Tomorrow I'm joining a @uclopenscience.bsky.social panel, Scaling Up Diamond Open Access Journals along with @theblochian.bsky.social and @abizadeh.bsky.social as part of the UCL Open Science & Scholarship Festival 2025. You can book here: blogs.ucl.ac.uk/open-access/...

Help @bsky.app - the email address associated with my account is no longer active and I can't change to an active email address because that requires me to enter a code that bsky has sent to my old inactive account. What to do?

DEI Under Threat: The Battle for Inclusive Research - The Scholarly Kitchen What happens to research without diversity? This post explores why erasing DEI weakens science, and why research benefits from inclusivity

Science becomes less effective if we deprioritize or excise DEI. "We may have lost the ability to say these words out loud. But that does not mean that our actions for a more diverse, equitable and inclusive research paradigm need to be put on hold". BLOG: scholarlykitchen.sspnet.org/2025/03/03/d...

Some comments from @chrisabanks.bsky.social and me on some institutions walking away from the Elsevier Big Deal. (Paywalled)

It got to SE London
