How very brave of you and what an inspiring leadership lesson to uphold your and your community's values. It is truly heartbreaking that you have to be facing such choices. Thanks so much for sharing and thanks for your leadership - that brings a lot of hope ❤️🙏

Nonprofit Refuses $1.5M Science Grant Due To New Federal DEI Rules A coding nonprofit turned down a $1.5M NSF grant after new DEI restrictions, highlighting the clash between federal policy and scientific community values.

Congratulations @ludowaltman.bsky.social and colleagues at @cwts.nl and Dialogic 🎉 We look forward to working together 😊

I'm very pleased to announce that @cwts.nl and Dialogic will develop an Open Science monitoring framework and prototype dashboard for the Netherlands in the coming 2 years.

@opensciencenl.bsky.social has selected the consortium through a European tender (outlined OSNL 2024–2025 work programme).

Thanks for writing this. Open data helps me see if I should trust or care about a particular study. If full data are crap and the paper shows amazing things, if not enough data was collected. Without data papers are nothing but illustrated essays. I see great value in having access to it.

Lots of interesting observations & ideas in this piece. “If we can stop rewarding people for output and instead reward people for good process, as judged by their own arguments that process fulfills the sound scientific principles, then we can maybe evolve towards a better state.”

What a beautifully refreshing message and reminder for the current times

“the kindest person in the room is often the smartest.” JB Pritzker is a mensch.

And a conclusion by Curtis Sharma @4turesearchdata.bsky.social "Yes, more reflection slows down the scientific process, but is that really a bad thing? We need to rethink what we mean by scientific progress."

"Across the AI movement we see the same belief — more measurements mean more data, which lets us do things more efficiently and effectively (…) But if your goal is to understand, explain, and interpret a phenomenon in relation to scientific theory, it’s not acceptable." @informusiccs.bsky.social

Great article published by @jeroenscharroo.bsky.social @opensciencenl.bsky.social reflecting on the value of #openscience principles in #AI research: www.openscience.nl/en/news/open...

ZonMw and the Dutch Research Council have published their action plan for reforming research assessment, in line with CoARA principles.

The plan includes actions around reviewing and refining the evidence-based CV and exploring #openscience practices in grant evaluations.
