I stopped using Adobe products personally at photoshop 2.5.1 or perhaps v3.0. At work we have access to adobe’s suite. I hate it but it’s difficult to argue that I & my work is better to use other tools. Not any more.

Here it is. If you are a professional, if you are under NDA with your clients, if you are a creative, a lawyer, a doctor or anyone who works with proprietary files - it is time to cancel Adobe, delete all the apps and programs. Adobe can not be trusted.

Bibliographic references are key in scientific literature for reproducibility, access to in-depth information & impact assessments. But closed data hinder can these processes.

Never understood what those tiny numbers you see in texts are for¹. Like this one for example².

¹ They're footnotes.

The EU is a global leader in Research & Innovation.

#Horizon is critical to preserve technological edge.

Today’s political agreement on the UK’s participation in Horizon Europe and Copernicus will strengthen science across the whole of Europe.

Looking forward to meeting @RishiSunak at the @g20org

Chihuahua syndrome: messy data from variations in spelling or input.

The name The chihuahua syndrome is from @EdwardTufte in his new book Seeing with Fresh Eyes, based on an anecdote from Chris Groskopf @onxyfish

This is why libraries are important. When digital or streaming resources are ended there can be little trace left of their existence. All that knowledge, all that content just... goes.

Without online archiving or curation we lose a lot of the recent past.

"The UK's alternative to EU Horizon Europe funding is near-silent on maintaining the collaborations needed to meet global goals on climate and sustainability. Its plan does, however, describe the UK 13 times as a science 'superpower'."
