I don't think that 42 Ursae Majoris is a good candidate for the Persephone system. It looks like a potential neighbour when you view the galaxy from above/below, sure...

@jswhitten @galaxy_map, @nyrath opinions?

Based on my experiences in academic medicine, this is painfully true

Comic depicting a male scientist in a white lab coat looking at a woman behind a computer at a large desk says: IT'S ALL VERY WELL “MAKING DISCOVERIES, - “SAVING LIVES" AND “IMPROVING THE WORLD," ROGER. BUT YOUR RESEARCH IS MAKING BARELY ANY IMPACT ON SOCIAL MEDIA.

Digital labor platforms in Africa offer both opportunities & challenges, with marginalized workers facing dispossession despite tech advancements. In this study, Adio-Adet Tichafara Dinika ( @unibremen, @DAIR) calls for policy reforms to protect worker autonomy & ensure equitable participation in economic shifts.

European Universities started …
.. leaving X

#Universities in #Amsterdam, #Vienna, #Berlin, #Karlsruhe, #Aachen and other cities in Europe have left microblogging service X during the last week(s).

They justify this step with the systematic lack of moderation on the platform, which has resulted in a flood of hate speech, disinformation and cyberbullying.

Some of them have already started to run channels on Mastodon: @univienna, @tuberlin, @KIT_Karlsruhe, @UniOldenburg @unibremen, @freieuniversitaet, @UniUlm , @HTW_Berlin, @uni_paderborn.

X is not a suitable medium for communication in #research and #education. Help get the other #universities to follow suit and sign the petition

Does anyone have pointers about good practices around the #ethical use of #fediverse "public" #data for #research and services creation? I am especially interested in server-level aggregate data (i.e., not-author-linkable; e.g. used tags, boosts, etc.), as I understand that one should contact the author to use identifiable data. @iftas @socialcg @Mastodon @dmitri @fediforum @kissane @eloquence @andresmh
