If anyone would like to help me set up these communities and/or mod, please get in touch. This place is what we make it and I’d love some fresh ideas. I mod a number of smaller science subreddits and would like to help make this place just as nice, if not better! You do not need experience. :)

The idea in this post is to share the software tools I use for my research, which I hope will be helpful for others, especially those without money or enough resources. #researchtools #lowbudgetresearch #poorresearchers #freesoftware #opensource #writing #dataanalysis #research

cross-posted from: https://szmer.info/post/5995617

David Rolfe Graeber (/ˈɡreɪbər/; February 12, 1961 – September 2, 2020) was an American anthropologist and anarchist activist. His influential work in economic anthropology, particularly his books Debt: The First 5,000 Years (2011), Bullshit Jobs (2018), and The Dawn of Everything (2021), and his leading role in the Occupy movement, earned him recognition as one of the foremost anthropologists and left-wing thinkers of his time.
