Nick - empowerment - wikimedia can be a bridge between academic and global communities and between open research and open education. Can be powerful in terms of human curated knowledge and hopefully inform ethical AI, information and digital literacy. #ORW2026
Thanks...need to verify age to DM I think!

Not a flake in Leeds ☹️
🆕The #ResearchCultureUncovered podcast's back in 2026! @nickshepp.bsky.social talks to @jsendall.bsky.social about his career in academic libraries culminating in his recent appointment as Acting Librarian & Keeper of the Brotherton Collection at the @universityofleeds.bsky.social.
Happy New Year! Here's a resolution... "I will get more involved in opening up research". Yeah? Great! Oh, wait - hey - I think we can help with that! Why not submit a talk or poster to EORC2026? library.ed.ac.uk/research-sup... That way we can meet, chat, and perhaps support one another!
My first listen of 2026 was a fascinating podcast about transdisciplinary research (and how it differs from interdisciplinary research) open.spotify.com/episode/2p8X...

Have listened to a couple I think but loads there I haven’t
