What’s it like to explore the ocean for science? 🌊🔬
Yesterday, 1st and 2nd graders at CEIP Campo Charro (Salamanca) found out, thanks to our Biogeosciences and Climate Change PI Blanca Ausín @passage-erc.bsky.social

Owning mistakes is part of doing science. More researchers are speaking openly about retractions, helping shift the culture from blame to transparency.

Retractions correct the scientific record, but they have stigma attached to them. Some in the research community want that to change.

Old science comms:
- Over-explaining
- Leading with credentials
- Prioritising accuracy over clarity

New science comms:
- Conversational tone
- Leading with relevance
- Clarity and credibility

Don’t lose the message chasing perfection.

🔥 Hot take: Confirmation bias is a silent killer of great science.

😎 Cooler take: Teaching early-career researchers how to recognize it should be baseline.

What's one strategy you use to check your bias when interpreting results?

Ways to shift this dynamic in ocean work:

— Public, well-curated data repositories
— Co-authorship norms that honor contributions across orgs
— Funders that reward collaboration, not competition
— Mentorship models built on abundance, not scarcity

This might shock no one in ocean conservation, but it turns out science has a possessiveness problem.
The “Gollum Effect”—territorial hoarding of data, ideas, even field sites—is real.
And it’s driving people out of science.
Let’s talk. 🧵

Science’s ‘Gollum effect’: PhDs bear brunt of territorial behaviour
Survey respondents at all career stages report colleagues engaging in territorial and possessive behaviours — but early-career researchers are most often affected.
