💥💥¡VAMOOOS!✊👏 ¡Queda suspendida temporalmente la demolición de Cabestreros 1 y 3, en Lavapiés! Muchísimas gracias a todos los que lo han hecho posible. Ojalá sea definitiva. En manos de la Comunidad de Madrid queda ahora. Seguiremos peleando por ello.

Estos días hemos sabido que el edificio de Lavapiés donde estaba el mítico Baobab será demolido y sustituido por un "hostel cápsula". Pérdida cultural y turistificación. Pero hay algo más... Resulta que el edificio es uno de los pocos originales del siglo XVII. Hay que pararlo. Hilo🧵

Both funny and scary idea in this paper that authors might insert hidden text into their papers instructing LLM peer reviewers to say how great the paper is and recommend acceptance. arxiv.org/html/2412.01...

🎯 Does early success in science funding shape the rest of your career? New RoRI study says yes. The ‘Matthew effect’ — early winners keep winning — holds across funders & countries. 📄 Read more: researchonresearch.org/largest-stud...

I’m working on a piece about funding basic science and if you’ve never explored spinoff.nasa.gov, I would really encourage you to do so. Even though I’ve been doing this for 20 years, it really is humbling and informative to see the ways in which space science works its way into our daily lives.

This is such an interesting piece on the big resistance on basic research funding and how difficult is to move policymakers from the rationale of competitive funding despite its ineffectiveness 👇👇

Creo que la fuerte dependencia geográfica y política del cambio climático y la descarbonización nos empujan a recorrer vías ibéricas al ecosocialismo para construir un futuro habitable. He escrito una cosita no muy larga sobre ello: politicasdeladescarbonizacion.substack.com/p/las-vias-i...

New blogpost. Long, but punctuated by a bunch of silly pictures! Partially a rebuke of scientific societies, partially an advertisement for the WikiJournal of Science. alexholcombe.wordpress.com/2025/01/31/s...

Great guide and movement from NWO to materialise non-profit journals, hope the rest of the 'northern' countries jump in with this type of initiatives

At a time where Diamond #openaccess is gaining traction in Europe and the Netherlands, and where the Dutch Research Council (NWO) issued a call to support flips of journals, this guide, written by my wonderful library colleagues, comes at the right time: zenodo.org/records/1465...
