Interested to hear NIH will be creating an Office of Metascience (actual name to be determined).

Wow, that’s quite the indexing

Couldn’t have done it without Sara Schroter and ability to conduct peer review research from @bmj.com

Between the lines only

They dissolved the committee that made decisions, is basically what it is

A @bmj.com RCT is comparing effects of use of an #OpenScience checklist on provision of study protocols, code, data, more. Too early to assess reproducibility FX!

A research poster and two people

I’m pleased to experience the 10th Peer Review Congress and present with @mlrethlefsen.bsky.social!

Our poster examines the perceptions and experiences of librarian peer reviewers for evidence synthesis methodologies. #prc2025

It is incredibly annoying that this new NIH so-called gold standard science plan uses the exact opposite definition of reproducibility and replicability from the NASEM report. Why, just, why?

So proud; my husband is teaching all of his colleagues how to do comprehensive author searches in multiple databases

And in better news, my library has network cable from 1993 that is still in use

we just lost all 7 of our Network of National Library of Medicine, Region 5 (NNLM) library workers.

the grant that covered their salaries was terminated.

this is heartbreaking and demoralizing.

Improving peer review of systematic reviews and related review types by involving librarians and information specialists as methodological peer reviewers: a randomised controlled trial Objective To evaluate the impact of adding librarians and information specialists (LIS) as methodological peer reviewers to the formal journal peer review process on the quality of search reporting an...

Finally published! Thanks to my many colleagues who contributed. doi.org/10.1136/bmje...

In a new Editorial, JAMA editors, JAMA Network Editors in Chief, and JAMA editorial leadership address the recent executive orders that have impacted the scientific process and reaffirm their commitment to scientific and editorial integrity.

Revealed: NIH research grants still frozen despite lawsuits challenging Trump order The Trump administration is exploiting a loophole to keep a funding freeze in place, leaving researchers in limbo.

Almost all grant-review meetings under Trump 2.0 remain suspended at the US National Institutes of Health (NIH), preventing the world’s largest public funder of biomedical research from spending much of its US$47 billion annual budget.

Just finished reading Doctored, by Charles Piller. Distressing read, but highly recommend. It was good timing for teaching my rigor and reproducibility journal club this semester

I joined Twitter in April 2007, so I kept hoping it would go back to normal. Not so much.
