Advancing inclusive education through crowdsourced research 📊 An initiative of the Aletheia Society (@aletheiasociety.bsky.social) Learn more: edresearchaccelerator.org
At SERA, we work among peers and believe credit, authorship, and recognition, should follow the work and be distributed equitably among the people doing it. The goal is work that outlives a paper and benefits the field - not a hero narrative. edresearchaccelerator.org/2026/08/05/n...
