The strain on scientific publishing: we set out to characterise the remarkable growth of the scientific literature in the last few years, in spite of declining growth in total scientists. What is going on?

I wrote a piece about a certain flavor of academic abuse. I have carried parts of this story for upwards of 25 yrs, & I’m grateful to @chronicle.com for helping me to tell it.

Universities across Europe have begun actively recruiting U.S. researchers,"offering themselves as a haven for those keen to escape the Trump administration’s crackdown on research and academia." #PhDSky #SciSky #PhDChat
European universities offer ‘scientific asylum’ to US researchers fleeing Trump’s cuts
Academics from US hoping to escape funding freezes and ideological impositions are being actively recruited

Photo from a demonstration: Boy holding a placard: What do we want? "EVIDENCE BASED SCIENCE" When do we want it "AFTER PEER REVIEW" a popular chant and slogan from the March for Science, expressing strong support for rigorous scientific validation (peer review) before accepting research as reliable, highlighting the importance of quality control in science communication and policy, especially in political contexts where science is debated. It emphasizes that good science needs time to be vetted, critiqued, and confirmed by other experts to ensure accuracy and validity. https://www.springerprofessional.de/en/what-do-we-want-evidence-based-science-when-do-we-want-it-after-/51426830

Just practiced my dissertation defense presentation for the 15th (or so) time and I think it's finally ready to go! Can't believe the time is almost here. I mean, I can because I've been waiting months but it's also kind of surreal. #whew #phdchat #academicsky #phdsky

Indexicality lesson for students and others who submit attachments. You need to label your file with your OWN NAME, not "Chapter 6" or "Paris conference presentation". The Paris conference will receive 400 files, 395 of which will have identical/similar names. Recipe for chaos. #academicsky #PhDchat

Except, sadly, it is believable. Today I offer you a spinach-based insight from the research / writing / academia meme stash. #highered #academicchatter #academicsky #PhDchat #resdev #resdevmemes
Overall text reads: "Unbelievable". Below that, two images of a frying pan. The first image is full of spinach and has accompanying text: "amount of reading I did". The second image (presumably after the process of wilting) shows only one small, shrunken piece of spinach with accompanying text: "citations I got out of it."

This banger from the academia / writing / research meme stash definitely has wider applicability but I do really like using it for coaching, mentoring, and workshop activities when we talk about the importance of saying 'no' to things as researchers. #academicchatter #academicsky #PhDchat

To help people understand the importance of NIH, share what you’ve used their funding for (in easily understandable terms).

I’ll start: my NIH postdoc funding helped me develop and test AI tools that could identify skin cancer across diverse skin tones.

This lady is a Doctor!! I'm so so happy to say that I have passed my PhD defence this afternoon! My dissertation will be available through the MUNL library later this fall or my website if you are interested! Thank you everyone for your support! 🥰❤️ #phdchat #archaeology
I'm grinning at the camera with a glass of champagne in hand! I've got red hair with bangs and a wavy cropped bob, and I'm wearing a zigzag black and white top. A hand is holding a glass of champagne up towards a laptop. The screen says 'PhD defense - Aug 14th, Sig Finis: 17th-Century Burial Places and Spaces in Northeast North America.

Today, I convocated & received my PhD! It was so special to have my husband, parents, & bff there for the ceremony, I've just had the best day! 🥰 #gradschool #phdchat #PhDone 🏺
I'm standing in front of a tree, wearing a red and claret graduation robe with a black hat and gold tassel. I'm holding a burgundy tube and a felted yellow and green flower, and grinning to the left of the camera! I'm standing in front of a tree with the same graduation outfit as photo one, except you can see my blue pants and green heels. My husband is standing to my left looking at me, wearing a green blazer and blue floral shirt, with grey dress pants. He is very cute and has 50s style slicked over hair.
