Can't sleep so reviewing proposals for the coming Creative Commons Summit in September. So great to see so many solid proposals after the challenging COVID year. It's going to be very interesting indeed celebrating CC's 20th anniversary! #CCSummit21 summit.creativecommons.org

Honored to be part of this global effort (9 authors, 8 countries, 4 continents!) to make high quality medical content available on Wikipedia and Wikidata. And such a great group of people. @mendesthiagob, this would not have happened without your work and leadership. Exciting.

So great to get support from "home"! Thank you, Gitter-Smolarz Library of Life Sciences & Medicine, for always supporting my work, and TAU Gray Faculty of Medical & Health Sciences for believing in this course way back in 2013, when it was still a new idea that was not tried elsewhere. It means a lot. <3

My course at Tel Aviv University, "From Web 2.0 to Web 3.0, from Wikipedia to Wikidata", has just won the "Data Literacy" community award at WikidataCon. Honored, humbled and thankful. Nothing beats being recognized by your own community. Here's to exploring new frontiers together! 🥂

Thrilled my article, "Investigating the Potential of the Semantic Web for Education: Exploring Wikidata as a Learning Platform", has finally been published. It makes the case for #Wikidata in #Education, sharing uses, benefits and challenges. A milestone. rdcu.be/c7x2J
