Have you ever tried to read a scientific journal article and been told “you don’t have access, pay to download this article?” Did you know that the author of that article gets $0 if you pay? Instead, you can email the author and ask for a free copy! I’d be delighted to help and answer questions!

Thanks for sharing David! I was happy to be apart of this team and share some of the data I have been collecting in more temperate waters that are often under represented.

I'm seeing lots of scientific conference panels get criticism for not featuring diverse speakers on the panel. As a frequent conference organizer, here's some advice on how to avoid getting criticized for not having diverse speakers on your panel: 1) Feature diverse speakers on your panel.

If you ever want to read a paper for free and can't find it otherwise, email the lead author and politely ask for a copy. You will not be bothering the person. You will in fact make their whole entire day. I have had scientists get so excited I asked they sent me everything they ever published.

Anyone who’s recently looked at raw survey data also knows that the auto-fill predictive sentence keyboards are also extremely harmful to response collection to the point where I steer away from open responses as much as possible.

This is the most astonishing graph of what the Trump regime has done to US science. They have destroyed the federal science workforce across the board. The negative impacts on Americans will be felt for generations, and the US might never be the same again. www.nature.com/immersive/d4...

This line graph illustrates the percentage change in agency staff levels from the previous year for nine major U.S. federal scientific and health organizations between the fiscal years 2016 and 2025. The agencies tracked include the CDC, Department of Energy, EPA, FDA, NASA, NIH, NIST, NOAA, and NSF. For the majority of the timeline between 2016 and 2023, the agencies show relatively stable fluctuations, generally staying within a range of +5% to -5% change per year. However, there is a dramatic and uniform plummet starting in the 2024–25 period. Every agency depicted shows a sharp downward trajectory, with staffing losses ranging from approximately -15% to over -25%. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) shows the most significant decline, dropping to roughly -26%, while the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) shows the least severe but still substantial drop at approximately -15%.

The dark side of social science surveys is the comments/messages you get from people who can’t comprehend that your intentions are for science. Last year was told to walk out into traffic by a guy on Facebook when I tried to join a fishing group.
