For today's @scholarlykitchen.bsky.social I got to talk to my old @wiley.com colleague Liz Ferguson about the rise of digital end-to-end publishing systems including Wiley's Research Exchange (REX) scholarlykitchen.sspnet.org/2025/10/01/i...

"Data manipulation by the US Gov...makes crucial datasets untrustworthy and unusable. If the US Government secretly changes datasets for political reasons, researchers relying on the data might erroneously recommend ineffective or counterproductive interventions." www.thelancet.com/journals/lan...

Many of these sites were restored under a court order (if laws still apply). We urge data rescue groups to ensure webpages are archived and local public health agencies to use caution when linking to CDC sites. Consider alternate sources. 💔

Time to cancel my Disney subscription 🤬🤬🤬

I hope all state governors will pay attention

If you’re on academia dot edu, let me suggest that you strongly consider deleting your account.

In a couple of hours I’ll be moderating a #NISOPlus2025 panel on the @pkp.sfu.ca Publication Facts Label w/ John Willinsky of PKP, Hannah Heckner Swain of @silverchairnews.bsky.social & Jane Taylor of @oxfordunipress.bsky.social Hope to see you there!

If you're attending #NISOPlus2025 I hope you'll join me tomorrow (9/16) at 11 ET for a thought-provoking discussion w/ @epentz.bsky.social Peter Suber & @tteleen.bsky.social on Is Scholarly #Metadata a Tool of Resistance or a Point of Vulnerability? nisoplusglobalonline.cadmore.media/Home

One for the municipal policy wonks (and hopefully maybe a few other people): Brookline's annual audit is delayed by six months, part of a newly-emerging statewide problem caused by rapid consolidation in the accounting industry and unresponsive big firms. brookline.news/delay-in-bro...

Welcome to #PeerReviewWeek2025 on @scholarlykitchen.bsky.social - many thanks to @roohighosh.bsky.social & Maryam Sayab for this years week of posts incl today’s thoughts from @irfanullah.bsky.social Tim Vines, Hong Zhou, Maryam & me scholarlykitchen.sspnet.org/2025/09/15/a...

A fun Friday post for your reading enjoyment 😊 www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

Student, to professor: "I'm not entirely sure this is legal to be teaching, because according to our president there's only two genders... and I don't want to promote something that is against our president's laws as well as against my religious beliefs" www.kbtx.com/2025/09/09/a...

It was a pleasure to work with Salina Gray, Raquel Tamez & Rochelle L. Williams on this update to their 2019 @scholarlykitchen.bsky.social interview on being leaders who are women of color. My thanks to them for sharing their wisdom & experience 6 years on scholarlykitchen.sspnet.org/2025/09/08/r...

There is, as of right now, no coverage of this protest on the WaPo website or in their @washingtonpost.com feed. So, if you (you reading this) want people to SEE this protest, you must share it.

I'm really looking forward to both of these (very different!) sessions. Great speakers with lots of interesting ideas to share!And as @nisoinfo.bsky.social conferences always focus on concrete outcomes, hopefully we'll be able to make some of those ideas a reality 😊

President Trump has revoked the Secret Service detail for former vice president Kamala Harris, extended by President Biden, about a month before Harris is scheduled to embark on a national book tour.

And here's the @orcid.org white paper itself in case you're interested 😊 doi.org/10.5281/zeno...

It’s not every day (or ever actually!) that I get quoted in @nature.com - this piece about @orcid.org draws on my @scholarlykitchen.bsky.social post on our recent @morebrains.coop white paper 🥰 www.nature.com/articles/d41...

😢🤬😢🤬

I’m looking forward to what should be an interesting & thought-provoking discussion between @lschiff.bsky.social who initiated the Declaration to #DefendResearch against US govt #censorship & reps from 2 orgs that signed it - @cilip.bsky.social & @emeraldpublishing.bsky.social Thanks to them all!

There are way fewer of these weird but amazing crabs in the Wellfleet bay near us than there were when we first started visiting 25+ years ago 😢

💯💯💯

Sigh…

'how do people become billionaires anyways' u might wonder

If this actually happens it will massively disrespectful of all the many amazing people who genuinely deserve(d) to be honored

ICYMI (I did) @nationalacademies.org NAM put out this statement about the importance of protecting govt data following Trump's firing of Erika McEntarfer as head of Bureau of Labor Stats #censorship #DefendResearch www.nationalacademies.org/news/2025/08...

CALL TO ACTION: If you are in the DC area, drop everything you are doing and go join others at 5pm EST in Dupont Circle to protest Trump’s illegal military occupation and efforts to federalize DC police. #3E #freeDC

Is it just me or does anyone else find it deeply disturbing that the locals near where Vance & co are staying are not only being asked who’s living in their homes but also about their social media!!?? (I’m surprised this isn’t in the headlines TBH)

I thoroughly enjoyed #ISMTE2025 - my 1st ever! Lovely people, great sessions, amazing food, all in one of my favorite cities #Montreal Many thanks for chance to talk yesterday about the declaration to #DefendResearch in the plenary & about @morebrains.coop work on #ImageIntegrity in an #AI session 🙏

More evidence that go it alone is a bad strategy.

My dad had one of these but gave it to a friend as a wedding present 😬😂🥰 www.theguardian.com/books/2025/a...

If you’ll be in the Bay Area on 8/20 I strongly encourage you to sign up for #NeedNiteSF - my #DefendResearch declaration team member @lschiff.bsky.social will be talking about the dangers of #censorship & how to fight back! sf.nerdnite.com/2025/08/01/t...

Distortion and elimination of data are forms of #censorship that need to be called out and loudly denounced! Use our toolkits to take these actions! defendresearch.org

RIP #TomLehrer - he was my dads favorite so I grew up listening to & loving him. All his songs are brilliant but my personal fave is We Will All Go Together When We Go (We will all fry together when we fry, we’ll be French fries together by & by…) www.theguardian.com/music/2025/j...

This ⬇️⬇️⬇️ Thanks @lschiff.bsky.social for sharing! @kawulf.bsky.social in case you haven’t seen it www.deseret.com/opinion/2025...

we will look back on this era and realize the student newspapers were the free press. www.thedp.com/article/2025...

If it looks like #censorship and sounds like censorship… #DefendResearch www.theguardian.com/education/20...

I’m a bit late reading @rharington1.bsky.social’s @scholarlykitchen.bsky.social post on preprints as part of the (math - at least) publishing ecosystem. May not work for all disciplines but all could learn from this holistic approach! scholarlykitchen.sspnet.org/2025/07/14/p...

If you want a TL:DR version of Josh Brown's & my recent white paper on why @orcid.org is better in combination with other researcher identifiers, look no further! I wrote it up for today's @scholarlykitchen.bsky.social 😊 scholarlykitchen.sspnet.org/2025/07/16/b...

Thanks & kudos to ARL, ACRL, @aupresses.bsky.social @scholarlypub.bsky.social & @stmassoc.bsky.social - libraries & publishers finally coming together to #DefendResearch! I wish the statement had highlighted #censorship & #DEIA - still a great initiative! scholarlykitchen.sspnet.org/2025/07/09/t...

Wonderful news! Many thanks to @lariviev.bsky.social & all the nearly 5k other organizational & individual signatories of the #DefendResearch Declaration!

Today would have been my lovely mum’s 94th birthday - and it’s also the exact halfway point of the year, a fact she was inordinately proud of 😂🥰

It’s always nice to share some good news about DEI - especially when there’s so much bad news about. Thank you @theguardian.com for sharing this uplifting story! www.theguardian.com/news/2025/ju...
