Can we make ePoster presentations actually readable at a distance? Conferences are (happily) starting to let you use slides and/or zoom-in. Watch for good/bad examples: youtu.be/YJGEgv_jPqE

I was reconnecting my AirPods to my PC like 10 times a day via settings until I got frustrated enough to search (and find!) this fantastic little app: magicpods.app Posting because I feel genuinely over-benefited paying $2 for this much time savings and want to help the creator out.

Scientific publishing is still organized around bundles built for print. We use music’s shift from albums to streaming to argue why access and unbundling aren’t enough. Shared standards are the missing layer for reusable, trustworthy science. articles.continuousfoundation.org/articles/how...

In a digital world, we are increasingly constrained by boundaries that no longer make sense. In a world of artificial intelligence, what does the bundle prevent us from seeing?

When you submit a paper to a conference/journal how do you find all your coauthors' emails to enter/copy into the form? 1. Make authors organize their info all in one place before submission to make it easier 2. Copy-paste from our last email thread together 3. Other?

Who would like google scholar to give us a sleek "Your Year in Citations" replay like music apps do?

Three “Scholar Replay” 2025 recap cards displayed side by side on a light background. Left card shows “Replay’25” and “Your Top Citations in 2025,” with a circular illustration of two people shaking hands and a footer panel listing “Most cited Paper: The Trust Game Goes to Hollywood” with “+218 citations this year.” Middle card titled “Your Citation Highlights in 2025” lists top citing fields with percentages (Computer Science 41%, Psychology 25%, Public Policy 18%, Economics 9%), then a “New Field Unlocked!” section reading “First cited in Urban Planning,” and a bottom “Biggest Mover” panel for “AI Ethics in the Age of Automation” with “185 citations this year.” Right card titled “Your 2025 Research Badges” shows two badge tiles: “Method Magnet” (high impact in methods research) and “Policy Whisperer” (influential in policy studies).

That’s the exact idea! Plus, one of our projects is creating a digital simulation of a scientific conference, so each meeting is also an experienced progress update on that project 🤣

I've been on the road so I'm behind the times—but if you wanted to destroy US science, I can think of no more expedient action. Blatant unconstitutionality aside, fuck this backwards forwards and sideways. www.science.org/content/article/u-s-congress-considers-sweeping-ban-chinese-collaborations

The Securing American Funding and Expertise from Adversarial Research Exploitation (SAFE) Act would deny federal funding to any U.S. scientist who collaborates with anyone “affiliated with a hostile foreign entity,” a category that includes four countries: China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea. The prohibited activities would include joint research, co-authorship on papers, and advising a foreign graduate student or postdoctoral fellow. The language is retroactive, meaning any interactions during the previous 5 years could make a scientist ineligible for future federal funding.

try again if you have time? Should be up now. You can hit 'skip to survey' to save reading the roles again. (but no pressure if busy! You have already helped by finding the first bug haha)

Same. Even in my own qual studies we’ve just had graphs of themes. I’ve seen some people add imagery or icons? Usually the perk of qual studies is finding some really powerful quotes though. But would love to see some cool other approaches!
