Apropos of the Zotero conversation, this post I did about technology and research management is 10 years old but I think some of the advice is sound. It's also a good reminder of how very new/newly accessible many tools are.

The only message not voting sends to a politician is that your opinion can be safely ignored because you will never hold them accountable. That's it. You can tell yourself not voting is good for your personal brand or your moral well being, but never pretend it makes a difference in the real world.

A few have suggested that some aspects of this mission--joy, international teamwork, diversity--are being played up to stick it to the hateful attitude of the administration. But I don't think it's that. I think it's just that those things are essential to and inseparable from a mission like this.

I had better see a record number of reposts on this.
