It was so lovely to finally meet @antonioschettino and Liz Guzman-Ramirez in person after a few sessions working together online. Huge thanks for your hospitality and for your enthusiasm and inspiration!

We talked about #openscience, #ResearchIntegrity, #researchassessment, #teamscience, #researchculture. Liz and I reminisced about our days as astronomers.

Sign of change in research culture, not just research policy:

"REF 2021’s #openaccess #mandate for journal articles and conference proceedings has arguably had the greatest impact in driving open access engagement by researchers [in the UK]. What was once a niche pursuit that was opposed by many researchers is now overwhelmingly regarded as an everyday part of the research lifecycle."
