#osr26uk — Public Fediverse posts

Have you been to Open-Topia yet?
You'll likely arrive there through Frustration Station, but you can use your arrow keys to explore fantastical spaces such as the Visionary Forest or Meet-Tropolis.

But beware of the Job Insecurity Dragon! 🐲 😱

hey @rupdecat! Did you post on here about https://saranjeetkaur.github.io/nanopub_101yet?
I just read it, enjoyed it, and came here to look for something about it to boost! :)

#nanopubs #osr26uk

During the #OSR26UK I had interesting discussions about #bullying in academics and that institutions often stay silent, protecting the bully rather than the victim(s).

Now, I learned that there is a word for it: “organizational betrayal”. And tons of research about the impact for the victim and how it harms the institutions themselves.

My (preliminary) conclusion: bullying has a history before it surfaces. When an institution realizes that, it is already too late. From an organizational perspective the choice is easy: Do we leave the victim only with the choice to leave (loss of one, presumably already underperforming, worker)? Or do we invest time and energy in mucking the stall — with all the legal risks that might come along, possibly loosing several “good” workers?

The long term repercussions are, of course, disastrous. Simply because the bully will be bullying again and again.

Had a wonderful discussion at the #osr26uk about social media, the #fediverse and science communication.

I am a firm believer in REAL, venture capital free, social media. Yet, many institutions still refrain from posting to Mastodon. They cannot appreciate the different culture and this is an issue, because it dampens the growth of the Fediverse.

The Open Science Retreat 2026 in Wales is coming to an end and with that our beautiful little week of utopia-ing at the Center for Alternative Technology.

Jules is guiding us through the final presentations of the collaborative work that happened this week.

And a lot happened! The topics and activities were defined by everyone in a collaborative effort (#Unconference).

For the first time we did not only have an Unconference for the adult participants but also one for the kids 🤩

Hey folks following the #OSR26UK hashtag: Check out what our friends in the Netherlands did:

Today at the Open Science Retreat is all about adventure. Looking forward to how it will unfold. #OSR26UK

We have a new approved user: https://w3id.org/np/RAA8xpaUWhoG8lpPWV9wRrd1cc1jv_zRTKhEMMum62o-g

And the two of us declared our participation, e.g. https://w3id.org/np/RAb96gThCtIh4xcsVvydPb3yWi45NadadI5UoNWtH9t50

Now, up to creating some 101 material for #nanopub !

I'm at the Open Science Retreat (#OSR26UK) this week, at the #CentreForAlternativeTechnology in #Machynlleth this week - surrounded by experimental #solar arrays (incl. some cool ones from "history") and it has reminded me about my account on solarcene.community (a #SolarPowered #mastodon instance) - time to dust that off and have a play!

First impressions of Wales are fantastic. Had a great lunch and found our way to the Center of Alternative Technology (thanks to the kind and funny bus driver 😁).

Ready for the Open Science Retreat #OSR26UK

A while ago I created this #nanopub, declaring the upcoming Open Science retreat in Machynlleth, Wales (#OSR26UK). Hopefully, we will create a few items to connect it with:

Out of Office email reply is now on! Bring on the Open Science Retreat! 🎉 🌳 🛌 🥾

@ResearchEquals

Congratulations! Hopefully, we will make some use of it during / after the upcoming #OpenScience retreats.

@HeidiSeibold a pity I cannot do both. See you in Wales! #OSR26uk is the hashtag I will use, too.

I can't believe it's almost been a year since the Open Science Retreat in Switzerland #OSR25CH! Now I am already getting ready to go to the next two.

Two?! Yes.

I will head off to the Netherlands for a Dutch-centered retreat in the dunes and right after I'll continue on to Wales for the Open Science Retreat Global in the wonderful green nature of Wales #OSR26UK.

Looking forward to moving #OpenScience forward!
(and enjoying nature, of course)

The Open Science Retreat is my favorite event of the year and next year I get to go to not only one but two?! 2026 will be the best year ever.

Want to join me? Here are your options:

#osr26uk: The much loved regular global retreat will take place in Wales
https://open.science-retreat.org/OSR26UK/

#osr26nl: For the Dutch community there will be a local retreat in the Netherlands
https://openscienceretreat.eu/

Applications are open now.

I'm the Community Manager of @digiresacademy, https://digital-research.academy/ - "...a grassroots trainer network. We offer training with the goal of improving the quality of research."), as part of which I'm helping to organise the next Open Science Retreat (#OSR26UK,
https://open.science-retreat.org/ - an unconference/hackathon/retreat for those in the open science world, next April in Wales) - we're currently looking for sponsors, get in touch if this is you or you have suggestions!
