About this site
This is not a typical blog, but rather a collection of posts forming series of notebooks. Instead of browsing in chronological order, a better way to explore this site is to start from categories or from pages.
To the extent possible under law,
Paweł Szczęsny
has waived all copyright and related or neighboring rights to
all original content on this site.
Given the blog is written from Poland, I cannot waive all copyrights anyway (it's illegal in here). So, while from legal point of view it's still CC-BY, I won't hunt anybody for lack of attribution. Treat it as it were in public domain.

In celebration of Open Access Week a few days ago I led a workshop entitled “Open Science. What is in for me?”. Workshop was organized by Kaunas University of Technology & The Lithuanian Society of Young Researchers and took a place in the beatiful city of Kaunas. The slides are below: Open Science workshop at [...]

Google’s Panda and the research assessment
31, Aug 2011Search engine optimization is a fascinating field. I was playing around with the concept, looking for holes in search algorithms or browsers source code a long time ago but I’m trying to catch up with developments a few times a year. Most of Google users haven’t noticed its new algorithm for scoring pages called Panda. [...]
The evolution of selves by open citizen science
4, Jul 2011This post summarizes my current focus in area of open science. Whether concepts presented here could make their way into practice, that’s still to be seen. So, consider this a work in progress. I’m happy to be proven wrong, change my opinion or get myself sold into other ideas. On (open) science Science (like almost [...]
One step closer to open science
29, Jun 2011You know the news already: The Howard Hughes Medical Institute, the Max Planck Society and the Wellcome Trust announced today that they are to support a new, top-tier, open access journal for biomedical and life sciences research. The three organisations aim to establish a new journal that will attract and define the very best research publications from across [...]

Homeschoolers and open citizen science
1, Jun 2011I’ve recently attended a meeting of Polish homeschoolers. Homeschooling is not that popular in Poland as for example in US. One of the reasons is that it’s basically illegal in here to teach kids at home and a waiver is given only in special cases. Nevertheless there were ca. hundred parents there and I’m sure [...]
Ten commandments of open science
17, Apr 2011No, this is not “Ten simple rules of open science” (although it could be nice if we could write such article and publish it at PLoS Computational Biology) – this is the list of TEN COMMANDMENTS of open science: 1. You shall give everything away free (do not over-protect your research); do not patent – sell [...]

Image by Rain Rabbit via Flickr I’ve written previously about an utopian idea of having one scientific journal and one scientific community. And while it’s hard to expect this vision comes true anytime soon, surprisingly we are getting closer to it day by day. Sciverse is currently excited about NPG launching new journal called Scientific [...]

Launching a Polish fork of Science 3.0 portal
26, Oct 2010With the momentum gained after launching an aggregator of Polish science blogs, together with Mark we’ve decided to launch a Polish fork of Science 3.0 portal. It took significantly more work than the aggregator alone, but hopefully it was worth it. My hope is to create a common discussion space for people interested in an [...]

Too many open loops or new type of science?
13, Oct 2010I guess all online scientists struggle to find a balance between a number of projects they are willing to commit to and a number of projects they are physically able to work on. What used to be the case for high-profile people (visibility increases number of interesting offers coming to you), it’s currently the case [...]

From CC-BY to CC-Zero
14, Jan 2011I’ve never been satisfied with “attribution” part of Creative Commons licenses and obviously I’m not alone in this camp. The main issue is that while CC terms require attribution in the manner required by author, parties resharing the creative work rarely check these requirements. Frequently authors of images posted to Flickr complain that some high [...]
