A small rant about zombie ideas and the tendency to keep looking for modifications of study methods to avoid concluding that a null result is really null. deevybee.blogspot.com/2024/03/

ORCID provides a persistent unique digital identifier (an ORCID iD) that researchers own and control, and that distinguishes them from every other researcher."

Re-classifying knowledge: moving from BIC to Thema

I love #Mastodon so much. Last night I posted an #introduction on a whim, just to say hello.

I expected to be ignored just like I have been so many times on #twitter (refuse to call the #birdsite "X", ugh).

I woke up to numerous #boost notifications and new followers. Wow.

A place to actually connect.

How wonderful.

Happy to meet you all, I am Jessa!

🇺🇦 The Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine hosted the kick-off meeting of #OpenScience for Ukrainian Higher Education System (Open4UA) project: lpnu.ua/en/news/ministry-educa and in Ukrainian lpnu.ua/news/v-ministerstvi-os
EIFL is happy and honoured to be a partner eifl.net/eifl-in-action/open-s advancing research assessment reform and fostering national and institutional open science policy developments

It finally works! 🤞🏼

Here is a table of more than 1000 journalists on #Mastodon, that updates itself – showing the ones most active, most followed etc. I took the wonderful table by @tchambers as foundation, but deleted some media organizations, so that it only contains accounts from people.
I want to make another for media accounts (and maybe even more 🤔).

Have a look!
