This is Elisabeth Wollman (1888-1943). Her life was extraordinary & her legacy is phenomenal.

In collaboration with her husband, Eugène, she was a pioneer of what became molecular genetics. This pic is her Pasteur Institute portrait from the early 1920s.

Their groundbreaking work was carried on by a colleague & their son, leading to a Nobel prize & more.

CW: The Wollmans' lives were ended in Auschwitz.

I've just created her Wikipedia page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elisabeth_Wollman

4 years ago today since I added Run DMC ft. Aerosmith to a video of the shadow of a millipede walking.

I don't give many talks these days as my health with kidney failure isn't up to it and I find it extremely tiring, but I am giving a number online in Sept for those interested.

Here's a reminder about Pasteur's Quadrant, which is referenced in the article (and I had to google)

We have many more threads about the #geoweirdness of specific countries, border disputes, geocoding, #geoeducation and more linked on our blog.

Hi everyone! We are pleased to join the community!

PKP is celebrating 25 years as a community-driven, research-based #FOSS initiative. We're known for Open Journal Systems (#OJS) publishing software, used by 30,000+ journals around the world for independent publishing.

Our community also develops and maintains Open Monograph Press (#OMP) and Open Preprint Systems (#OPS).

We'll be posting about our community, research, development, and advocacy efforts. Glad to be here!

#introduction

For a colleague new to the open research / schol comm space, any relatively current primers out there? There are some classics, but a lot is in flux right now. I'm looking for something that captures that.

Yay! The Directory of Open Access Books just passed another milestone. It now contains more than 70,000 #OpenAccess #books

If you were allowed to use the landline in 1980's West-Germany, you always had the option to make a free call to "113": While 110 and 112 were for emergencies, 113 opened the door to a "Telegrammaufnahme". Dictate your #telegram, and get it printed on paper and mailed with a postal service. This service was labelled under "Fernsprechsonderdienste" and only terminated in Germany in 2022, when no one used paper telegrams any longer.
