I used a lot of #FOSS software and hardware for all of it and it was amazing. Honorable mentions: #gitAnnex, #dataLad, #KiCAD, #OpenSCAD, #PlatformIO, #Arduino, #TexLaTeX. I just wish I'd used #nix / #nixOS sooner.

In 2021, hundreds of citizen scientists walked a distance of 600 km, counting up and classifying all of the outdoor lights they could see while they did it. The results of their observations have just been published in the journal Nature Cities: https://www.nature.com/articles/s44284-025-00239-5
Find out why they did it, and what they found out in this thread 👇

apropos: Mensch-Tier-Beziehungen in der Romania
Die #OpenAccess -Zeitschrift apropos widmet sich in der von Stéphane Hardy & Sandra Herling herausgegebenen Ausgabe dem schönen & noch wenig erforschten Forschungsfeld der Mensch-Tier-Beziehungen in der Romania: https://blog.fid-romanistik.de/2026/07/16/apropos-mensch-tier-beziehungen-in-der-romania/
Dear researchers,
I am sick of #Elsevier and their antics (ridiculous APCs, inaccessible articles, unauthorised data-mininig, etc.) and want to avoid publishing with them as much as possible.
Can you suggest good journals in the following topics / fields (society journals welcome):
1. #microalgae
2. #molecularbiology
3. #crispr
4. #sustainability
#opensource #openaccess #academicresearch #academia
Please #boost so I can reach other academics.
