We know you have a busy life. That's why we created the brand-new #podcast 'Open Science Bites' with episodes lasting less than 10 minutes ⏱️.

University of #Groningen academics reveal their ‘open’ journeys and offer hands-on insights on #openscience practices.

The UNESCO Open Science Recommendation was adopted by the UN member states in 2021.

Open Infra is an important part: science should use publicly/community-owned infrastructure and avoid proprietary software and platforms.

This means Open Science requires some switches, eg:

👉 Qualtrics 🔁 LimeSurvey/formr

👉 NVivo/Atlas/MaxQDA 🔁 QualCoder/ROCK

👉 Mendeley/Endnote 🔁 Zotero

👉 SPSS/SAS/STATA 🔁 jamovi/JASP/R

Who would you say share the responsibility for making these changes?

Caltech scientists will launch a space-based solar power satellite on Tuesday. The plan is to build a power station in orbit around the Earth which would beam energy back to the ground where it can be incorporated into the grid. Good thing about space solar? The sun is always shining up there.

The demonstrator mission, SSPD, will test three key elements of the satellites, including the photovoltaic cells and the unfurling mechanism. #Science
