My daughter swallowed something and needed an endoscopy. The doctor was performing the procedure when he suddenly stopped. “This is impossible. What I’m seeing inside her…” He showed me the screen. I gasped. My wife's hand started shaking. The first thing I noticed was how quiet the waiting room was, like the hospital had decided to hold its breath with us....

Global Biodata Coalition secures €5 million grant of Horizon Europe funding from @EU_Commission, supporting global efforts to build a sustainable future for #OpenAccess biodata resources. See globalbiodata.org/european-commi… #OpenScience #OpenData #HorizonEurope

@ZB_MED has announced a fundraising initiative to support further development of OLSPub, its open search and discovery platform for life sciences literature. OLSPub is designed as an open, community-oriented infrastructure for aggregating and indexing biomedical research metadata. The initiative reflects ongoing efforts in the sector to broaden and strengthen the ecosystem of tools that support literature discovery. The announcement comes at a time when questions about the sustainability and governance of key research infrastructures, including US government–funded resources such as PubMed, are part of broader industry discussions. zbmed.de/en/about/press… #ScholComm #ResearchInfrastructure #Sustainabiliity #Funding

New EU rules adopted today mean better access for qualified researchers to online data gathered by very large online platforms & search engines. This is important for investigations into systemic risks (e.g from illegal content/disinformation, or to children’s mental health).

By unlocking data from social media platforms, online marketplaces, adult sites & web browsers, the new rules give researchers more power to find & analyse risks found in the digital world. This marks a major step in independent scrutiny of how online services impact society.
