The #EuroStack Report is out! It is about building a European alternative, to empower citizens, workers, industries to reclaim control of their digital future. Read the report! www.euro-stack.info @bertelsmannst.bsky.social @ucl-iipp.bsky.social @ceps.eu @stiftungmercator.bsky.social

Como esta semana es la temporada alta de las científicas por el #11F, aprovecho a responder "¿Por qué queréis que haya más mujeres en ciencia?" Porque necesitamos diversidad en las preguntas que se hacen y que nuestra trayectoria vital y saberes estén presentes. En conclusión: queremos MEJOR CIENCIA

Todos los días son #11F #diadelamujerylaniñaenlaciencia ✊💜

Excellent 🧵 on this evening's NIH announcement of a dramatic reduction in indirect rates for research institutions, which amounts to a generational restructuring of the US research and development ecosystem. These cuts are effective immediately, not just for new grants but for existing ones.

Research universities are often the largest employers in their region. They are often the primary health care providers to communities. This funding shift will not only reduce US research leadership, it will put working people out of work and reduce healthcare access.

Sigue la guerra contra las organizaciones internacionales, en este caso el más alto tribunal que persigue, entre otros crímenes, el genocidio. Y esto es sólo el principio. www.eldiario.es/internaciona...

“The University must focus not only on knowledge transmission but also on cultivating the distinctly human capacities that make knowledge meaningful.” Charles R Nesson, @BKCHarvard founder www.thecrimson.com/article/2025...

In 2014, I wrote an essay on the rise of "algorithmic regulation" / "lean start-up" imaginary in government circles. In it, I argued that Silicon Valley's recipe for government efficiency would - at best - yield the "Singaporization" of liberal democracy. But there were much worse options.🧵 below

Chaos erupts in US science as Trump’s team declares freeze on federal grants The freeze’s effect on research is still unclear, but scientists fear ‘incalculable’ damage. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

In short: no

The Internet Archive has to date downloaded 500 terabytes of US government websites, which it crawls at the end of every presidential term. The whole archive is fully searchable. This effort's housed by a donation-funded nonprofit, not a branch of the US government. blog.archive.org/2024/05/08/e...

Today, we are publishing the first-ever International AI Safety Report, backed by 30 countries and the OECD, UN, and EU. It summarises the state of the science on AI capabilities and risks, and how to mitigate those risks. 🧵 Full Report: assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/679a0c... 1/21

“Es sorprendente, pero la humanidad desconocía hasta prácticamente el otro día la forma que tienen los ladrillos básicos de la vida [las proteínas]. […]Sin embargo, falta por entender qué ocurre cuando una mutación trastoca todo” Lean, lean 👇 elpais.com/ciencia/2025...

NIH launches initiative to double check biomedical studies @science.org

“Editorial board of the Journal of Human Evolution (JHE), an Elsevier title, have resigned, saying the “sustained actions of Elsevier are fundamentally incompatible with the ethos of the journal and preclude maintaining the quality and integrity fundamental to JHE’s success.””

“un sector [el académico] descontrolado, que en los últimos años (¿décadas?) ha incentivado la productividad por encima de la innovación como forma de progresar en la carrera científico-investigadora-académica. Que prima la cantidad sobre la calidad.” www.eldiario.es/sociedad/pro...

“El debat sobre la mercantilització de l’educació superior no va d’una qüestió corporativista interessada. […] Es tracta de garantir una alternativa pública i de qualitat per a qui vol continuar formant-se al llarg de la vida.” 🙌 #RectoraUOC @uocuniversitat.bsky.social www.ara.cat/opinio/paran...

Fusió i reducció 😫

Sobre la responsabilidad institucional “El juicio —que ningún medio recogió en España— ha tenido una amplia repercusión internacional sobre el cambio que necesitan dar las instituciones productoras de conocimiento en la protección de su personal.” Gracias por darle eco, @pampa.bsky.social

The whole webinar series “Enhancing digital education in the Mediterranean” organised by @UOCuniversitat and @UfMSecretariat is now openly available youtube.com/playlist?lis...

Can bureaucrats promote and facilitate cutting-edge science and innovation? Yes they can. Inspiring examples from the US National Cancer Institute (such as the HPV vaccine) in this podcast open.spotify.com/episode/2F7V...

Comunicar ciencia y ser atacado por ello 😫 Si eres mujer, aún más probable (57% de científicas vs 46% de científicos) con más % de ataques sobre tu capacidad profesional o aspecto físico 👇 sciencemediacentre.es/mas-de-la-mi...

“El benestar digital no té a veure amb accessos restringits i camps plens de portes.” Molt d’acord amb @liliana-arroyom.bsky.social

Encertat editorial del diari Ara sobre el perill de l'educació superior com a negoci. Celebrem que a Catalunya aquesta situació no sigui greu gràcies a l’aposta per la @uocuniversitat.bsky.social que garanteix la qualitat de l'ensenyament online amb mandat públic www.ara.cat/editorial/pe...
