New #introduction since I'm parking over here at veganism dot social[1].
🎓 I'm a #PhD candidate in #HistSci and #STS (science & technology studies) at UW-Madison (that's the one in #Wisconsin, not Washington)
📚 I study how #data get used, shared, recombined, and abused in the sciences – current projects touch on #pollution regulation and social #genomics. I guess #opendata and #openscience are relevant tags here
✍️ I blog about some of the #books I'm #reading, each post ends with a #vegan recipe [2] :vegan:. Mostly these have been scholarly #history books, but I also read a lot of #SciFi / #SFF
📝 My day job/funding (proudly #union) is as an editorial assistant at Social Studies of Science[3]

"We found that…not having #FAIR research #data costs the European economy at least €10.2bn every year…We also [identified] a number of consequences from not having FAIR which could not be reliably estimated, such as an impact on research quality, economic turnover, or machine readability of research data…We concluded that these unquantified elements could account for another €16bn annually on top of what we estimated."
"#Mahjongg Solitaire", 1981 vom Entwickler Brodie Lockard in Stanford erfunden und ein Blockbuster der noch jungen Gameindustrie, war vor 25 Jahren mein Einstieg in die Webprogrammierung. Diesen Frühling hab' ich das Game neu aufgelegt - für alle, die (wie ich) ein Spielchen für zwischendurch zu schätzen wissen. https://www.thomasweibel.ch/mah-jongg/#opendata

At the @internetarchive a light blinks on their servers every time you use their collections. What a great way to visualise the impact of free access to knowledge. Do not take libraries, museums or archives for granted, we must defend them at all costs! https://www.battleforlibraries.com
