Wanted to share a link to the excellent Science for the People Magazine [SfTP](free online & voluntary subscriptions)
This quote sums the philosophy of StFP
"“Science, in all its senses, is a social process that both causes and is caused by social organization. To do science is to be a social actor engaged, whether one likes it or not, in political activity.”
—Richard Levins & Richard Lewontin, The Dialectical Biologist (1985)" -

Good news! #3Dprinted #OpenSource microscope & lenses can facilitate clinical diagnostics in remote/poor places and ease access to microscopy to everyone.
The full paper is here: https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2024.12.16.628684v1.full.pdf.
The microscope chasis was from #OpenFlexure project: https://openflexure.org
The link to the stl files to print the lenses is: https://pureportal.strath.ac.uk/files/250315808/PURE_data.zipNow I have to look for a place to try this in Helsinki, maybe at #hacklabfi https://helsinki.hacklab.fi?

A positive, healthy step. Science has a long history of often failing to apply the same scrutiny and control of confounders it properly expects for good research to many of its own assumptions and biases.

American Ornithological Society Will Change the English Names of Bird Species Named After People"“There is power in a name, and some English bird names have associations with the past that continue to be exclusionary and harmful today. We need a much more inclusive and engaging scientific process that focuses attention on the unique features and beauty of the birds themselves,” said AOS President Colleen Handel, Ph.D., a research wildlife biologist with the U.S. Geological Survey in Alaska. “Everyone who loves and cares about birds should be able to enjoy and study them freely—and birds need our help now more than ever.”
Ornithologists have long grappled with historical and contemporary practices that contribute to the exclusion of Black, Indigenous, and other people of color, including how birds are named. For example, in 2020, the AOS renamed a small prairie songbird found on the Great Plains to “Thick-billed Longspur.” The bird’s original name—honoring John P. McCown, an amateur naturalist who later became a general in the Confederate Army during the U.S. Civil War—was perceived as a painful link to slavery and racism."

One more example of a scientist facing reprisals for speaking truth to power:
