#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.
