Time for a new #introduction...

Hey everyone! I’m Marcia (she/elle), currently living on lək̓ʷəŋən territory (Victoria) after spending recent years in Tiohtià:ke/Montreal and much of my life on the west coast.

I’m a geneticist interested in #science policy (#OpenScience), equitable tech workplaces (#AntiRacistSTEM), and community organizing for #ClimateJustice in solidarity with #Indigenous peoples (mostly with @ResearchForTheFrontLines).

Parfois, je fais des « pouets » en #français.

This is an essential, but depressing, read if you are concerned about trends in scientific publishing and research fraud.

We are fortunate in astrophysics not to have (as far as I know) as big a problem as some of the life sciences, but the perverse incentives operate here also.

There's also a good blog by the first author

Research data and metadata that adhere to the FAIR Principles enhance the ability of machines to Find, Access, Interoperate with and Reuse data making AI more trustorthy, equitable, and fit to purpose. Erik Schultes explores this in his keynote “FAIR and verifiable – The role of FAIR Digital Objects in trusted AI”, sharing insights from ongoing initiatives at Leiden University.

🚨 Exciting new program from the OSC!
This September, we will launch our Train-the-Trainer program through the instructor training track at the Open Science Summer School. Here’s all the information about it 👇

Turning knowledge into action! 💡 Led by Dr. Sarah von Grebmer zu Wolfsthurn and supported by Dr. Sara Lil Middleton, this program aims to guide and equip participants in learning, practicing, and training students and other researchers in Open Science 🔬

🤝 A key strength of the program is our partnership with FORRT, the Framework for Open and Reproducible Research Training (@FORRT). Together, we’re building a community of trainers who don’t just talk about open science but teach it!

It always was a matter of incentives, but the script has been flipped for the worse.

"the scientific enterprise is now witness to widespread, organized defection from the scientific public goods game. Large swaths of players, among them many scientists, reviewers, editors and publishers, are choosing to no longer make genuine contributions to the pot."

Good write up on a recent PNAS paper.

🚨🚨UPDATED DATA🚨🚨

I just added another year of #Erasmus student #mobility flow data to the dataset we published this year. This adds the mobility of over 280 000 students from 2023 to the data, bringing the grand total to over 2.5 million students covered by the data from 2014 until 2023.

💾 The data: doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.16737523

📜 The original article describing the data: doi.org/10.1038/s41597-025-047

A map of student mobility flows going across Europe on the regional NUTS 3 level. Majority of the largest flows go between large cities in France, Spain, Italy, Germany, and the UK. Some outlier major flows go to Stockholm, Istanbul, Dublin and Warsaw. The flows represent absolute numbers of Erasmus+ students and their origins and destinations. The flows have not been weighted by regional enrolled student counts, and thus regions with larger populations are emphasized, and potentially more meaningful patterns are not visible.
