Denmark’s Ministry for Digitalization is looking to get off Microsoft products by the end of the year, starting with the adoption of LibreOffice. It follows similar moves by Copenhagen and Aarhus.

Come check out a thought-provoking exhibition from InspireLab in the KTH Library Entrance hall! InspireLab is a new center at KTH that puts gender equality at the heart of technology and innovation. www.kth.se/en/om/nyhete...

How many datasets in @pride-ebi.bsky.social do you think are actively & consistently downloaded (e.g. every year) by the community? 📦📥 - 1 in 4? - 1 in 10? - 1 in 100? And what do you think would be a good ratio for a healthy reuse ecosystem? I'm curious to hear what you think. #proteomics #FAIRdata

We're looking for a new PhD candidate to join the lab. Please share 🌱😄

We’re a university library. We believe in knowledge, openness, and slow thinking. So of course our first words here are an invitation: Tomorrow (21 May), we’re hosting a seminar on democracy, academic freedom – and the role of libraries. Join us. This matters. #AcademicFreedom #Library #Democracy

No cheating - your last saved celebriteter pic is your therapist. Känns effektivt, men läskigt.

Read this thoroughly, dont't rush. Read it to the end! scholarlykitchen.sspnet.org/2025/03/25/g...

We polled Nature readers to ask if they were thinking of leaving the US for jobs abroad. Three-quarters of them (who said they were US-based scientists) said yes. 🧪 www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Today I lost an NIH grant training clinicians to do research about intimate partner violence with perinatal women. More women are murdered in the perinatal period than die of obstetric complications. I didn't just lose a grant. We lost an entire cohort of people building careers to prevent that.

French researcher, going to a conference in Houston, was forbidden entry to US; his work and personal electronics were both confiscated. Why? Because a “random search” of his cell phone revealed a negative personal opinion on Trump and the Trump administration. www.lemonde.fr/internationa...

⭐New publication alert!⭐ Out now in Canadian Journal of Communication, our commentary argues for more research at the intersection of #opendata and #datajournalism (🧵) w/ @nataschachtena.bsky.social Monique Oliveira @idorsch.bsky.social @juancommander.scholcommlab.ca @stephenpinfield.bsky.social

NIH is likely cutting up to 25% of its workforce this week. NIH staff have substantial expertise, typically PhDs. And they really *believe* in the work. NIH's will not be able to meet its mission w/these cuts. The scientific threat is not just direct funding cuts www.statnews.com/2025/03/14/n...

We have 3 openings for ambitious postdocs or PhD students in our #CDlab - for exciting single-molecule biophysics research on nuclear pores, peroxisomes, or archaeal divisomes. Check it out and apply: ceesdekkerlab.nl/come-join-us/ RT=nice!

Post your favoriter pokémon, wrong answers only.

Dagens bibliotek appreciation blupp: Puss på bibliotekarierna på SU som fixade inköp av e-bok på mindre än en timme. Jag skriver det här på bluppen för jag litar på att det därmed når alla bibliotekarier i Sverige.

This is actually really easy to do in R.

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 🧪

Bluesky rocks.

Trainees who applied for an NIH diversity fellowship whose applications were withdrawn/not being reviewed, there's a NYTimes reporter who wants to talk, especially interested in applicants with disabilities. DM me & I'll put you in touch, will keep all contact confidential. Please amplify

Lista över ord som nu "flaggas" för att stoppa forskning i USA (National Science Foundation). Rena rama 1984.

On May 10, 1933, Nazis burned the library of The Institute for Sexual Science. The Institute was founded by Dr. Magnus Hirschfeld. Its community clinic pioneered healthcare for queer, trans, & intersex people. The Institute was targeted & attacked as part of a Nazi government censorship program.

"Vi sitter faktiskt nu bokstavligen och tittar på barnen, väntar tills det går fel och då tänker vi att tio års fängelse är nog bra" www.sverigesradio.se/artikel/frys...

Samtidigt i USA: Forskare och journalister hjälps åt att ladda ner offentlig data som riskerar att raderas.

Det var inte bara utlysningen om forskningsfinansiering till utvecklingsforskning som drogs in häromåret. ”Lågt räknat har vi lagt en månads arbetstid per ansökan, alltså 55 månader. Det är dryga fyra års arbetstid ” www.dagenssamhalle.se/opinion/deba...

Regeringens forskningsproposition hade kunnat ta tag i akademins verkliga problem: Otrygghet, osäkerhet och ofrihet. I stället fick vi ett dokument där akademin framställs som företaget Sveriges forsknings- och utvecklingsavdelning, skriver @davidbrax.bsky.social.

All NIH study sections canceled indefinitely. This will halt science and devastate research budgets in universities.

Not a single fact-based argument in this @FT editorial advocating for #deregulation, but without showing why in total EU rules would be bad for productivity. Scientific studies show the opposite. www.ft.com/content/90a4...
