“Trust in an AI-mediated knowledge environment is not inherited from prior reputational structures, it has to be actively built into the infrastructure.”

"[research] Infrastructure projects are expected to build tools, standards, repositories, workflows, or policies, and only later think about how communities might actually understand, adopt, trust, or even use them." upstream.force11.org/beyond-platf... @jacoates.bsky.social

Decisions impacting landscapes must account for peoples’ relationships with place.

Evidence-based conservation needs evidence too. “In a crisis discipline such as biodiversity conservation, resources must be used efficiently.” Taylor et al. argue we must evaluate when, where, & how investment in #evidence-informed #decision-making delivers the most impact. doi.org/10.1002/2688...

"... research is not a programme or an intervention, and tensions emerge from efforts to plan or evaluate its potential or real impact as though it is one" academic.oup.com/rev/article-...

"... proprietary system taxonomies limit the scope of reportable engagement and impact activities, rendering many academics’ information behaviours invisible." The solution? empirically derived taxonomies that more closely represent engagement and impact work vbn.aau.dk/ws/portalfil... #media

Federal climate scientists, fired by Trump, saved U.S. climate data and launched their own website, www.climate.us, to provide actual critical data after their NOAA programs were DOGEd. This is why they’re called public servants. www.npr.org/2026/06/26/n...

When environmental, political, & social stresses interact, aligning research #evidence with #decision-making is a major challenge & @stefandoring.bsky.social & Krampe emphasize that #trust is the “practical requirement for effective, legitimate, & sustainable decision-making” doi.org/10.1016/j.en...
