At this point I think I may be one of an incredibly small number of people to have read the second Sullivan report in detail. It is uniformly poor scholarship, containing flagrant fabrications and misrepresentations, calling into question Alice Sullivan's ability to conduct basic academic research

April was within a whisker of the hottest April ever (last year)—touching on 1.5°C above the 1850-1900 average. With 2023/24’s temporary extra warming from El Niño long gone, each month this persists adds weight to the persuasive theory that warming has accelerated. 🚨This needs our full attention🚨

We are delighted to share the news that eScience Lab co-lead @soilandreyes.bsky.social successfully defended his PhD dissertation at the University of Amsterdam last week. Congratulations, Dr Stian Soiland-Reyes! esciencelab.org.uk/announcement...

Congratulations Tony, glad to see BioFAIR in good hands!

Some people say that if you publish your research in a diamond open access journal it won't have "impact" 🙄 Yet here's me and my family watching a 60-minute BBC documentary all somewhat spawned by this paper published in Cadernos de Saúde Pública in 2009. Over 1200 citations too […]

in a pure market economy where citation conuts are part of your image, it makes perfect sense to budget cut away research fields that do not get a lot of citations I welcome a new academic age where we stop this thinking #openscience

This got a clap! #ipres2024 keynote from Herbert van de Sompel

In a guest @WebSciDL post, Herbert Van de Sompel discusses the recent move to register "doi:" as a URI scheme with IANA. TL;DR: It's likely more about branding than actual utility. ws-dl.blogspot.com/2024/11/2024...
