Second excellent keynote at #Munin2025 from Kenneth Ruud of the Norwegian Defence Research Establishment on 'Open science in a closing world'. Sobering, full of direct challenges to agents across the research and scholarly communications. But optimistic and rock solid in support of Open Science.

Better than any pics I have of me!

I have just realised that:
- @tweissgerber.bsky.social also spoke brilliantly at #Metascience2025, telling us to 'Disturb shit!'

- my profile pic is a stuffed baby polar bear, taken at The Polar Museum during #Munin2023

It is apparently a small world after all

But there is a Taskmaster alumnus in it…

Are you prevented from putting it out yourself or choosing not to do so?

Nice to know! It is on the window ledge near my deks, and much treasured.

Thank you!

Do you have any recommendations, performative or other?

The Thing (1982) in these parts.

Not at all! I followed you on the socials and very chuffed to see it mentioned. It was my favorite part of MCM as well!

It was me! I finished Vicious Creatures in a single sitting - ‘The Lantern’ and ‘Bat Society’ particular faves.

Needs ironing…

Loved Weapons so much, need to rewatch it with this in mind. Amazing take. No notes.

That’s no problem! 😉
