Back in 2019 I wrote that more often than not when describing a target audience for scientific output there is a dichotomy between ‘academic’ and ‘the general public’. This still happens and more often than ever projects proposals include an aspect of this 'citizen science'

Last week I was yet at another conference (much more local this time) and the last plenary speaker, Professor Roberto Danovaro, was definitely a thoughts provoker.
We are back to in person conferences .
Ecsa59 A breath of fresh air , after being behind computer screens. Yes, it was a lot of people travelling - but the energy in the room was definitely worth all of the air miles . Because science is not made by individuals but is made in a group , and connections are as important as papers if not more . Remember the last conference I went to ? was all about ‘sustainable development goals’ , this year was all about restoration (well, we are in the decade of restoration). Other topics were touched upon but in the minority. Or maybe as tools to aid in restoration practices . And best, we all acknowledge that while scientific output is important and some ‘competition’ can be healthy , is much more important to be collaborative and share and combine efforts. So here we are , conference is over , notebook is full of new ideas just in time for back to school; and you will be forgiving for this short post (if I promise that I will expand on some topics in the next weeks), given that I am a bit brain overloaded and in need of a lot of sleep (self care is also important ;) ) Salagadoola mechicka boola
