So excited to share that our book on Ethical and Equitable Citizen Science will be out early next year! It is a distillation of all the successes and mistakes we've made over the past 18 years, and we can't wait to share it. Grateful for @uoylibrary.bsky.social funds for it to be open access

is that not the joy of goats

New paper! Values such as openness, transparency, collaboration, clarity about conflict of interests have been promoted by women for *decades*, and now we have reframed this around the branding of 'open science' that we start to take them seriously. journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

I had a look at the Krosnick chapter- it mentions “decades of research” but annoyingly doesn’t cite any directly on this point! Anyone know of any actual studies?

It's hard to convey just how monstrous the privatisation of children's care homes has become. Highly vulnerable children have been turned into cash machines, with devastating impacts on their wellbeing. Please sit down before reading this week's column. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
