The Great Realignment Trump is giving the Russian dictator every incentive to keep killing Ukrainians.

"Vladimir Putin is not looking for a cease-fire, and he does not want to negotiate. Why? Because he believes that he can win. Thanks to the actions of the U.S. government, he still thinks that he can conquer all of Ukraine"

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.

This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.

It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

Important reminder that migrant detention facilities are not meant to be prisons. None of the people put in them have been charged, tried, or convicted of a crime.

On top of that, being undocumented in the US is a civil offense that would never merit prison.

So why the cages?

Trump's guide to outrunning alligator gets fact-check — he wouldn't make it far Associated Press White House reporter Chris Megerian was quick to fact-check President Donald Trump after he issued instructions Tuesday on how to escape alligators. Trump was speaking before heading ...

Trump laughed at prospect of alligators eating immigrants, and advised any being chased to zig-zag, which experts say is the wrong advice...

Immigrants will be held in tents, in the middle of a swamp. The cruelty and health danger are features, not bugs.

[1/3] Publisherspeak returns to DC this fall! The unconference-style event is back to bring together publishing professionals for collaborative conversations about the hot topics in scholarly publishing. As we gear up for this year's edition, we want to hear from YOU!

Thrilled to be joining the @scientifyresearch.org team in this exciting new role!

quote on a dark blue and purple background from Sudip S. Parikh, CEO of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), criticizing proposed cuts to science funding in the FY26 U.S. federal budget. The quote reads: “If enacted, the FY26 budget request would end America’s global scientific leadership. The cuts to science would imperil our nation’s future health, security and prosperity. This budget proposal stands in stark contrast to the President’s call for a renewed commitment to American scientific leadership. Congress has demonstrated a bipartisan commitment to investment in research and must do so again to answer the President’s call.” The quote is attributed to Sudip S. Parikh, CEO of AAAS and Executive Publisher of the Science family of journals. The AAAS logo appears at the bottom right.

I don't think anyone outside of universities, pharma and biotech, independent research institutions have any idea of what is happening right now. If you haven't sounded the alarm among your friends, family and colleagues, now is the time to do it.

slides from my talk about the future of scholarly publishing I gave a talk at the publisherspeak event yesterday here in London. I wrote a somewhat tongue in cheek post at the beginning of the year about what might be true about scholarly publishing (https://world.hey.com/ian.mulvany/what-things-might-be-true-about-scholarly-publishing-11d227f3), and I've been wanting to put a more constructive ...

I gave a talk yesterday at Publisherspeak in london, some notes about that talk, and links to the slides - https://world.hey.com/ian.mulvany/slides-from-my-talk-about-the-future-of-scholarly-publishing-c4f8c297

Research at risk: Life-saving heart pumps for babies | Cornell Chronicle After receiving a stop-work order from the federal government, the future of a device to help children with heart defects is uncertain.

One of grants frozen at Cornell: $6.7M (4 yrs) to develop heart pumps for babies born w/ heart defects.

It took decades of work to get to point of prepping device for in-human clinical trials. No private company could do this.

The cruelty of the Trump administration is heartbreaking. So to speak.

‘This Is Not How We Do Science, Ever’ The Trump administration is manipulating government-sponsored research to get the answers it wants.

Thanks Catherine!

Jason hard at work in De Boer Consultancy HQ!

My better half Jemma has just reminded me that De Boer Consultancy is two years old today! Thanks to everyone for their support and collaboration, particularly the great team at Kriyadocs plus fabulous industry colleagues including @loupeck.bsky.social and all at @internationalbunch.bsky.social

Despicable and entirely predictable. Victim blaming of the lowest order. Like telling someone who has been viciously beaten and mugged to “stay down”, let the perpetrator walk away with what they have stolen, and be grateful for the outcome. Bastards.
