The image is an infographic titled "Open science creates economic value through reuse at scale," by PLOS. It highlights four benefits of reuse: prevents duplication of effort, accelerates research processes, compounds benefits through network effects, and enables reuse across sectors. The left side features a flowchart illustrating reuse from a single research output. On the right, a text box emphasizes that open science can enhance productivity and strengthen long-term performance when done correctly. A final note states, "Publishing is a vital part of the infrastructure that enables reuse at scale.

Open Science isn’t just a values choice. It’s an economic one.

We are sharing a new independent report by @technopolis-group.com on the economic benefits of #OpenScience and what drives value when research outputs are designed for reuse at scale: plos.io/4rdAxCY

$300 Million in jet planes lost to a fuckup.

Oil and charcoal on canvas, abstract cubist bodies piled together. Description from MOMA site: "With its varying degrees of finish—you can see traces of charcoal and sections of blank canvas—and vast network of undulating lines and geometric shapes, Picasso seems to have obscured legibility in favor of generating a rhythmic abstraction. As if questioning the ability of painting to represent war, he created a shifting, spectral vision."

Picasso's depiction of a fascist massacre, a murdered family unceremoniously tangled together under a dining table.
