Publishers take ResearchGate to court, alleging massive copyright infringement
"Scholarly publishing giants Elsevier and the American Chemical Society (ACS) have filed a lawsuit in Germany against ResearchGate, a popular academic networking site, alleging copyright infringement on a mass scale. The move comes after a larger group of publishers became dissatisfied with ResearchGate’s response to a request to alter its article-sharing practices."
This was just a matter of time.

Lakes of mercury and human sacrifices – after 1,800 years, Teotihuacan reveals its treasures
"When archaeologists found a tunnel under Mexico’s ‘birthplace of the gods’, they could only dream of the riches they would discover. Now its wonders – from jewel-eyed figures to necklaces of human teeth – are being revealed to the world"

Law & Lawrence
diegolego, 10:54h
Ich habe ja nie viel Computer gespielt, finde sie aber trotzdem spannend. Deswegen die folgende Meldung:
law professor Lawrence Lessig will design the politics in online game Seed.
"Lawrence Lessig has spent his career studying constitutional law, and he has been helping new democracies to form the legal frameworks for governance. Now he is lending his expertise to Berlin-based independent game developer Klang to build the political framework for the upcoming massively multiplayer online game Seed."

The Protege Truth
diegolego, 09:08h
Somewhere I found this blog post about what the writer calls the The Genius Fallacy.
I would like to add one thing, namely that one needs to be a protégé(e). Often enough one can see that colleagues achieving something do so, because of more or less heavy support - in particular behind the scenes. And maybe what the author describes influences how the 'mentor' chooses his or her protégé(e).
A somehow related, recent article was about the stories behind a CV. Somehow there seems to be a trend among academics to admit how hard and struggling career is.
Btw: the author also wrote about the structured procrastination trap (which I did not reead).
