  1. theguardian.com/environment/20. A #utopian #fantasy, delivered by Ivory Tower left-wing #academics, like Thomas #Piketty, who don't realise there is no saving our so-called #civilisation from the #revenge of #Gaia, or the remorseless #logic of #social #entropy. They will still be saying all can saved, even as the grand edifice of #global #technological #capitalism crashes down around their ears - but see: globaljusticeproject.wid.world/. For my response, see: osf.io/preprints/socarxiv/gavz.

  2. From a recent post looking for PhD theses databases across Europe, I got lots of boosts (thanks) but only returns from very few European countries. So I wonder : how many active scientists (lets say having published one peer-reviewed paper in the last five years) are on mastodon from the different EU countries ?
    Pools only have 10 choices, so more countries are in the next post 🙂
    please boost mainly on servers with a science theme
    And if I have missed any hashtags that are followed by many scientists, please add

  3. #SophiaRatcliffe updates us on #NBNAtlas & shows most #university data does not make it into NBN even though most accounts are held by #students & #academics 😮. More work needs to be done to deposit data with NBN
