Good but uneventful hearing today of new EU Commissioner for #research, education, #innovation and culture.
We will have a year with a competent manager of the world's largest research programme, which is what we need.
For the big political ideas, we have to wait for the next Commission

"This Element examines the role played by OS principles & practices within contemporary research & how this relates to the epistemology of science. [...] it highlights how the interpretation of openness as the sharing of resources, [...] may have the unwanted effect of constraining epistemic diversity & worsening epistemic injustice [...]

We are seeing increasingly restrictive policies on global #research cooperation.
In the #EU, the discussion is broadening from preventing spread of dual use technologies to the much wider idea of protecting critical technologies for 'economic security'

β’ NIH #postdoc, #postbac, and #gradstudent researchers are unionizing, partially to get a raise
β’ However, #Congress controls the #NIH budget (and doesn't like NIH very much)
β’ Twist: NIH already gave IRTA fellows a raise, but won't say where the $ is from
So where's the money coming from? External grant funds?

@Knowing Neurons:
In our most recent article, Liza Chartampila explains how Schizophrenia triples the risk of death during extreme heat events. These events are expected to increase in frequency and intensity due to climate change, highlighting the need for better public health policies and practices.

Scientific journals have a responsibility on raising awareness on #ClimateCrisis despite all the problems they face notes Juliet Dobson at @EASE
conference #EASEEvents #Sciencepolicy #scholarlypublishing #BMJ
#bmj #scholarlyPublishing #sciencepolicy #easeevents #ClimateCrisis
The #ClimateCrisis has been covered by The BMJ since the 1990s due to its inextricable link to health, says Juliet Dobson. Co-founded the UK Health Alliance.
Policy initiatives help influence society, through editorials, article collections, and themed issues for events, e.g., COP26.
Climate coverage attracts criticism from deniers on social media.
