@dancarlin.bsky.social fellow CU alumni here (BA 94 English). Would you consider putting together a list of your top 50 (or whatever number) history books? Looking to put together a reading list

Stuck on a tarmac due to shut-down related transit delays? We have you covered. A new issue of The Brief is out! It is not at all Brief, however. It is not our fault. A lot happened this month. www.ce-strategy.com/the-brief/ga...

Yes, yes, Europe has its benefits. Walkable cities. Cultural heritage. Amazing food. Little gun violence. Healthcare. Governments that are not shut down. But the number of website pop-ups asking one to accept cookies renders the continent pretty much unlivable.

The NIH *accelerates* the Nelson Memo while the US government sends vaguely threatening letters to several journals. Meanwhile, China enters phase II of its journals Excellence Action Plan. All in the latest issue of The Brief (@brieferyet.bsky.social) www.ce-strategy.com/the-brief/ze...

New from @brieferyet.bsky.social. In re-writing this 6 times to keep up with the madness, we have focused on just the chaos related to publishing. And there is a lot. CDC retractions and the likely death of the Nelson Memo for starters www.ce-strategy.com/the-brief/ch...

Chaos | Clarke & Esposito

Chaos rules. Nelson Memo dead? Probably. Morressier + Molecular Connections. OA beyond the APC.

This poor mom is dealing with her son who believes that 1990 was nearly 35 years ago. Our education system is in tatters when kids don’t know how to do basic math. 1990 was 11 years ago.

100% agree. For me, writing is how I go about thinking about a topic. Using an AI is more like reading someone else’s thoughts than developing your own.

Will the Nelson Memo survive? MIT Press builds an open science research agenda. eLife loses its JIF. Is the conversation moving to Bluesky?

We are getting questions about what the change in administrations means for the "Nelson Memo" and related federal agency OA policy. While we are monitoring the situation closely (and scenario planning with clients) the short answer is "no one knows"

Media businesses just don't scale. They scale a little in an old-school way (you can combine back office functions and whatnot) but they don't scale like tech businesses. Vice, much like WeWork, pretended to be a tech business. Reality bites. www.cnn.com/2024/02/22/m...

I somehow got on the mailing list of service called "BookRetreats" where you book a yoga retreat or whatever. Every time I get an email from them I think it is a service where you go and read books for a week somewhere and am all like "oooh, I want to do that" and then am deeply disappointed

Any time someone suggests there is a 4th dimensional master plan regarding the former Twitter I'm reminded that fiction does some people a mis-service, because it trains them to believe there's an actual storyline when in fact much of real life is people trying to build wings after they've jumped

One thing they don't tell you about being a business owner is the number of "lead gen" spam offers you will receive daily. How many businesses are going "hmm, if only we had some rando firm that that knows nothing about our business sending us 'leads' that would be a big help"?

I like this site better than the others. X is increasingly noise. Mastadon’s UX seems designed to discourage use. Post’s lack of standard fonts makes it look like you are reading ransom notes. Threads is nice but too celeb oriented and is just Facebook under the hood. I wish more people were here
