🔥 Published today, and just in time for summer conferences, here are your guidelines for presenting badly www.nature.com/articles/s41... rdcu.be/fqa92

When utilized in literature review, LLMs consistently 1. fail to mention female authors in female-led literatures, 2. insist that men are more influential or more heavily cited when this is contradicted by objective citation counts, and 3. attribute women’s work to hallucinated male scholars.

📢 If you receive federal science funding and haven't 1) read about the proposed #OMB changes or 2) left comments on research.gov, please attend this @aas.org webinar. Even if you've done both, I encourage joining. Share with colleagues. #SaveScience #SaveResearch #FundScience #ScienceIsNotPolitical

"Protecting data is about more than data. It's about protecting the public's right to data, our right to information, our right to knowledge. Protecting data is about preserving a fundamental pillar of democracy." Excellent piece by @gretchengehrke.bsky.social

FYI, Academia.edu has changed its terms of service to give an irrevocable worldwide license for anything uploaded to its site to be used for generative AI. I do not consent to this and have pulled all my papers.

"Without NCAR’s infrastructure + supercomputing abilities, many small colleges & universities wouldn’t be able to do research with the latest models.

Lots of people on my feed are concerned about the destruction of NOAA by the Trump administration and Elon Musk, but much of what I’ve seen people post about is the national weather service. That’s vital, but NOAA does so much more than that! My latest, for @ucsusa.bsky.social 🧪🌎🦑🐠

GOOD MORNING EVERYONE! Have you taken three minutes to save the political independence of the civil service? It’s easy! Here’s how you can do it: news.chanda.science/archive/urge...

Elon Musk's DOGE has spent the last several months dismantling the departments & agencies that regulate HIS businesses. Our report found that Musk has a direct business interest in over 70% of the agencies & departments DOGE targeted. The conflicts of interest are endless.

We’ve received lots of comm about this today and partners are working on seeing what they can get secured. As an individual researcher please grab your own information and keep a copy.

The Trump administration plans to gut climate research at NOAA and NASA—key goals of the #Project2025 agenda. But what does that really mean, and why should you care? Dr. Marc Alessi breaks down how these cuts could impact us all:

Free-to-read opinion: We must ask how the crisis in the US can inform a more international, coordinated approach to countering geopolitical influence in research, write Louise Bezuidenhout and @hughshanahan.bsky.social www.researchprofessionalnews.com/rr-news-euro...

Thank you! www.rd-alliance.org/news/the-dat... 😊 🛟

We mostly focus on datasets, although we will help you find a home for any gov info. Figured y’all enjoy this.

I’m so proud to be a part of this awesome group. The Restricted access data issue is a major concern for us and should be for you too. Researchers are unable to access critical data for research. This is data we’ve paid for as taxpayers. You can help by speaking out and letting others know.

Awesome statement from PEDP and volunteers about the value of the federal digital infrastructure. Please share! www.nextgov.com/ideas/2025/0...
