"There are things technology cannot do - and there are things technology shouldn't do!" Erich Prem @ #dighum I'm so glad we've come back around to this stance.

At the #dighum Digital Humanismus Conference in Vienna today. The topic and talks and community reminds me of the good old days of Web Science. Looking forward to hearing more! 😍

Welcome to a new episode of 'Travelling with an invisible disability'! "here's your card. You have room 407 on the fourth floor. The stairs are over there." "You're joking?" "I'm afraid there is no lift."

Of course all other eu citizens can sign the initiative against conversion Therapy as well, and should! You don't even need to live in the EU. (I signed from the UK 🙄😢)

@alastaircampbell2.bsky.social hi there. Here's a suggestion for your discussion about a German translation of 'disagree agreeably': 'sich einvernehmlich widersprechen' 🙂

I've run trainings for #PhDstudents for several years, helping them to manage their own projects, plan ahead, and make finishing the degree feel achievable. Now I'm hosting this training online. Find more details and sign up here! gefiont.eu/phd-training/

I've written up my key insights from #cop29 for @kingscollegelondon.bsky.social. In a nutshell: If we want #citizenscience insights to add value to the COP process, we need to adapt our language, and consider a new set of metrics beyond the SDGs. www.kcl.ac.uk/cop29-how-co...
