Self-portrait

"Can" relates to the competence of the person relied on, “try” to her intentions: the person relies on must have some capacity to complete the relevant action, and she must intend to do so.

This is such an interesting perspective.

Open science is not just for researchers. Artist @kindracrick.com created these beautiful neuron portraits with inspiration from Ramón y Cajal's drawings and reference images from our Cell Types Database.

I love the university world. And I hate it at the same time. Can we do something different altogether? How could we fund this something else? What can we build from the bottom? I have little answers, but these are the questions I'd like to hear and talk about.

This makes a lot of sense. But I'm also really talking about challenging the status quo and presenting, wherever possible, alternative spaces and methodologies for research practices. /

So the question today - like on a lot of days - is: what's the most important thing you could be working on right now? Or talking about right now? And if you are not doing it, then what are you doing?

We talked about it all. We've been talking about it for decades. Things that were bound to shift, shifted. And things that didn't, aren't going to shift anymore. And this is not me being pessimistic, no. /

Not that I don't appreciate people speaking up for #OpenScience, but I can't help but notice that a lot of the advocacy nowadays looks exactly what it looked like 5 or perhaps even 10 years ago. /
