We have four large member seats and one small member seat open for election in 2025. We maintain a balanced board of 8 large member seats and 8 small member seats. Size is determined based on the organization’s membership tier (small members fall in the $0-$1,650 tiers and large members in the $3,900 - $50,000 tiers).

Exciting teaser from #UNESCO of the results of their recent consultation on #DiamondOA- in summary there’s much diversity of views and understandings of diamond open access across the globe, but there’s commonality of values among the community. We’ll know more on 3rd of July

At the final DIAMAS conference today - not surprisingly sustainability is a central consideration on everyone's minds as the project comes to the close. #EDCH and the ALMASI project continue the work and offer hope for increasing implementation and reach of #DiamondOA

"For me, the answer now lies in refusal, the withdrawal of participation from systems that require dishonesty as the price of belonging."

Today I am resigning from the National Science Board and the Library of Congress Scholars Council.

I wrote about my decision in TIME.
