Academia is so much poorer for the drive to coin terms and claim to be the first to do X, rather than being in conversation and relation to each other and our work. This is clearly a response to the confluence of labor conditions and ego, but we don’t have to capitulate to it.

1. This will be a thread of tweets from corporations promoting their impassioned support for LGBTQ rights along with how much the same corporations have recently donated to the politicians behind Florida's "Don't Say Gay" bill

Key takeaway: deposit your #openaccess publications in libraries that are truly open & don't require readers to register. This means repositories like @ZENODO_ORG, university repositories, or @OAPENbooks. @ERC_Research does not recommend @academia or @ResearchGate #OpenAccessWeek
For #openaccessweek I am attending a webinar with @OAPENbooks - on publishing #openaccess academic monographs
katemcdonald retweeted
Quick update: We are very close to releasing Bodies and Structures 2.0. Look for more announcements in the coming weeks, and the release in November!
