Excited to moderate the "Call to action!" session featuring the Purpose-Led Publishing coalition, Liz Allen from Research Consulting and Chris Palazollo @emoryuniversity.bsky.social on the crisis in society publishing. Hope to keep this interactive and engaging - join us! (Carolina Ballroom, FM)

I've been on hold for a call so long that I no longer remember who I called or what I called them for.

Kudos to @nejm.org for their work to #DefendResearch against censorship by launching this effort. The undermining of MMWR is a tragedy. #Academictwitter #PublicHealthTwitter #StandUpForScience Sign the declaration to defend research @defendresearch.bsky.social! www.statnews.com/2025/10/21/c...

My three-year-old was reading Chris Cillizza’s Substack when she turned to me gravely and asked “daddy why did the woke mob put a flier on the nice man’s Tesla?” And when I told her “because the illiberal left is embracing violence,” she started crying.

Librarians are defending access, equity, and the right to knowledge, despite increasing polarisation, shrinking budgets, and rising costs. Discover how collaboration between librarians and publishers is shaping the future of information in our new article with Katina magazine.  bit.ly/4obLK66

If Matt iglesias has nothing else to say about American politics except that dems need to moderate their stance on climate, crime and immigration then he can stop podcasting and writing. I’m #HateListening to Politix podcast and it’s all “look, I dunno.” Every week. What does he add?

Beautiful, inspiring, & 100% accurate! So many passages I want to requote, but for now will stick with this from the closing: "Knowledge is worth your time because of how it shapes your mind. And the authoritarians may take many things from us, but they cannot take our minds (unless you let them)."

Nerds should never be “big” and “chewy.” Keep them small boxes of weirdly shaped crunchy candy. Is nothing sacred. #HotTake #ElderMillenial #DontMessWithMyChildhood

It's open access week! We, at @kcommons.bsky.social, are running a webinar later this week, showcasing what we do and what we have! Do please come join us... msu.zoom.us/meeting/regi... #oaweek25 #oaweek2025 #openaccessweek

@redalyc.bsky.social @doaj.bsky.social NRF South African #OpenAccess India join me for an important conversation during #openaccess week: For many scholars and institutions in the #GlobalSouth, the push for openness intersects with longstanding struggles over knowledge sovereignty. #OpenScience

Excited for #openaccess week webinars on knowledge ownership. TOMORROW Oct 21 11 am ET: George Cooper, Terri Teleen @emeraldpublishing.bsky.social, Josh Sendall @universityofleeds.bsky.social will talk impact of technology and politics to #DefendResearch and #StandUpForScience w/ AIPP

Deeply sad this isn’t real. For those who got excited about it, “A guest appearance from measles” should have been the giveaway… #AlsoMumpsAndPolio

This effort makes me think of things like the “nutrition label” that @pkp.sfu.ca is working on…

One week after our #DefendResearch event with @scholarlysocial.bsky.social, we’re still inspired by the conversations. As @rouhiroo.bsky.social#DefendResearchreminded us: “It’s a privilege to despair… any small thing is powerful.” Look out for more panellist insights and actions coming soon.

Resistance takes many forms! Consider attending this great @defendresearch.bsky.social event. Big thanks to SJSU for elevating this fight against #Censorship.

Thank you to the #ImpactProject for this new map showing the local harm to public health from the Trump Administration's actions: theimpactproject.org/public-healt...

OMG, this afternoon's ANTIFA Board of Directors meeting went on and on. I thought Jesus would *never* stop talking!

To he gentleman biking down 16th street - one of the busiest streets in Washington DC - with no helmet, wearing over-ear headphones and smoking a cigarette, I salute you. That’s some real “no f***s to give” energy. #SadButAlsoGlad #WhichWillKillYouFirst

for the writers 🖤

Burns me up that we have to keep saying this to #AcademicSky #ScienceSky #Polisky #SciSky and anyone else who will listen: We are along way from a truly equitable scientific enterprise. Full stop. Dr. Armenteras nails it. tinyurl.com/4y8yt3nx

Folks, it's really been a Tears for Fears Lady Gaga kind of morning over here.

#AcademicTwitter #ScienceSky #SciSky #PoliSky if you're in #Leeds, join the @scholarlysocial.bsky.social crew for an in person discussion with @emeraldpublishing.bsky.social and @defendresearch.bsky.social on dangers of #censorship to #AcademicFreedom. Details: www.tickettailor.com/events/schol...

France officially recognized Palestinian statehood at the UN, signaling growing international support for a two-state solution despite opposition from Israel and the U.S. The move adds momentum to global recognition efforts, but on-the-ground realities in Gaza and the West Bank

Fascism only works if it has a social base. I wrote a book about efforts across the country to organize predominantly white communities away from this base. How? By showing them their shared stake in fighting for racial and economic justice. The book is out Jan 2026. @surj.org

Where the separate divisions of ANTIFA landed on the beaches of Normandy on June 6, 1944:

"How do you define Diamond #openaccess?" There are many takes but in Europe, from the governmental/policy lens, it means "free-to-read, free-to-publish" full stop. Ideally that also = scholar/community led, equitable/open, multilingual but bottom line, no barriers to read/publish. #OpenScience

Excited to attend #ICSTI - international council of scientific and technical information -- forum for member orgs to experience/exchange/understand tech challenges driving innovation and key issues. Grateful to attend and rep #PurposeLedPublishing and AIP Publishing.

Great news for the Northeast. #StateOfMaryland @montgomerycountymd.bsky.social where you at? #Vaccinesafety #VaccinesSaveLives

He’s not wrong. Sign the Declaration to #DefendResearch against US govt censorship at defendresearch.org @defendresearch.bsky.social

Sometimes it's nice to remember that even Marcus Aurelius was like "you don't have to comment on everything bro"

Honored to have been able to represent @defendresearch.bsky.social @cern.bsky.social #OsFair2025 see you in 2027 and until then, keep up the fight! #DefendResearch defendresearch.org

Powerful language pointing to the master of living in the bureaucratic #UpsideDown #Censorship #DefendResearch #DefendAcademics

Chris makes #OpenScience extremely hip. #Osfair2025

Closing out with Dr. Chris Marcum, #OpenScience luminary - exciting way to close out #OSFair2025

But! I am hopeful that people will read this paper anyway - even the supplement! - and we're still working hard to launch a new Global Burden of Climate Change Study that can actually #CountEveryClimateDeath. And if you've read this far, I hope you'll share our work (and journalists... 📲📩👋). ❤️

Just another instance of #CensorshipInScience to further political ends. #DefendResearch and fight back by signing the Declaration to Defend research against #censorship: defendresearch.org

"We are not training researchers well on how to use AI. They have NO verification habits. We need to train them. In China they are introducing AI from first grade in school. We need to think collectively about this new skill set." @nataliamanola.bsky.social #OSfair2025

This #censorship of park service exhibits is exactly what we've been warning about and trying to mobilize against. I hope it's been added to #SaveOurSigns, but we need to stop this! We have toolkits to help you make your voice heard--please use them! www.defendresearch.org/take-action/...
