🔎What happens when research meets the city?

On Friday, 25 September, the Department of Classical Philology and Italian Studies opened its doors for the European Researchers’ Night 2026. At the Research Centre for Open Scholarly Metadata, we had the chance to introduce visitors to #OpenCitations and share what we do with citizens, students, and fellow researchers.

💡Explaining the concepts behind scholarly metadata and open citations to a curious non-specialist audience was certainly a challenge, but a really exciting one!

Thank you to everyone who stopped by and joined the conversation!

tra questo, e l'euro digitale, non si capisce quanto tempo ci stanno mettendo.

@cstross It's so weird that English uses a French expression that is different from the French version, «droit de cuissage» which is more explicit…

RT: @SaulStaniforth ".. the argument starts to become whether you will split the progressive vote.."

@ZackPolanski: "I don't think you can describe Labour as a progressive vote. They are still arresting pensioners for holding carboard signs saying 'I support Palestine Action'" 🎯

"AI-powered probes targeted Canadian and US government sites, with officials reporting no evidence of successful breaches"

...which includes the following lovely quote:

‘Anarchists know that a long period of education must precede any great fundamental change in society, hence they do not believe in vote begging, nor political campaigns, but rather in the development of self-thinking individuals’ – Lucy Parsons.

I am back in the city again, using $0.03/KWh. I paid $4 for electricity last week, but I miss my #offgrid cabin in the country with zero utility bills.

Oil and gas consumption in this country is NOT sustainable and requires subsidies for it to exist. I wish the electrical grid was subsidized and was absolutely free to share the crazy excess solar and battery power with my neighbors. So much power it is insane.

My solar system is a smaller one, 10KW/KWh, but the average home uses only a kilowatt or two on average. What do you do with the rest of that surplus? You could open up the windows and doors while the heat/cold is running, charge the EV, run the clothes dryer, but there's still surplus.

Stop supporting the unsustainable whale oil industry. The time could be now. Wars and borders would be a billionaire relic of the past. You want nuclear power, nuclear fusion from the sun is free and safe, but please use sunblock to keep your skin young and body healthy.
