“It’s mine, my own, my precious!” Turns out Gollum isn’t just a character from Tolkien :notsimple: — he lives in academia too. A global study finds that 44% of ecologists & conservation scientists have faced territorial behaviour: data hoarding, blocked access, stolen ideas.

It’s called the Gollum Effect — and it’s pushing early-career & marginalized researchers out of science.

My new article in 📘 Journal of Contemporary Central and Eastern Europe reviews academic uses of ruscism – not just rhetoric, but a way for Ukrainian scholars to name & understand Russia’s ideology of aggression.

:doi: doi.org/10.1080/25739638.2025.

This is about the intellectual front – the struggle to build Ukraine’s own epistemology of war, one that captures not only the effects but the origins of evil.

🚀 The #INNBI project keeps gaining momentum — our third meeting just wrapped up with energy and shared purpose!

Partners from 🇺🇦 🇦🇲 🇬🇪 🇲🇩 🇩🇪 are working together to move open science, high-quality metadata, and responsible bibliometrics forward — grounded in national contexts, but globally connected.

Together, we’re building a future where research infrastructures are open, interoperable, and inclusive.

Academics aren’t just choosing between home and office - they’re navigating spatial trade-offs shaped by discipline, task, and infrastructure. A massive study (7,800+ 🇮🇹 researchers) finds that access to labs pulls natural scientists to campus, while writers and analysts thrive at home - if conditions allow.

A must-read for universities rethinking space in a post-pandemic, war world:

:doi: doi.org/10.1016/j.respol.2025.

It’s not about laziness vs discipline. It’s about spatial fit.

🕵️ This is how soft-power propaganda operates: through "objective" scientometric data, strategically framed to normalize the aggressor and obscure the voices of the oppressed. It is subtle — but no less dangerous. Shame on #ISSI2025 for platforming this.

🇺🇦 And most revealing: no word about Ukrainian researchers.

Not even in passing. As if we do not exist.

The erasure is not neutral — it is structural!

⚛️ #CERN’s suspension of Russian scientists is described as a technical policy shift, not an ethical stance against a belligerent regime. This framing conveniently omits the fact that such sanctions were implemented in response to Russia’s illegal invasion.

🤥 Russia is portrayed as a passive victim of geopolitical turmoil. No mention of how Russian state policy and the complicity of many academic (!!!) institutions in supporting the war directly caused the isolation and sanctions. There is no accountability in the narrative.

📉 Focuses solely on the “brain drain” from Russia — with zero mention of the destruction of Ukrainian academia: shelled campuses, murdered scholars, displaced institutions. This creates an artificial picture where Russia appears as the primary academic victim.

❗The paper repeatedly uses the euphemism “Russia-Ukraine conflict” — a narrative tool used to avoid stating the truth: Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine. Avoiding the word "war" or "aggression" whitewashes responsibility.

A russian scientometrician fled to #Germany @DZHW 🇩🇪 - but from there, he continues to promote narratives aligned with putin’s propaganda.

His paper was accepted at #ISSI2025, and I’m deeply disappointed the conference organizers didn’t recognize the red flags. ⛔ Here's why. 👇

What happens when Ukrainian researchers receive APC waivers during wartime? In my new preprint, I show a 50%+ surge in 🇺🇦 Gold OA publications (2019–2024), especially in journals by Springer Nature & Elsevier.

Even limited support leads to a visible shift.

3D printing of living cells is no longer surprising. 🧬 But what about printing inside the body — no cuts, no stitches, just focused ultrasound?

A new study in #Science introduces #DISP (Deep-tissue In vivo Sound Printing), a breakthrough technique that enables in-body #3Dprinting of hydrogels loaded with drugs, cells, or nanoparticles.

:doi: doi.org/10.1126/science.adt029

In the future, a surgeon may not need a scalpel — #AI will pinpoint the spot, and ultrasound will print the cure.

#Bioprinting

Imaging-guided deep tissue in vivo sound printing (DISP). 

Schematic of the DISP platform. The DISP system utilizes a US-ink composed of non–cross-linked prepolymer,
cross-linking agent–loaded LTSLs, and GVs. The US-ink is injected into the body to noninvasively fabricate a precise functional biostructure in vivo. Integrated GV-based ultrasound
imaging is employed to monitor the target organ, detect the presence of the prepolymer, and ensure accurate targeting and successful US-gel formation.

How do countries assess research? With spreadsheets, committees, metrics - and increasingly, soul-searching. A new @RoRInstitute study compares 13 national systems and maps a quiet shift: from 'publish or perish' to 'be useful, be fair':

I miss teaching. I miss having space to grow. But for now, all I can do is keep going - stay sober, stay focused, do what I can to bring us closer to victory, keep learning the language… And maybe, just maybe, I’ll be needed somewhere else one day. #diary

🎙️ Together with @yanasuchikova we presented our talk "From Data Loss to Data Responsibility" at the IAP–ISC webinar on safeguarding scientific data in times of crisis.

📄 Slides: dx.doi.org/10.13140/RG.2.2.281

We spoke about rebuilding a university's data infrastructure after occupation — and why FAIR is not enough without CARE.

👉 dx.doi.org/10.13140/RG.2.2.158

How can we ensure that research data doesn't put people at risk during war? This talk explores the CARE Principles as an ethical framework for protecting vulnerable communities – especially in Ukraine.

A new study in Conservation Biology: conservation science published in non-English languages is almost invisible in the English-speaking academic world. Most non-English papers had zero English-language citations, while English papers had a median of 37.

:doi: doi.org/10.1111/cobi.70051

Even a randomized controlled trial on saving the South China tiger got just 3 citations — simply because it was written in Chinese. This means high-quality, vital research often goes unnoticed.
