👋 first post here - I'm usually active on the fediverse (https://fedihum.org/@lavaeolus).

I was told on mastodon to post a few of my toots here, there may be sme interest:

Call to Action:

"Please share with your colleagues:

Asking all US-based scientists.

Are there repositories of #OpenAccess papers etc. pp. that need mirrored?

(I'm proud #GuerillaOpenAccess, but not currently trying to do an Aaron Swartz #RIP 😢)"

"You've got research to safeguard?

Consider uploading to zenodo.org (run by CERN, well established, trustworthy, you can private your uploads)"

"To organize: matrix.to/#/#safeguarding-research

(Everyone welcome! #BusFactor)
