#OpenScience: I had the opportunity to work as recommender for #PCI_ecology, the new initiative for free and fully transparent #peer_review in #ecology. I greatly appreciated the experience. #Science #publication is on the verge of a new era. #PeerCommunityIn

#cOALitionS, making #OpenAccess a reality in #science? Major European funding organisations have agreed that researches publicly funded will be OpenAccess by 2020. I certainly cannot agree more, provided that we receive appropriate financial support to cover the inevitable additional costs. #OpenScience

Great news: my favourite tool for planning #running sessions #onthegomap https://onthegomap.com breaks free from #Google. Instead of Googlemap, it is now using #OpenStreetMap data. Even if some functions (searching box, elevation, etc.) are still missing, I congratulate the author for this brave move. #map #opensource

While I am still a great fan of Kahneman's best seller "Thinking, fast and slow" (2011), here are refreshing views about the pervasive presentation of #decision making processes based on two orthogonal systems: type I (fast, unconscious, automatic, error prone) vs. type II (slow, conscious, costly, reliable). #psychology #cognition #heuristic #rationality #science
