In an automatic transcript, the ESA "Don Quijote" mission has been written as "Donkey Shot". Since this was a concept to deflect an asteroid, I cannot help but feel this would have been a GREAT NAME. (Don Quijote would ultimately become the DART/Hera missions to asteroids Didymos and Dimorphos.)

What if you want to deviate from you preregistration but keep the label "confirmatory"? Cas Goos introduces multi-stage registration as a solution. Read all about it in the semi-new (I somehow missed a month of blogging?) blog post from the Meta-Research Center: metaresearch.nl/blog/2025/5/...

The Canadian Open Neuroscience Platform (CONP) was launched in 2017 by scientists who believe research should be open, collaborative, and shared. Here, neuroscientist Alan Evans explains why collecting data and sharing it openly is so important. 📽️ youtu.be/Ibh6ie5tSus?...

🚨BREAKING. From a program officer at the National Science Foundation, a list of keywords that can cause a grant to be pulled. I will be sharing screenshots of these keywords along with a decision tree. Please share widely. This is a crisis for academic freedom & science.

Is there any good app for academic CVs? I am looking for - Multi language support - Export long vs. short versions automatically - Link with e.g. ORCID/Zotero for papers Probably such an app doesnt exist but I thought worth asking the hive mind. 🙏

It’s wild that there are some internal medicine docs who spent the entire TikTok ban rounding

MIT researchers introduce Boltz-1, a fully open-source model for predicting biomolecular structures With models like AlphaFold3 limited to academic research, the team built an equivalent alternative, to encourage innovation more broadly www.eurekalert.org/news-release...

When news reports about scientific papers make causal claims that are not justified by the original study, the mistake often traces to a university press release. Here, observational data reveals an association. The press release asserts causality. today.ucsd.edu/story/walkab...
