We reach Rabaul after 4 days of navigation over the Bismarck Sea. I am now docked at the Kute shipping quay for how many days I don't know yet. The good thing is that there's a new company covering the last stretch of my journey, from Rabaul to Buka, Bougainville. I'll just have to wait for the time the ship is ready to depart. In the meantime, I watch at slave-like work of a group of men downloading copra from a cargo ship and uploading it on trucks delivering it on local markets. They tell me they get the equivalent of €2 for every ton of copra downloaded, to be divided among a team of 6. Slavery I said.

I slow travel mainly to reduce my carbon footprint (by 10 times according to available estimates: see https://ourworldindata.org/travel-carbon-footprint ) but also to experience travel as most people in this world do.

Day 75-78: Conditions are not exactly first class on the vessel taking me from Lae to Rabaul: There's no couchette and no shower room. However, people leave me some space to roll out my 2-inch mattress on the floor (I'm the only one onboard except for crew members enjoying this luxury), so I get some rest. All other passengers sleep crammed on the floor or on the seats. For washing we rely on the "bucket system" in small cabin rooms that get constantly flooded with (rather filthy) water. Surely I'm a white fly on board and everyone wants to speak with me. In spite of this and the breathtaking view of the sunset, I get on with my work...

Day 75-78: I don't think I'll ever see as much as beauty as in these breath-taking sunsets over the Bismarck Sea. They fall gently like leaves caressed by an autumn breeze.

They are an utmost pleasure in my 4- day 1,100km ferry trip from Lae to Rabaul. Conditions are not exactly first class on the vessel: there's no couchette and no shower room. But people leave me some space to roll out my 2-inch mattress on the floor (I'm the only one onboard except for crew members enjoying this luxury), so I get some rest.

Having seen research from many different angles – as a clinician, #researcher, trial manager – she knows that every manuscript represents years of work by real people
#Technology can help #publishers handle growing volumes of research, spot patterns, make processes more efficient – it can speed up good science & reduce routine tasks. But it cannot replace the human judgement, accountability & shared responsibility that scholarly publishing relies on.

That's all for today, please do share your own lists so we can more closely connect the #Fediverse ❤️

A wee #introduction since there are lots of folks joining or rejoining the fediverse in general and Mastodon in particular.

I'm Dave, a #queer #Catholic who runs and sings for fun. I play #VideoGames (currently #Titanfall2) and watch a lot of #Dropout (#Dimension20, #PlayItByEar, #GameChanger are faves), #VideoEssays, and #anime.

I recently went to my first #burn (not #BurningMan, tho) and am digging the inclusive accepting culture.

At work I'm a #researcher in #ComputationalLinguistics focused on #NaturalLanguageGeneration and #psycholinguistics methods. You could say my dayjob is trying to develop a more ethical #ChatGPT

Feel free to ask me questions about #Mastodon if you are #NewHere
