Big news: we are setting up a new non-profit organization to run bioRxiv and medRxiv. It's called openRxiv [no it's not a new preprint server; it's dedicated organization to oversee the servers] openrxiv.org 1/n

openrxiv.org

Homepage - openRxiv

openRxiv is an independent non-profit, the new organizational home for bioRxiv and medRxiv, enabling researchers to instantly share groundbreaking findings with the global scientific community.

I wish there was a citation for this stat - this is mind blowing to me - "Already, a mere 10 percent of reviewers are responsible for 50 percent of all reviews." Not only is this not sustainable but has to lead to a very narrow perspective on the research. Wow.

We’re witnessing a Brexit-level instance of completely unnecessary economic destruction. A country that’s not hit by any shock, but simply chooses policy self-harm.

18F, the federal government’s technology shop, was just demolished by Musk’s team. It was a cost-recoverable org, charging agencies for their expertise, using a consulting model. Its cost to government was negligible, its benefits huge. My team there once saved DoD $500 million. A thread about 18F:

18f were a bunch of badasses who actually *did* make government more efficient in a way that actually worked. And they did it while also being good people who cared deeply for the work, for each other, and for the people that used it.

This hit so hard today. These are jobs the private sector just can’t replace, these are people whose intimate knowledge of places and ecosystems, accumulated through years and years of service, just can’t be rebuilt. We’re collectively losing so much when they’re gone.
