The Max Planck Society has begun an exploratory round table for open science. We are drafting some recommendations to leadership. Still a long way to go! But here are my notes on the most recent draft, just so you all know how I am trying to steer things.

Richard McElreath: It must not be overlooked that junior researchers DO NOT TRUST US. We, the directors, are a big part of the problem. We made this system, we remake it every year, and we benefit from it. What can we do to credibly signal our commitment to reform a corrupt research culture? My conversations with junior scientists in the society has taught me that directors are too often either indifferent or hostile to science reform. We cannot hope to convince our prize winning colleagues. Their egos are immune. But we can replace retirements with researchers who care more about integrity than their own prestige. This is important both for earning the trust of the junior researchers who really do the research in the MPG and for attracting excellent future directors and starting to earn the trust of the public. So I suggest two strong signals to our junior researchers (and the public): (1) we will reform recruitment and promotion at all levels to eliminate proxies like citation counts and journal brands in favor of reliability and sustainability; (2) we will make open science skills a core part of scientific training, through the graduate schools at a minimum, as conditions for the central funding. The most ambitious thing we could do, as hinted at in item 5 above, is to meaningfully invest in metascientific research. As the largest basic research organization in the world, the MPG is uniquely suited to studying research and its products from a broad perspective that includes the humanities, the sciences, and policy. Governments are already involved in science reform. Someone should study it in an organized and sustained way.

My latest post on @carpentries.carpentries.org blog is a call to action for the community to engage in curriculum development for workshops about genAI. How can we help our target audience make more informed choices about when and how to use it? carpentries.org/blog/2025/08...

AI Carpentry? Helping learners make better choices with genAI.

In two recent community discussion sessions, we explored what mental model of machine learning/deep learning we could teach to learners already familiar with the basics of programming, to help them sa...

Brilliant! This should be made mandatory not only for every college freshman but for every educator, student, scientist, journalist, politician, decision maker, citizen... Preferably once per week, just in case we forget.

This is a big deal! 2i2c is supporting mybinder.org traffic with a BinderHub that is almost 5x cheaper than previous deployments. I think it is a great sign for mybinder.org's sustainability. 2i2c.org/blog/2025/bi... Here's a brief explainer (1/x)

Reproducible, sharable, open, interactive computing environments.

2i2c has officially become part of the mybinder.org federation, introducing a new, cost-effective, and faster approach. We hope to make it easier for more people to join the federation by contributing a single-node BinderHub at 2i2c.mybinder.org. More in our blog: https://2i2c.org/blog/2025/binde…

🚨BREAKING. From a program officer at the National Science Foundation, a list of keywords that can cause a grant to be pulled. I will be sharing screenshots of these keywords along with a decision tree. Please share widely. This is a crisis for academic freedom & science.

"Pahin kokemukseni rasismista oli silloin, kun olin 11-vuotias. Olin pyöräilemässä keskustassa ja olin juuri aikomassa ylittää suojatietä, kun eteeni käveli nainen. Tämä nainen alkoi huutaa minulle ja haukkua minua n-sanalla. Sen jälkeen hän sylki kasvoilleni." - kahdeksasluokkalainen suomalainen
