Science is being politicised, defunded & drowned in disinformation. Citizen science is one of our strongest defences — keeping knowledge in public hands. Our paper is out today: 10 recommendations to strengthen it. doi.org/10.1371/jour... #CitizenScience #Science

Nothing can be seen… then I remember that I have three small kids

Some mornings I feel like I live in a haunted house. In the shower I hear high pitched screams, then silence, banging on the door, then silence, quick movements on the door handle, then silence and then a voice softly saying under the door…: “Open door”… then again silence. When I open the door…

Trump is trying to pull a fast one on us because he knows we do not like to working weekends - another 10% tariff to be paid by US importers

My most recent triathlon turned itself into a run-bike-run… how often does that actually happen? It is the second time in happened to me in a year. Next triathlon… this Sunday 👍🏻

Followed it up with ‘the forever war’ by Joe Haldeman. Another fantastic book that combines the time dilation effects of near light speed travel with everyday human life

Finished it, an excellent read! Gives off a very futuristic vibe without being outside of the realm of what I would consider possible

My parkrun branded and highly colorful Brooks Ghost shoes are about to be retired… they were great!!!

Weird or not… when I go to a restaurant multiple times, I tend to order the same thing - if it was good then, it will be good again. I might be missing out, but I like the predictability

Some more artwork for sale… this one is called ‘Flower blooming after Volcano eruption’ - will accept any reasonable offers

All credit to @pauls-h.bsky.social and parkrun for making a ‘run around a park’ into a global, free, accessible and totally enjoyable community with over 2300 events every Saturday morning. I’m getting close to 250 parkruns, I’m hooked

Just ordered ‘Old Man’s War’ by @scalzi.com - published 20 years ago this year, looking forward to it a lot

Powerful message from the ABCT (Association for Behavioral and Cognitive Therapies) on their role in the dissemination of papers on ‘conversion therapy’ - www.abct.org/abct-board-s...

A lot of work to do on this, but the first steps have been made www.theguardian.com/science/2024...

Modern day classic: ‘Flowers and a curious giraffe’

Reading ‘The Andromeda Evolution’. I’m not sure about this one, but will reserve judgement until I reach the end, it is any easy read though

What’s up?

Very proud: ‘Festivale Carnavale’

New masterpiece: ‘a contrast between red and green’ in watercolors

Stuff like this should be possible to detect with a piece of software, one would think and be flagged upon submission. Having done Western blots myself, I would think that if you want to be dishonest, this is the worst way to do it…

Shout-out to the location of my first parkrun - Westerfolds parkrun near Melbourne in Australia - www.parkrun.com.au/westerfolds/ - a great course with a nasty hill and always the chance to see some kangoeroes

Another object d’art: Tortuous Threnody (loosely based on the song of the same name by After Forever - youtu.be/um0HEFnROz8?...)

Highly recommended - Speaker for the dead by Orson Scott Card. Great insight into cultural differences against a backdrop of some pretty spectacular Sci-Fi concepts (like the relativistic time effects of space travel)

I am being accused (by no-one) of using AI to write my Bluesky posts - who knew AI would be used to complain about the use of AI

Newest creation: “Moons over lazy river of trepidation”

STARDIT - the first open access web-based data-sharing system which standardises the way that information about initiatives is reported across diverse fields and disciplines, including information about which tasks were done by which stakeholders researchinvolvement.biomedcentral.com/articles/10....

@jacknunn.bsky.social I believe you need to post something 😊… anything will do… 😁

Ok, yes… I like the Reacher books by Lee Child, I like the recent series with Alan Ritchson (a lot) and I even kinda like the movie with Tom Cruise (but not so much as the series), glad I got that out of the way

Highly rated: The Dark Tower IV: Wizard and Glass - you will need to read the first three books in the series first though

Just finished reading Hyperion, ordered the Fall of Hyperion… I need closure

#Bluesky is open, even to those who received an access code that didn’t work
