A year ago, @sajedehra.bsky.social and I reached out to 20 Dutch metascientists and asked: Instead of competing for this upcoming grant, how about we collaborate, determine what we believe is a priority, and combine our expertise? Both grants were funded. We discuss our experience in a new preprint.

We’re excited to announce a new data citation #API endpoint and are seeking your feedback! The new @crossref.bsky.social service makes existing data citation relationships in our #metadata available, thereby surfacing this part of the research nexus. doi.org/10.64000/rzb...

Historical anatomical illustration showing detailed views of the muscular and endoskeletal systems of Limulus (horseshoe crab) and Scorpio (scorpion). The lower left features a dorsal view of the Limulus with muscle bundles in red and internal skeletal parts in beige, labeled with numbers. Surrounding smaller diagrams show various muscle arrangements and skeletal connections in the scorpion, highlighting joint structures and muscle attachments. Labels and reference numbers annotate key anatomical features. The overall style is scientific and precise, reflecting 19th-century biological study.
