Nathalie Baye est décédée. L’hommage rendu par Franceinfo: "elle a donné la réplique aux plus grands : Alain Delon, Gérard Depardieu...". Ne changez rien, les journalistes 🫤

I rarely do content warnings but this is very bad. Like with some movies, I had to take breaks. Why this is so bad is the core of all traumatic events: the impossibility to understand the why. Men, get treatment. Srsly

"Contemporary science is evolving at a breathtaking pace, but archival practice is struggling to keep up—especially when it comes to capturing not just the final products of research but the full, dynamic process by which science is made." www.aip.org/library/ex-l...

“the move seems to be a case of austerity dressed up as ethical decision-making, withdrawing support for the idea of #OpenAccess while claiming it’s all about profiteering” (ouch!) Some hard truths in the linked article below - both it and @richardsever.bsky.social’s commentary well worth reading👇

65th and 66th retractions for the IHU in Marseille. The 53rd and 54th for Didier Raoult. Lack of ethical approval or repurposing of ethical approval. As usual, the authors are not responding, and the university is clumsily attempting to cover it up.

Our two Iranian co-authors, Saeed Shafiei Sabet of the University of Guilan and Marziyeh Amini Fard may not know about these positive reviews for our manuscript, because my emails to them continue to bounce. I wanted to recognize them here because I'm very concerned about their future.

Openalex is great but this number is probably hugely inflated. Eg all versions of zenodo repositories and OSF preprints appear as separate entities in OA search results.

Diamond OA is normatively attractive — but structurally limited. Not an industrial-scale replacement for scholarly publishing, but a tailored solution for specific communities. That may be enough. #OpenAccess #DiamondOA pulse49.com/2026/03/23/d...

This is an excellent summary of the US War on Iran current situation. I’m an existentialist and borderline absurdist and even I struggle with the current moment. This summary is just fantastic.
