Alright #uksg25 I've downloaded the Whovia app so anyone who's on Mastodon can find me if you'd like to have a chat about open stuff (or a moan I'm happy to have either!)
As I'm aware people see a cactus my 'real' photo is in that app so you actually know what I look like.

Alright science focussed open folks - If you were presenting to a very forward facing group in the sciences what would you highlight for forthcoming innovations/challenges in the sciences (specifically Neuroimaging but general issues welcomed). Not just OA!
