"Can" relates to the competence of the person relied on, “try” to her intentions: the person relies on must have some capacity to complete the relevant action, and she must intend to do so.

I love the university world. And I hate it at the same time. Can we do something different altogether? How could we fund this something else? What can we build from the bottom? I have little answers, but these are the questions I'd like to hear and talk about.

This makes a lot of sense. But I'm also really talking about challenging the status quo and presenting, wherever possible, alternative spaces and methodologies for research practices. /

So the question today - like on a lot of days - is: what's the most important thing you could be working on right now? Or talking about right now? And if you are not doing it, then what are you doing?

#OpenScience cannot mean what it meant 10 years ago.

#Research was supposed to save us. It's clear, to me, that it failed miserably. It just can't do it anymore. Not in its current shape and terms. And these terms aren't bound to change any time soon. /

This is me urging #OpenScience and #OpenData advocates and activists out there to change the conversation. It's 2025 and the world is burning alive. Metaphorically and not. /

We talked about it all. We've been talking about it for decades. Things that were bound to shift, shifted. And things that didn't, aren't going to shift anymore. And this is not me being pessimistic, no. /

We talked about licenses, preprints, repositories, #OpenAccess. We talked about changing the rewarding system, building spaces to enable good practices, better practices. /

Delirium tremens at its best

#marconiexpress colpisce anche al ritorno. Tempi di attesa ai tornelli di almeno 50 minuti. Bus sostitutivo in corso. La buona amministrazione.

The only way to close off this long, rich thread is with a picture of my #OpenData friends in Italy! @dennisangemi.bsky.social @aborruso.bsky.social @mcx83.bsky.social @puntofisso.bsky.social @ingmmo.bsky.social @matteofortini.bsky.social @giorgialodi.bsky.social

Thank you, #csvconf ❤️‍🔥

We're done! Those little straws in the middle? Those are trees! Five colors, five species! Each ball is 5% and overall we're showing percentages of planted trees in Boston I forgot when! Making data sculptures is fun! #csvconf #csvconfv19
