Open Research, Gender, and Ethics Discover how open research can shake up gender norms and ethics in this online event.

VERY excited for this event as part of the London Open Science & Scholarship Festival 2026 (online, April 20th).

We don’t talk enough about the patriarchal ideologies embedded in many dominant applications of “open science “

For the "everything is online" crowd in the back:

Important to consider that "everything" cultural heritage related that is accessible online represents only 1% (one percent) of archives, libraries, and museum collections worldwide.

Very pleased to be involved in the London Open Science & Scholarship Festival again this year. Look out for the panel on 'Open Access Publishing in Practice' ft @lsepress.bsky.social author Professor David Luke 👇👇👇

It’s #WorldHearingDay to raise awareness about hearing health and accessibility. Here’s my #SciArt #embroidery of the cochlea/inner ear—nave of vibration (2017)—which I did while researching my symptoms of hyperacusis.
