Equity in science is a beautiful lie — and I’m done pretending
Science isn’t really moving towards equity; institutions are just perfecting the appearance of equity. We need to build an alternative system.

Can researchers stop AI making up citations?
OpenAI’s GPT-5 hallucinates less than previous models do, but cutting hallucination completely might prove impossible.

We need to educate people: migrants are not an invasive species. I often regret that we -scientists- don’t invest enough energy in reaching out to one another to discuss and resolve misunderstandings before rushing to publish a critique. academic.oup.com/bioscience/a... @biolinvasions.bsky.social

Cada vez que me cruzo con esta foto, me alegra el dia. Probablemente fue uno de los encuentros faunísticos más interesantes en toda mi carrera, y sin embargo nunca trabaje en ello. En aquel momento, no halle entomólogos dispuestos. Nativa? Introducida? Cryptogenica? ojala lo supiera.

Un desastre sociocultural que nos llevara decadas revertir
Flor Yannelli *typo queen* 👽🌱🪁(she/her/ella)@floryannelli.bsky.social · last yr.The destruction of science in Argentina continues. Milei's government is now announcing that there will be no new scientists incorporated into the system. That includes those whose projects were already approved. It's not easy not to fall into despair.
🎥 A message from Dr. Lisa Drake! As we get closer to the #ICMBXII, hear from Dr. Drake herself. We look forward to welcoming her — and all of you — this October. 👉 Register now to be part of it: marinebioinvasions.info/register ⚠️ Early-bird registration closes on June 1st!
