Pointierte Zusammenfassung des DFG-Papiers zur Wissenschaftsfreiheit! Must read!

Andrea Geier / Bademeisterin der Debattenkultur@andreageier.bsky.social · 4w ago

Sehr gut: Die DfG hat 1 Papier zur Wissenschaftsfreiheit veröffentlicht. „Verteidigung der Wissenschaftsfreiheit und das Zurückweisen politischer Übergriffe setzen daher eine Reflexion potenzieller Verwundbarkeiten dieses Systems voraus.“ Danke an alle, die seit Langem dafür werben & es selbst tun!

As predicted in a talk by Cassidy R. Sugimoto at the Metascience 2025 Conference cassyni.com/events/DvsRY..., China has surpassed the U.S. in public investment in science. It is now the world's 'scientific superpower'. news.osu.edu/china-surpas... #metascience #china #antiscience #Trump

"Copilot will begin working on your prompt in a draft pull request, and will request review from you when ready." What a world we are working in today. Is there a word that simultaneously expresses fear and excitement?

Thanks @kauspurg.bsky.social for circulating this position statement on Sociology. It calls for keeping activism out.. this alienates "public sociology". But activism has generated an anti-sociology agenda. So what now? R&S welcomes 1k word responses. journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

Remember that recent paper claiming to show that "ideological bias" determined the results obtained by immigration policy research teams? A careful, open-code reanalysis by @kauspurg.bsky.social & Josef Brüderl finds that the result arises from a coding error. —> doi.org/10.31222/osf...

Wikipedia is needed now more than ever, 25 years on

The online encyclopedia is an antidote to an increasingly poisoned information ecosystem. Researchers should help to nourish it.

If I publish less intentionally, those publishing more will crowd me out, maybe? www.nature.com/articles/d41...

I’m going to halve my publication output. You should consider slow science, too

If we don’t slow down, the research enterprise is going to crash, argues Adrian Barnett.

Thanks @mclem.org for your feedback on our study. I cannot reply to your posts, nor message you directly. Is that intentional, or do I not fully understand how Bluesky works yet? I would like to engage in some scholarly exchange if you are interested.

A new paper by George Borjas—who served this past year in the Trump White House designing some of its anti-immigration policies—claims to display evidence of ideological bias among researchers who study immigration. doi.org/10.1126/scia... 🧵 Thread—>

Those who identify as Republican in the U.S. had declining trust in science since 2010. Recently those who identify as Moderate also show declining trust. Let's push for more rigorous, transparent and ethical scientific practices. #openscience #transparency #reproducibility osf.io/preprints/so...

The Infographic and Video generation tools in #NotebookLM are pretty amazing. Not meant to be self-promotion, but just what came out from a recent paper I uploaded. A helpful tool to just get some fresh ideas, or possibly plan a poster. #GenAI

For personal reasons, I do not support Elsevier (thecostofknowledge.com). It can be difficult to explain / say 'no' to colleagues seeking our support. Therefore, I created a template to respectfully decline: crowdid.hypotheses.org/1990. #openscience #smashthepaywalls

I now add QR codes presentation slides for citations. It occurred to me I can embed a link in the QR code image, so users can access the URL by clicking too (rather than adding another link somewhere else on the slide). Winnie the Pooh would call this #afishinthesea
