"Sustaining the (volunteer) human infrastructure of Open Science involves more than just identifying new funding streams. We also need to think about how to sustain the workers and communities themselves.
Volunteer labour, such as that involved in rescuing data in times of crisis, can be rewarding but also emotionally draining and full of uncertainties, demanding considered mechanisms for community support."

I'll be attending the fully virtual Research Data Alliance 26th Plenary Meeting this week. Looking forward to valuable sessions on research data.

For the record, I'm still more than a little uneasy about #RDA's partnership with #Microsoft around agentic AI for research. It seems to me that the RDA-aligned research community will just be providing free labour to train "Researcher" agents that MS will then sell in direct competition with actual human researchers, further contributing to the devaluation of knowledge, expertise, truth and evidence.
Short-term thinking plays into the hands of the corporations and billionaires who have been playing a long game for decades.

Anyone else attending the virtual 26th Plenary of the Research Data Alliance? There's still time to register. 👀
My 7th RDA plenary, 5th online. Somehow it still feels like a reunion every time.
