We need to explain much more and much better that improvements on research assessment are already underway, stressed @pastorams.bsky.social, co-chair of the EUA Expert Group on Open Science and co-chair of the @coarassessment.bsky.social Working Group on Academic Careers, today at #OSFair2025

So glad to have the opportunity of enjoying the #OSFair2025 at @cern.bsky.social and learning so much from esteemed colleagues ✨

On my way to Geneva to participate in the #OSFair2025 If you are attending the conference at CERN join us tomorrow in the session connecting #openscience and a more responsible research assessment ✨

Molt enriquidora la jornada sobre la reforma de l’avaluació de la recerca alineada amb @coarassessment.bsky.social ✨ Molts bons exemples i propostes d’universitats i centres catalans. Un espai necessari! Gracias a l’ @ibecbarcelona.eu per organitzar-ho i a @cerca.cat per donar-li suport 🙌

After many months of discussions and rewriting, finally the EUA briefing on the current situation of the scholarly communication system is out 🙌 You will also find some recommendations for universities to reshape it and restore academic ownership 🙏 to all that made it happen

Cuando se habla de ecosistema científico como un tejido básico para que despunte la I+D y la innovación, deberíamos estar hablando no solo de una masa crítica suficiente de organizaciones sino de las conexiones entre entre ellas para que funcionen en red www.lavanguardia.com/ciencia/2025...

Scoping review on academic impacts of #OpenScience ✅ Most studies reporting positive or at least mixed impacts. 🆘 Also unintended negative impacts mostly on equity, diversity and inclusion. ‼️Main barriers: lack of skills, resources and infrastructure. royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/...

Como esta semana es la temporada alta de las científicas por el #11F, aprovecho a responder "¿Por qué queréis que haya más mujeres en ciencia?" Porque necesitamos diversidad en las preguntas que se hacen y que nuestra trayectoria vital y saberes estén presentes. En conclusión: queremos MEJOR CIENCIA

Todos los días son #11F #diadelamujerylaniñaenlaciencia ✊💜

Excellent 🧵 on this evening's NIH announcement of a dramatic reduction in indirect rates for research institutions, which amounts to a generational restructuring of the US research and development ecosystem. These cuts are effective immediately, not just for new grants but for existing ones.

Research universities are often the largest employers in their region. They are often the primary health care providers to communities. This funding shift will not only reduce US research leadership, it will put working people out of work and reduce healthcare access.

In 2014, I wrote an essay on the rise of "algorithmic regulation" / "lean start-up" imaginary in government circles. In it, I argued that Silicon Valley's recipe for government efficiency would - at best - yield the "Singaporization" of liberal democracy. But there were much worse options.🧵 below

In short: no

The Internet Archive has to date downloaded 500 terabytes of US government websites, which it crawls at the end of every presidential term. The whole archive is fully searchable.
