The biggest threat to U.S. leadership in #AI isn't speed - it's security.
As Juergen Wastl writes for Nextgov, America’s blind spot in the AI race is #ResearchSecurity.
Weak safeguards risk exposing IP, sensitive data & strategic capabilities.

Finally, our research musings meet @altmetric.com - @helenedraux.bsky.social highlights how real breakthroughs rest on decades of work and why we need metrics that reflect that full lineage, not just one article. based on an interesting example: researchmusings.substack.com/p/the-long-r...

The numbers are in. @bsky.app research sharing volumes vs X Formerly Twitter
In March 2024, on most days, Bluesky hosts more posts linked to research published in 2025 than X.
By quite a lot.

"...referring to the coastal waters of the US and Mexico, you could call it Gulf Coast for the US portion, and Atlantic coast of Mexico. Or you could talk about the specific states of the US and of Mexico that you'll be off the coast of."
Proves my point researchmusings.substack.com/p/the-gulf-o...
quote:" if your work sites are at the seafloor in the deepest part of the Gulf of Mexico, you could say that your locations are in the Sigsbee Deep. If you are by the Yucatán peninsula, Cuba, and Florida, you might use Yucatán channel, Campeche Bank, and the south Florida continental shelf. (2/3)

This post began on a train when I heard someone point out Google Maps' different labels for the "Gulf of Mexico/America." It got me thinking about frequent name changes, evolving metadata standards, impact on scientometric research, and accessibility researchmusings.substack.com/p/the-gulf-o...

📣 NEW on the Research Musings Substack: What impact does "Gulf of America" have on research?
@jwastl.bsky.social writes that when it comes to metadata, we need to bridge the gap (...or gulf?) between different names of geographical areas.
