Last Friday, we hosted the Knowledge Futures Symposium 📚
We heard from inspirational speakers who examined how knowledge is created, shared and exploited today, and were challenged to think and discuss our role in creating a more equitable and open knowledge future.

Starting to put the word out that my 2 years as Chair of @ciliplgbtq.bsky.social is up in August.
I'm trying to stop doing absolutely everything so once we find someone else I'll be stepping down.
Could that someone else be you? You can really make the role what ever you like, it's very flexible.
