I'm finally unveiling the #ActivityPub project that has been consuming my weekends: Encyclia, an #ORCID bridge that will make ORCID records followable and interactable on the fediverse. 🙂

It's early-stage and the ORCID following function is not publicly available yet. We're seeking community feedback on functionality and safety aspects. Read more at https://encyclia.pub or follow @encyclia for news!

#introduction #introductions

Hello Fediverse,
I am a researcher in #geoscience, focusing mostly on hydrogeology, hydrology, evaporation and rock weathering. I am affiliated with Charles University (Czech Republic).
I am here to stay in touch with – and share – news about #science and academic life. That's why I chose #Fediscience as my home server and will mostly contribute to the tags #academia and #academicchatter.
I am in my mid-thirties and live near Prague with my family. I enjoy reading #books and spending time in nature. Addicted to #coffee.

Context: I'm working with a student on a research ethics application, and a reviewer is concerned about protecting the participant group. We need to reassure the reviewer that we are recruiting adults capable of making informed decisions on their own behalf, who also have a diagnosis of autism. Like, say, the student researcher.

@unibibkoeln I added a postscript.

P.S.: There's one more INCREDIBLE offer: If you want to read a book that was recently published and you think that other students and/or staff might be interested in reading it, too, you can make an acquisition request. This will cost you 0€ and you can request that the book be reserved for you when it arrives at the #library. I've made many requests in the past and they've pretty much all been accepted so... try your luck! 🍀
