Gerade habe ich der Deutschen Umwelthilfe gespendet (die leider keinen aktiven Account im Fediverse hat). Normalerweise würde ich nicht darüber schreiben. Angesichts einer Regierung mit Neigung zu autoritärer Gesetzgebung und Ministern, die das Verbandsklagerecht aushebeln wollen - all dies angesichts einer sich zuspitzenden #Klimakrise und dümmlichen, der Lobby dienenden Gesetzgebungsabsichten (teils umgesetzt), schreibe ich also darüber. Wir können alle ETWAS tun. #CDU #SPD #Umweltschutz #K...

My (preliminary) conclusion: bullying has a history before it surfaces. When an institution realizes that, it is already too late. From an organizational perspe...

Had a wonderful discussion at the #osr26uk about social media, the #fediverse and science communication. I am a firm believer of REAL, venture capital free, social media. Yet, many institutions still refrain from posting to Mastodon. They cannot appreciate the different culture and this is an issue, because it dampens the growth of the Fediverse.

A while ago I created this #nanopub, declaring the upcoming Open Science retreat in Machynlleth, Wales (#OSR26UK). Hopefully, we will create a few items to connect it with: https://w3id.org/np/RA1EqFlHdJgd4CTdfRP8XrWDFsVrSHsuXk362eb924i5M
