Bluetorial-A dream and a bit of a nightmare Serving as Editor-in-Chief at Science was fascinating. I greatly enjoyed working with talented and committed editorial, news, graphics, and production staff. But the inside look into scientific publishing and AAAS was also deeply disillusioning.

Open science is efficient: reusable code, data, results, and educational materials saves unnecessary work. Wen facing cutbacks, it's a bad idea to cut back on practices that increase efficiency! universonline.nl/nieuws/2025/...

“There is a lot of pressure to publish in mainstream journals even if we must pay for it,” [Ana María Cetto] says. “Ultimately, our resources go to rich countries so our researchers can have prestige in the community.” Nice piece on open access in Latin America. www.science.org/content/arti...
