Freedom of Speech, Freedom of Noise

Is freedom of speech universal? Who has the right to speech?

Aristotle says that “humans are political animals” because they possess the power of speech, which puts into common issues of justice and injustice. Animals, by contrast, can only express pleasure or pain. But how do we tell whether the person speaking is discussing matters of justice rather than just expressing their private pain?

It’s an interesting essay describing non-Western anecdotes giving inspection to the topic of freedom of speech.

The Power (Relations) of Citizen Science

We are familiar with city civic budgets, and what about civic science? We often hear complaints that scientists are out of touch with reality, that they cannot inspire the common man.

A scientist who conducts microplastics screening studies on the coast explains the way to cultivate open science citizenship. Adapted to the place where it is carried out. It is also open and de-institutionalized.

It is quite a practical story about this passion, but also a story about a place encountered by a novice undergoing research.
