Next was "Why Trust Science?" by Naomi Oreskes. Oreskes delivers an inspired, rigorous interrogation of the nature of science, its history, its faults, and why it's essential. The deep exploration of what we mean by science and how the many processes and norms that comprise its essence is incisive and illuminating, and the discussion of how different groups can distort science is essential. Highly recommend

Forschungsdatenprovider, Repositorien und FDZ sind längst zu einem Grundbestandteil der #OpenScience Transformation im deutschen Wissenschaftssystems geworden. Allein in @re3data sind mehr als 500 Einträge mindestens einer deutschen Organisation zugeordnet. Diese Vielfalt deutet zum einen auf die fachliche Breite hin, zum anderen aber auch auf die Herausforderung von Base4NFDI, übergreifende Dienste für eine Deutsche #Forschungsdateninfrastruktur anzubieten.

Diese Aufgabe wird von unserer Forschungsgruppe am @DZHW sozialwissenschaftlich begleitet. Durch die #WiBef konnten wir dabei bereits Perspektiven von über 6000 Forschenden in Deutschland zur @NFDI sammeln.

Ab heute startet die qualitative Befragung von Vertreter*innen Deutscher Forschungsdatenrepositorien. Dabei möchten wir zum einen mehr über die Bedeutung der Basisdienste für die Repositorien lernen. Zum anderen wollen wir uns aber auch wissenschaftssoziologisch der Frage nähern, welche epistemische Bedeutung diese Akteure im Wissenschaftssystem von morgen haben.

I heard Annihilation was about grief or relationships. I'm interested af in Scavenger's Reign.

I feel like we have a rough indentation / substructure of how we will process things from birth, but that every event thereon will shape it further.

As well, we know ourselves in reference to others: "I'm like A, not like B, but most like C. What lies beyond C? I might see myself reflected best over there."

"Rules do not exist to bind you; they exist so you may know your freedoms."
Parameters outline a given environment within which to experiment and explore. It's one antidote to Blank Page Syndrome, for example.

I have to disagree entirely about personifying the automated house in There Will Come Soft Rains (fantastic name), but otherwise yes. This is exactly my understanding.

It's also a good description of why I feel so confused by others.
People tend to feel more secure (than I do) in their identities as individuals, group members, and (neurotypical / neurodefault / neurorigid) humans.
