@oshwassociation Got to chat today with Andy Quitmeyer & Paula Te about #Dinacon, on #HacksterCafe! youtube.com/watch?v=MzmGka5clM

Among our topics: digital #naturalism, #CitizenScience, custom glue, DIY dynamos, collaboration with local & nomadic groups at locations around the planet, contextual crafting, and open-source documentation... plus a sweet "BrailleRAP" machine at the end! (That's the thing featured in the thumbnail.) 🤩✨

💻 Einstein@Home at the Maker Faire Hannover ✨

💬 Schaut an unserem Stand (Nr. 157 in der Eilenriedehalle) vorbei, um mit unseren Entwicklern und Wissenschaftler*innen zu sprechen.

🌌 Erfahrt mehr über @einsteinathome und wie ihr mit euren Computer astronomische Entdeckungen machen könnt, die dabei helfen, die Geheimnisse des Kosmos zu entschlüsseln.

Charles Sturt University researchers studied the dance moves of cockatoos on videos and in a zoo.

"Playing music to parrots may improve their welfare," Professor Freire said.

But which music do cockatoos prefer??? I feel that a thorough citizen science study needs to be launched.

Do we need a Triple J top 100 countdown for cockatoos???

Perhaps a Dancing with the Birds TV show is in order?

I love the example of the church. There are so many churches in Europe that have terrible, wasteful floodlights, and they are missing out on the opportunity to do something much more creative with much lower environmental impact.

🌞 Happy Summer from the #CitiObs Team! 🌞

As summer unfolds, the CitiObs team wishes you a season filled with sunshine, rest, and inspiration from the world around you! 🌍💬

We’ll reconnect with more #tools, stories, and actions that make #citizenscience matter.

Enjoy your break and stay curious!

Not only does this sound like fun, but it's great for science. I would love to participate in something like this!
