You don't have to do Q&A at the end
You can do it earlier leaving you 5mins to wrap up. This lets you control the last thing they see and hear, rather than teh quesions.

Re: #AcademicMastodon + #OpenScience. I'm initiator of Delightful #commons for people to keep curated directories. Similar to Awesome on #github except only for open resources.
There's 2 lists I want to bring to attention. First one, the #ActivityPub #fediverse experience. It needs more open science entries 💪
https://delightful.coding.social/delightful-fediverse-experience/
2nd list needs co-maintainers with #academic background because this list requires quality and rigour I can't deliver:
Generally speaking*, avoid standing behind things.
Desks, computers, lecterns, we want to connect with audiences and having a literal barrier between you and them hampers that connection.
*There are exeptions to every 'rule'
🆕 Out now: our study on #academic staff engagement on #Mastodon
🔗 Summary
https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.15582839
💡 While Mastodon is valued for its ethical positioning, continued engagement hinges more on social and institutional dynamics than on technical features alone
➡️Ethical concerns drive adoption
➡️Peer presence matters more for staying than joining
➡️Academic institutions could be game-changers by leading adoption instead of waiting for grassroots growth
Dropping a link to a bsky post. Anyone still remember the #colossalbio #direwolf PR stunt?
It looks like there are SEO'd AI posts popping up smearing one or more of the researchers who publicly spoke out against it.

Something to keep an eye on for sake of #research and #academic integrity.

STOP PUTTING STUFF ON A SLIDE AND THEN NOT TALKING ABOUT IT!!!
If its not important then why is it there?
If it is important then why don’t you mention it!
The actions come as #Trump & his top aides seek to bend #academic institutions to their #ideological beliefs. The #State Dept’s public *diplomacy* office is run by #DarrenBeattie, a political appointee who was fired from a job during the first Trump admin after he gave a talk at a #WhiteNationalist conference. He has made social media posts on white grievances, including one saying “competent white men must be in charge if you want things to work.”…

I tend to discuss these thoughts in the context of #academic #aristocracy.
Why should the „real“ academic scientist be treated differently from any artist?
IMHO the only way of neutral treatment of people‘s research - artistic, scientific, or autistic - is a basic income.
Particularly the discussion about #Citizenscience or #paraacademics has to be shifted to the social impact of economic job constructions.
Put into the light of presidential fake productions the scientific progress in AI implementations puts the world on track to absolute #idiocracy. Idio not ideo.
Due to outsource thinking to academic institutions I‘d rather say “no thanks to #thinktanks.”
