Good news everyone, _Nature_ has published 66 Open Access articles to date in 2026!
This means Springer-Nature has gobbled up USD$837,540 of science funding this year.
I'm sure we couldn't think of anything better to do with that money.

FWIW, I read this as a really hopeful story about how the movement for Indigenous data sovereignty has gained traction and is influencing #OpenScience for the better.
Indigenous responses to open data initiatives, how these initiatives often "don’t do enough to ensure that communities see the benefits when their data are used"
‘Not a free-for-all’: Indigenous communities want limits on how their data are shared
Push for “data sovereignty” could reshape how scientists share information
