75% of scientists are burned out and pulling back on conferences, peer review, committee membership, etc nature.com/articles/d4158… When scientists set boundaries, it not only improves their own personal well-being, but also creates norms that limits are acceptable and healthy

Feels wrong to submit it without their explicit agreement (and may not even be possible), but also cannot just leave them out. However, waiting is also not really an option....

Soon submitting a long-overdue collaboratively written paper with 20+ co-authors. Just sent the final-final-draft to check/approve, but several co-authors are on ~6-month academic leave, and one on a maternity leave. How do you handle this? #AcademicTwitter #GetYourManuscriptOut

It’s happening!

“Its like a telescope for the brain!@phineasgreg talking about frugal neuroscience, and we’re about to do some experiments! Not sure if the fact the cocktail hour started before the talk is a good or a bad thing. ;-) late night at #OpenSciComm2022

Evaluating gender bias in science and society as a whole by using open data on street and school names in Catalonia, very interesting talk by @SilviaSimonR at #OpenSciComm2022. Expectedly, we must do better! #OpenScience #womeninSTEM

@eugecovernton presenting the fantastic @lecturerswb project during the first session of invited talks at the #OpenSciComm2022! As she could not make to Belgrade in person, I get to answer the questions at the end 😬🙂

“Open science is just science done right”! Love this bit from the talk by @vonschomberg at #OpenSciComm2022 #OpenScience #GoodScience

Opening of the Open Science Communication Conference in Belgrade! Good to be back in my hometown, looking forward to exciting few days #OpenSciComm2022 @CPNSrbija

Recruiting postdocs to work at the intersection of phage therapy and evolutionary biology. Topics include coevolutionary phage training, phage-bacterial interaction networks (PBINs), and predicting PBINs from genome sequences. E-mail jrmeyer@ucsd.edu with CVs or other inquiries.

Happening now, Paris Bettencourt team presenting their fantastic project at the #iGEM2022 competition! They developed genetic parts and hardware that allows bacteria-machine interface, check out there results! @iGEM #synbio @lpiparis_ 2022.igem.wiki/paris-bettenco…

In the coming months, 100s of researchers will spend 10000s on hours doing this exercise. Dismissing this question is unacceptable.

After an important question by @ThomasLamarch13, "How much time do you think a lab will need to spend writing the evaluation file?" we got an anecdotal answer from #HCERES president of research evaluation: it took him "one easter weekend" !!!😯😤🤯

Info meeting about the 5-year evaluation of French research labs by Hcéres (the High Council for Evaluation of Research and Higher Education, what a name!). About 250 research directors, heads of labs, who will spend months filling in forms… not a lot of happy faces.

Main part of #ECSA2022 is over, big thanks to the organizing team for a fantastic conference! Still some events and seminars today and tomorrow, but already looking forward to #ECSA2024 in Vienna!

Didn’t learn how to fish, but got many cool lessons on co-creation in #CitizenScience on the example of fishers on Lake Geneva from @Tania_Jenkins at #ECSA2022. Impressive organisation and logistics, looking forward to further results and outcomes!

Happening now, a talk about #PersonalScience wiki by @k_kloppenborg at #ECSA2022! Under the watchful (camera) eye of @gedankenstuecke. Go @research_lpi :-)

Flipping the roles in a #CitizenScience project - citizens are the ones asking questions, rather than responding to those formulated by scientists. Nice talk by Thomas Lemmerz at #ECSA2022

@FIREPhD research at the #ESCA2022 conference in Berlin! Very interesting #OpenScience project on oceanography, co-constructed with citizens, researchers, makers
