🌱 Grow commons. Want to help free #academia from corporate #enshittification?

Note the call for action in the previous post. Delightful #OpenScience is looking for dedicated gardeners (maintainers) who work with such tools themself and thus able to bring the necessary quality and rigour that is required for the #scientific process.

:boosts_appreciated: Boosts are appreciated.

Please open an issue if you can offer help:

How @China is vying to #attract the world’s top #scientific @talent

In central China, the largely rural county of Gulin in Sichuan province is offering PhD holders a lump sum 300,000 yuan (US $42,000) and a monthly allowance of 1,000 yuan to move there. The city of Taizhou in Zhejiang province will pay university graduates up to 100,000 yuan to resettle to the coastal locale.

#Science #Relation (#SR) - #public #relations #services for #science #professionals

Every self-respecting commercial enterprise engages in “public relations” (#PR). However, it is precisely this “public relation” that the #scientific #community lacks in order to raise its profile in the #media and gain #general #recognition. So how about public relations work in the form of “science relations” (SR) for you as a #scientist?

From @adamkeiper.com‬ over on Bluesky: No one has described the full extent of #Trump's attack on the American #scientific enterprise—it's too vast and still evolving. So when you look at this excellent visualization of #funding #cuts, keep in mind that as appalling as they are, the full story is even worse. https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2025/06/04/health/trump-cuts-nih-grants-research.html?unlocked_article_code=1.MU8.jpB3.swYHddXEMRdS&smid=url-share

Science progresses one funeral at a time.

A new scientific truth does not triumph by convincing its opponents and making them see the light, but rather because its opponents eventually die and a new generation grows up that is familiar with it... --Max Planck

🧵 1/n The #socialMedia work of some #public #organisations is often a tragedy. Be it lack of resources or ignorance, one account typically does everything so beautifully wrong that I take it to illustrate my thesis. I don't want to shame in public, therefore, I don't name the account but it's a world renowned #scientific organisation.

A proper #scientific study conducted over a period of 2 years concluded that gender affirming care has consistent benefits over a wide range of physical and mental health issues. The same people who commissioned the study are rejecting it because it doesn't fit their bigoted agenda. SHAME ON YOU, #Utah #GOP! You are #DISGRACEFUL!

I ended up giving two talks related to scholarly/scientific work and large language models within two weeks: The first with a focus on scientific publishing and one on reproducibility. I will write down the most interesting findings in blog posts, and this is the first, on the impact #LLMs have on #scientific #writing, which is quite measurable: https://nilsreiter.de/blog/2025/llms-and-science-part-1.
