Disappointed to see DBMI & VCLIC accounts, which supported research, events & collaboration, deactivated with no public explanation. I'm told it’s a “security” decision, but lack of transparency makes it hard to understand or support. I’ll keep sharing here-views my own, obviously. 🩺🖥️ #AcademicSky
