An anonymous parody of the "bros" in the open science movement. On its face, it seems contrary to the communication styles that are being critiqued. But notice how the easily the parody gets the points across! 8/n

In a few short tweets, I understand
@ArinaBones2's position much deeper than I could have if they had laid it out in another style. I also understand the frustration they feel. Looking at their profile, I understand how they see the groups in the "movement". 9/n1 reply 2 retweets 5 likesShow this thread -
Is it "mean" or "uncivil? NO. Now, don't get me wrong, I think *some* people would find it uncivil, and I think some would (wrongly) accuse
@ArinaBones2 of hypocrisy. Don't. They are using the full range of communication styles to voice an opinion. 10/n1 reply 2 retweets 5 likesShow this thread -
Some people will find this effective, others not. Some might react negatively now, but positively later. Some might find that if they meet

But lets make some allowance for some negative reactions to communication. Learning is not always comfortable, and neither is understanding that others are frustrated. Communicating that frustration is crucial is part of what makes the open science movement real. 12/12

Another ex. is
@o_guest's term "bropen science". In a single word, she communicates something important about the relationship between masculinity and the open science movement. Is it pejorative? Yes. Will some react negatively? Yes. Let them. Some get it. 13/123 replies 7 retweets 23 likesShow this thread -
