerns of the lir population in exploitative ways is the reason polarisation is heightening across the world.

The cost of electric vehicles (EV) public chargers in the UK is getting atrociously expensive. At this rate, I'll think twice about replacing my EV with another when the time comes.

Joined a panel at @wacren.bsky.social conference to dissuss @elife.bsky.social’s efforts to foster a diverse, inclusive, and equitable publishing ecosystem through global outreach, capacity-building, and infrastructure offerings that support researchers in addressing local open science challenges.

Just arrived at the Minoritised Life Scientists Future Forum in Birmingham, UK. It's the second day and I'm lucky to catch this important discussion on "Reimagining the STEM Pipeline: How Can We Advance Equity and Success?"

This is how lies start to evolve into a certain 'truth'. Or as these same people modulates: 'alternative truth'! 🤯

@rouhiroo.bsky.social sharing the outcome of our Workshop D, which attempted to arrive at a "pragmatic definition of #OpenScience". It was a lively space and I'm so glad I was part of such informative, involving and empowering space. The discussion continues... #R2RConf

Feedback session at #R2RConf. Workshop B (More Power to the Reader) has endeared my heart by highlighting caregivers & patients. Reminds me of my patient advocacy days, incliding working with researchers across the EU to ensure end-users were central—from inception to publication. #ServiceUsers
