Hi Mastodon!

Here is my #introduction.

I am a PhD student in #LIS at Kyiv National University of Culture and Arts who is currently pursuing their research at @tibosl.

I am passionate about #open_access publishing, #ScholComm, equality, diversity and inclusion in knowledge sharing and access.

I contributed to several projects fostering #open_science practices in 🇺🇦 , related to PIDs adaption, #FAIR research information, CRIS development.

Trail running and hatha yoga keep me sane.

I got the Women of NASA Lego set and recreated my favorite photo of all time. #lego #NASA #MargaretHamilton
