"La Bibliotheque, un espace en libre-acces" I know basically zero French, but this poster immediately resonated with me while visiting the Geneva botanical garden on a trip for #OpenScience #Libraries

Great first day at the #OSFair2025 at CERN in Geneva. First a tour of the antimatter factory. I entered France on the way over without even knowing. Then a minute poster pitch i failed to prepare, capped off with the actual poster session and #wine #OpenScience

America cannot long remain free, nor first among nations, if it becomes the kind of place where universities are dismantled because they don't align politically with the current head of the government.

I started playing with the #NSF #GRFP award data (still open btw [1]). As we heard, this award program was also slashed [2] Below is a visual to see how we haven't had this few granted fellows for 15 years. [1] www.research.gov/grfp/Awardee... [2] www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Douse a Dean @ CMU carnival. My 2025 bingo did not have @terrainsvagues.bsky.social hitting a clean bullseye, dousing @cmkeithw.bsky.social while Not Like US played in the background

Literally. I just wanna try to help people a little and learn things?

I just want to do my work, man. That’s all any of us want to do.

Last month, the second #Reproducibility Hackathon @cmulibraries.bsky.social went off without a hitch. A fascinating study on #LLM writing and an opportunity that let many students reproduce it! #OpenScience library.cmu.edu/about/news/2...

This is going to kill many public libraries, especially in rural areas. If you use a public library, you will be impacted. #imls is a dust mote in the federal budget. It also provides things like internet at your local library so people can apply for jobs and kids can do homework.

Nicole Auvil used her sharp chemistry skills to help create a "super-sniffer" that can precisely analyze chemical compounds. www.cmu.edu/mcs/news-eve...

I'm hosting an event centered around #reproducibility, #OpenScience and #AI/#LLMs @cmulibraries.bsky.social Question of exploration: Do LLMs write like humans? Meta-question of exploration: Do data and code about LLMs writing like humans work reliably for students that access it? We'll see!

#NewMexicoTech was an excellent institution for me. We sensed that leadership was corrupt, but that quickly changed when President Stephen Wells arrived. I am not surprised at all that Wells uncovered this corruption and was forced out because of it. www.abqjournal.com/news/courts/...

Reporters: Please stop calling things DEI that are not DEI. This is only cementing the propaganda being used to legitimize the dismantling of all types of initiatives that are not DEI as well as legitimize efforts to end civil rights enforcement. Be specific with your language. Be accurate.

Email from Stanford leadership: “Based on our initial assessment, and in light of the extensive uncertainty about the Memo’s meaning, we do not believe it is necessary or appropriate to pause federally-funded research activities at Stanford at this time.” Phew,but incredible it even has to be said.

This. My dad had an endowed position but every other person in his lab was grant funded, often from cobbling together grants that each ran for years. To just stop all of them? People don't eat, AND in medical research, if people can't work you might lose whole experiments.

Interesting survey on trust in scientists >70k respondents, 68 countries. LOTs to digest, but when surveying for public perception of scientist trustworthiness: Openness scored the lowest between metrics of competence, benevolence, integrity, and openness! www.nature.com/articles/s41...

ACRL News, I beg of you, talk about book bans based on discrimination against Black and LGBTQ+ people, and the rise in antisemitism and islamophobia. It is like pulling teeth to get most of my academic library colleagues to acknowledge anything besides "AI" right now and you are not helping 🫠

In the last administration, we had a year of #OpenScience. But really, we have a lifetime of it, regardless of an administration that tries to hide it. bidenwhitehouse.archives.gov/ostp/

A quick reminder of this hopefully useful starter pack of librarians & library teams interested in open research (including open access, FAIR research data management, open licensing, open educational resources & more):

Shout out to all the Pod Bros who, when Elon was trying to buy Twitter, tripped over themselves to say what a genius he was and how much good he'd done for the electric vehicle market before saying that he shouldn't buy Twitter. Hope you're enjoying this.

Racism didn't go away after MLK. Racism didn't go away after Obama was elected. Racism didn't go away after George Floyd and BLM 2020. Racism is on a war path that feels even stronger today. #MLKday #inauguration

Remember, y’all: We are only sharing MLK quotes today that make people uncomfortable. Palatable Martin is retired until at least 2029.

Hackathon! Register by 2/15: guides.library.cmu.edu/hackathon "Machine learning and AI approaches to multimodal problems in computational biology." March 3-5. Hosted by CMU Libraries, @dnanexus.bsky.social + @dcgenomics.bsky.social at @carnegiemellon.bsky.social in PGH (virtual option available)

Today was not the first time I shoe-horned Open Science Framework into a research consult with a student. Will they bite? We'll see, @cos.io #OpenScience

When Skeptics Disagree. This talk is fantastic. I can't say more or else I would give away some of these excellent points. #skeptics #metascience youtu.be/D3z5kIANta0?...

Open science has made major progress in recent decades, but challenges persist. In a new piece for @timeshighered.bsky.social, our Senior Director of Research Tim Errington explains why #openscience must push for greater inclusivity and accessibility. 🗞️ Read more here: www.timeshighereduca...

Wrote an R script to automatically* download multiple components on the Open Science Framework. I manage an OSF project with 100+ components that I regularly back up, so it's a life-saver. 😌 Would anyone be interested in this? It's a bit of a niche way to use OSF (see below). #OpenScience #RStats

My name is Reese, I am a metascientist, and I have finally made it to Bluesky! Check out my blog, reeserichardson.blog. Here's some recent posts: 🧵

A cartoon about libraries for the Guardian.

I know academics who use AI regularly, for work and play, and I'd really like them, and universities, to tell me how they contend with AI's bottomless appetites for power and water. Is asking ChatGPT to interpret a Xmas song or making it write your syllabus worth this to you?

Carlos Santana (UPenn) argues that optimal openness is not maximum openness. Openness is one of the core values that govern science. Trade offs apply depending on contexts. #ScienceAndValues #philsci #philsky

Dozens of other copyright lawsuits against AI companies have been filed at a rapid clip. The plaintiffs include individual authors like Ta Nehisi-Coates, visual artists, media companies like The New York Times, and music-industry giants like Universal Music Group. We're tracking them all here:

If you can’t create a product without breaking the law to do so, then…uh, I guess you can’t create a product. ‘But it’s really cool and innovative’ doesn’t make it okay.

In hindsight, I may have preferred the direct path to librarianship, but my path from #computationalchemistry (challenging) to #openscience (enlightening) to #STEM librarianship (rewarding) was most fulfilling. Read a bit more about it here: doi.org/10.29173/ist...

❌ Myth: Posting a preprint leads to my work being scooped. ✔️ Truth: Preprints establish your priority with a timestamped, citable record, reducing the risk of scooping by proving you were the first to share your findings.

So hard to stomach, especially when you think about the man who loves the letter x

As someone who has a PhD in studying misinformation, I can professionally say that this is a fucking stupid idea.

SO happy to share that @drcpennington.bsky.social and I are co-editing a "Teaching Open Science" book with Elgar Publishing📕✨ It will be a book for educators who want to integrate open science principles into their teaching practices across disciplines. With a stellar line up of chapter authors!
