Important and timely example of how science and technology policy research can inform research funding debates. Congrats to @crsugimoto.bsky.social from the Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter School of Public Policy (@gtresearchnews.bsky.social) and the entire research team.

Good news for #STIENID2025!

Thanks to support from @wellcometrust.bsky.social we now have travel bursaries to help more people get to Bristol this September.

This year’s theme on Reconciliation starts with getting everyone in the room.

Find out more at www.stienid2025.org/travelbursar...

The program looks amazing! Looking forward to an engaging and productive dialogue on S&T policy in Bristol!

Grateful to @jackstilgoe.bsky.social and colleagues for organizing such a wonderful workshop on Remapping AI. It's a pleasure to be in conversation with such fabulous colleagues. @ismaelrafols.bsky.social

Really enjoyed taking part in the panel discussion earlier today on Feminist Metascience at #Metascience2025! In the panel I spoke about epistemic diversity and intellectual humility. We need to be considering voices that are quieter in these discussions- it shouldn’t be a battle to be heard here.

Your note about expansion is clarifying (and resonates with what I know of your work!).

I heard your comment as suggesting that some fields (e.g., political science) were better prepared for this crisis and therefore fields that were not prepared should adopt a new epistemic lens; rather than suggesting that we employ a variety of epistemic lenses that are suited for the moment.

Loving Cassidy Sugimoto's comment about avoiding narrowing at all cost. Many lenses, many topics, many people - that's the way forward. ❤️

@crsugimoto.bsky.social can other sectors save us if US govt decreases science funding? Business/philanthropy have very different priorities w/ little room for "curiosity-driven" research. "Science is global and should serve the #globalpublicgood"

Keynote at Metascience 2025

Excellent opening to day 2 of #metascience2025 from @crsugimoto.bsky.social who offered a critical, and yet hopeful vision for the ongoing role of the interconnected science system, and it's role in nurturing unfettered exploration - and ultimately public good.

Stellar panel to kick off Day 2 of #Metascience2025

A passionate & brilliant opening keynote by @crsugimoto.bsky.social surveying the outlook for US & global science.

Followed by @fidlerfm.bsky.social, John Ioannidis, Lin Zhang & Andy Stirling. Superbly chaired by Chonnettia Jones.

Would you use AI to write a research paper?
Would you use AI in peer review?
Would you disclose it if you had?

We asked 5000 researchers these questions. What do you think of their answers?

‘Don’t let open science degenerate into a data dump’ An endless stream of publications, data and software accessible to all? Professor of Science Studies Thed van Leeuwen calls for a more human-centred approach and an overhaul of the PhD system.

Today, our colleague Thed van Leeuwen gives his inaugural lecture at Leiden University. Ahead of the event, he shares key insights — calling for a more human-centred approach in #OpenScience.

Thankful for a week at Stellenbosch University in South Africa, working with this fabulous group on evidenced-based science diplomacy. Looking forward to the next meeting in Atlanta!

Thank you @crsugimoto.bsky.social !

We are also looking forward to having you back as well as collaborating with you as part of the @stienid2025.bsky.social Scientific Committee.

Bristol baby!!

I can't wait to return to Bristol for @stienid2025.bsky.social! Submit special sessions by February 28 and abstracts by April 4! @gemmaderrick.bsky.social www.stienid2025.org

Who’s quitting academia? Data reveal gender gaps in surprising fields Even in scientific areas in which women are well represented, they are up to 40% more likely than men to leave research within 20 years.

“‘It’s very easy to assume that science is going to change organically towards equality — and what this study shows is that that’s not happening…It is an ‘important reminder for us that we need to stay vigilant in working towards equality in science’” @crsugimoto.bsky.social 🧪
