I am nervous but also excited about this. Expressing excitement is not my strength; rest assured I am feeling it inside. I am also glad that I am not alone and continue to be grateful for the cheers and support from my colleagues at @abrir.bsky.social @almajeftic.bsky.social @brendanchng.bsky.social

🌍 Glad to see our paper out!

🚨 @abrir.bsky.social 🚨

Screenshot of a Nature article titled "How a ‘boring administrative task’ transformed my PhD career," published on 14 April 2025 in the Career Column section. The subtitle reads, "Good ideas — and impactful tools — don’t just come from rich, Western nations, says Aleksandra Lazić, a social scientist in Serbia." The article is written by Aleksandra Lazić, whose name appears as a clickable link.

Open science isn't just for the rich.

I wrote about building #REPOPSI – a repository of psychological instruments in Serbian – and what it taught me about doing #OpenScience with limited resources and lots of persistence. #PhDSky

Interview with Aleksandra Lazić – first recipient of the Sarah Jones Award | GÉANT CONNECT Online Aleksandra Lazić, PhD and co-founder of REPOPSI, was awarded the Sarah Jones Award for her outstanding contribution to Open Science collaboration and inclusion.

I haven't done an interview since elementary school, hope I've improved! 😄 Thanks to GÉANT geant.org for inviting me to share my #OpenScience journey in the latest CONNECT Magazine, highlighting the amazing communities that made a difference:
