closing in on 2.5 years of “ongoing interest in the status of the barricades” (working on “open data” in a building that is physically barricaded with large orange gates and multiple ID checkpoints)

Bobst Building Entrance

I want to acknowledge the ongoing interest in the status of the barricades in front of Bobst. Campus Safety continues to evaluate and adjust security measures as needed. At this time, I’m not aware of any immediate plans to remove the barricades.

one of the many things this piece is about is the travesty that is scientific communication in the present-day, which enables high powered scientists at big institutions to claim authorship over 2000+ articles with varying levels of fraudulence that lead to real harms in the world
