I have been having an excellent time participating in the 2025 Canadian Science Policy Conference here in Ottawa. #CSPC2025 has hosted some engaging and challenging conversations on national research infrastructure; science as diplomacy; talent development, retention, and attraction; federal, provincial, and private investments; science communication; and information, misinformation, science, and critical thinking.

Cool und was heißt das konkret? Was sind gut kuratierte Daten und wird die Kuratierung breit finanziert? Kann man Grok und Konsorten vorwerfen, nicht auf Menschen zentriert zu sein? Das ist keine Polemik, sondern ich interessiere mich für die Antworten.
