"Beakers, pipettes, flasks and more. Few people realize that skilled artisans make most scientific glassware by hand (and mouth). This career truly marries art and science. Some people came to glassblowing after training in science. Others started as artists who realized their craft could help advance cutting-edge research"

I checked with uBlock origin the day I posted that, and it was blocking 2 items from Google. Checking now I see Matomo instead, so thank you.

La Cumbre que no fue: antecedentes de la CMSI a veinte años de su celebración
Por Inés Binder y Santiago García Gago, Radios Libres
Este año se cumplen 20 años de la Cumbre Mundial de la Sociedad de la Información (CMSI)...
A veinte años de aquel evento, nos parece conveniente hacer memoria de cómo y quién construyen los consensos sobre el modelo de desarrollo tecnológico. No exclusivamente como un ejercicio histórico, si no para estar pendientes de los designios de las tecnologías que están en pleno desarrollo en este momento.
Extracto de la nota publicada en la Revista digital Internet Ciudadana N° 14 – Julio 2025 – «CMSI+20: ¿Comunicación en manos del Big Tech o de los pueblos?«
