While I can't argue with the author's point, I do want to say that "library work" is a lot more than citation checking. Any librarian will be happy to share what their "library work" entails. Anyone else a bit miffed by this comment? www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Hey #OpenScience friends! Are you considering submitting a response to the NIH RFI on Allowable Costs? If so, can you DM me? I'd love to coordinate with you. Let's ORGANIZE and make a difference together! #ScholarlyCommunication #OpenData #OpenResearch

yup.

Super excited to be working with @schmidtsciences.bsky.social as a supporting member!

Serving in AmeriCorps is how I gained workforce skills and contributed to the public good after graduating with a BA into a recession. Like the others, this cut will hurt smaller organizations, rural communities, and young people most. nonprofitquarterly.org/the-good-the...

A badly misguided court order in a copyright lawsuit requires OpenAI to store all consumer ChatGPT conversations indefinitely—even if a user tries to delete them.

I was really excited to read this piece on #openpeerreview at the Journal of Neuroscience.... but it's behind a paywall. 🤦🏽 #openfail #thatsnotopenscience #opr

Good on you @nature.com A step in the right direction. Would love to see those referee reports to get DOIs, and to strip away the option for anonymity.

reputable medical journals keep saying that RFK and his pro-disease friends are full of shit and so naturally they must be shunned www.politico.com/news/2025/05...

This piece from @nytimes.com includes some pretty shocking data visualizations of NSF funding cuts by discipline. Worth a skim at least. #budgetcuts #nsf #fundingcuts #investinscience

Supreme court blocks Trump bid to resume deportations under 1798 law

Oh just librarians defending democracy again. #libraryofcongress #LOC

Trying to wrap my head around what it means for #openscience that the Register of Copyrights and the Librarian of Congress were fired after the release of the AI report. @us.theguardian.com

In a wide-ranging interview with The New York Times, the billionaire Bill Gates discussed Elon Musk’s “stunning” reductions to USAID. He also spoke about his decision to accelerate the end of his foundation’s giving and his plans for his personal fortune. nyti.ms/3Si2WJ7

I'm super excited to get my head fully back into the open movement after a three year hiatus while I was a union president. So honored to start my work at @sparcopen.bsky.social as the Director of the Open Research Funders Group. 🙌 Got any "must reads" that I probably missed the past three years?

Professor Says College Fired Him for Telling 3 Students U.S. Is Fascist After Election The tenured faculty member said Millsaps College argued that his email could be misconstrued as speaking on behalf of the institution. He’s appealing to the board. #HigherEd #EDUSky #AcademicSky bit.ly/4ajsyNR

Hey Angelenos! I have a spare room available for you in Portland, Oregon if you need a spot to land and regroup. One human roommate (me) and two feline roommates. Send me a note and let’s talk!!!

Philosophy department is getting slashed, despite their incredible contributions to higher education on campus and in our community. Can you help push back? #portlandstateuniversity #layoffs

For my LA folks. HMU if you need a spare bedroom to crash in for a bit and get a respite up here in the PNW.

Tell Providence we want patients before profits. #laborstrike #solidarity

PDX faculty and academic workers fighting for a contract. Admin prioritizes buildings and athletics over teaching and learning— 17 teaching faculty laid off! Faculty union on the path toward a #strike. Can you support the strike fund? #laborunion #solidarity #academicworker

Portland Community College directed its nursing faculty to cross the picket line of the largest healthcare strike in Oregon history. Read the very spicy reply from our union lawyer. (TL;DR: You idiots. This is illegal. Knock it off) #ProvStrike2025
