I'd pretty much abandoned this handle here without deleting the account. That was an oversight. Moving to Bluesky - @tomesandtech.bsky.social
I plan to delete this account by the end of September 2024.

"Libraries really can’t afford to buy as many digital books as they should be buying.... So people are waiting and of course not understanding why the wait is so long for an e-book."

Library ebook costs ultimately harm the people libraries are for.

ALL CONNECTED - If we only think of 'openness' as something that happens after the fact, then we are not doing is the things that need to happen earlier to mean the outputs are more credible - great opening talk from @BrianNosek https://t.co/UgB7xwSvnV

Can you bee-lieve this brilliant bug is over 3500 years old? 🐝✨

It was made by the Minoans, who inhabited the island of Crete from around 3000 BC. They used the bee to symbolise power and prosperity, making it a frequent motif in their art and jewellery

Happy #WorldBeeDay! 🐝

Springer Nature's method regarding authors’ rights retention isn't about rejection; it’s about deflection, observes @SallyRumsey1 in her latest post.
