@wyden.senate.gov Hello, Senator! I met with your legislative staffer Dr. Matthew Trone today on behalf of the
@endocrinenews.bsky.social
and he was WONDERFUL. Thank you for employing scientists for #scicomm and #scipolicy, it shows how dedicated you are to supporting science in OR and beyond! ❤️

Our paper on ocean warming & fish biomass made headlines—but now it needs to make an impact. 🌊🐟

Science matters more if it leads to action. I’m looking to connect with fisheries managers & policymakers. Who can help bridge this gap? Please share or connect us!

Overheard at #SfN25: “It’s up to us to reflect the truth.”

“This is not a sprint, this is not a marathon, this is a relay.” (Advocate for science, and when you get tired, let someone else do it for a while, then get involved again…

Research leaders’ deficit fixes are a 1980s tribute act - Research Professional News Government’s priorities cast old debates about concentrating resources in a new light, says Kieron Flanagan

Are UK universities doing too much research? If so, what should we do about it? Debates about how to address the financial sustainability of university research have a familiar ring to them, as I write in @resprofnews.bsky.social

Research security in Europe needs a more coordinated approach - Research Professional News Survey of national efforts reveals uneven but developing picture, say Andrew James and Kieron Flanagan

Security fears are creating new pressures and expectations on national research systems across Europe. My @mioir.bsky.social colleague Andrew James and I have written a piece for @resprofnews.bsky.social summarising some key findings from our new report on the topic.

New report! #scipolicy in Europe has long considered internationalisation as a driver of excellence and soft power. Geopolitical tensions are changing this calculation.
