Incredible talk from @datarescueproject.org & @kthlibrary.bsky.social on preservation of public data through conflict, war, and chaos.

Did you know they did a #citizenscience project to photograph interpretive signs across U.S. national parks, preserving an archive of this threatened knowledge?

Great (& very international!) workshop today by the Stockholm School of Entrepreneurship (SSES) on teaching responsible entrepreneurship! Led by Gustav Hägg of @mau.se , we explored tools for problematizing ethical dilemmas and discussed the ethical responsibility of teachers.

Privileged to write this editorial with @gretchentg.bsky.social of @ucs.org in @science.org: "Scientists’ role in defending democracy." www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...
A red quotation mark graphic, followed by bold text excerpted from an August 14th Science magazine editorial by Gretchen Goldman and Erica Chenoweth, saying "The ability to tell the truth, especially when it does not suit any particular partisan aims, is an essential prerequisite for a free society."

My latest @newscientist.com cartoon
A cartoon titled ‘The Life of a Scientist’. (The life is depicted as a set of steps, three up then three down with a character on each) Baby: Such a mysterious world! Child: I must search for answers Young adult: Each answer leads me to more questions Middle age: ... At least I've got lots of questions Old age: Ok, I guess questions are my thing now From grave: Such a mysterious world!

What does belonging in STEM look like – and who gets to decide? This question sparked Code Couture: Breaking the STEM Dress Code, a visual arts project that explores how gender, appearance, and clothing intersect with perceptions of credibility and inclusion in science and tech. 🧪
