Ian Fleming's original James Bond novels haven't aged well. For example, Moonraker - published almost exactly 70 years ago in April 1955 - features a villain who's a super-rich industrialist and rocket-maker seeking to cause chaos because he's a secret Nazi. Such a silly idea!

Hey @ugentopenscience.bsky.social you have been added to the meta-research and open science starting pack 2.

Excellent statement from @plosbiology.org here. Leadership is staggering lacking in the OS space so this is particularly good to see. I hope others will follow.

Nominations are open for this year's Maddox Prize! Awarded by @Nature.com and @senseaboutsci.bsky.social for those who stood up for science, especially if they faced push-back and harassment. More information here: www.nature.com/immersive/ma...

So. It has officially happened. I have been officially let go from my position at CDC. I wasn’t a probationary employee. I had stellar performance reviews every year. I’ll be ok. But please understand that many worked HARD to get into these positions and were doing great public health work.

🔬 MedSky 🔬 “The Trump administration’s planned cuts to the National Institutes of Health ( #NIH ) not only threaten essential biomedical research in the US, but the livelihoods of researchers – and some are seriously considering leaving the country.” #US #BiomedicalResearch

DOGE recommended firing workers at: -FDA, which oversees Neuralink -FAA, which oversees SpaceX -USAID, which probed Starlink -CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X. "Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

We are here : "We will consider anonymity when a clinical scenario is particularly important to share and learn from, or to protect an author’s safety—for example, if they are a whistleblower." Responding to fear and magical thinking in the US, a nice editorial in the @bmj.com.

Some news of SHARE-CTD. Good news.

In 2025, we continue to advocate for policy based on scientific evidence. This 2020 Editorial, “We need leaders that believe in scientific evidence”, resonates today as loudly as ever: plos.io/34lyl59. PLOS Biology also continues to push for DEI and a diverse scientific community: plos.io/3rzxczU 🧪

This, 💯! I'm very proud to work for a journal and organisation that stand by these principles.

On psychedelics: 'there is so much enthusiasm, but when you look at the facts, there’s another story'

"Pseudoscience is present when you use the superficial techniques of science, like meta-analysis or randomized trials, *in the service of supporting your own beliefs, rather than seeking to refute those beliefs.*"

1/5: Exciting news- we are approaching the halfway point, or 18-month milestone, of the iRISE project! Here's a snapshot of our progress & key outputs to date:

Which universities have the most retracted articles - and the highest retraction rates? For @nature.com, here's a first-of-its-kind analysis of retractions by institutions. Full details in the story. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Interesting read shared by @eturnermd1.bsky.social.

Once again I am forced to send a reminder.

Hello @tier2-project.eu you have been added to the Meta-research and Open Science starter pack 2.

👋, the RestoRes team is delighted to host the Embrace project on its website. While RestoRes focuses on describing challenges regarding research integrity in biomedical research, Embrace develops tools to enhance data sharing—an essential practice for trustworthy research. restores.univ-rennes.fr

Ever wondered about the pro and cons of using preprints? So making your work public before peer review finished? See here for more on #JACC position on the matter

This is the main outcome of the MADRS scale. The values from the ketamine group pass the GRIM test, but nearly all of the control group don't pass the test. I wonder if the control-group is just fake,

😍 Good to see that an editor is interested in our research on vibration of effects. Oh, no 🤦 it is in a journal that is out of scope... Oh, no again, 😱 it is MDPI. VIBRATION a journal of physics 📳. Common MDPI, do better if you don't want to be called a predatory publisher...

2nd Royal Society fellow resigns over Musk’s membership, citing the Council’s “inability to take proportionate action on Musk’s promotion of disinformation and attacks on evidence-based policies and science advice”. FRS Andrew Millar, prof of engineering bio at Uni of Edinburgh, confirmed to me.

Latest blogpost on Musk/Royal Society debacle: deevybee.blogspot.com/2025/02/seve... I look at the reasons that have been given for inaction, and find them wanting. @royalsociety.org
