"One could even argue that failing to publicly credit the work of sleuths, with their permission, is a form of plagiarism", says @ivanoransky & David B Allison @timeshighered timeshighereducation.com/opinion/data-s…

Why is research in worms and flies important? We still don't know what many genes "do". When similar genes exists in us & them, it's vastly more cost effective to figure it out in them. Eliminating worm and fly research would slow down research and make costs skyrocket.
"Let’s face it, you’re a bit odd to be working in this profession... Maybe it’s time to think about why you’re doing it in the first place. And maybe it’s time for the sector to reflect on whether it is asking too much of you." @timeshighered timeshighereducation.com/opinion/are-un…
"It's often taken for granted that authenticity is desirable but...There are difficult trade-offs to be made [with] other aspirations, including assessment security, inclusion & even preparing students for life after graduation" timeshighereducation.com/opinion/auth...
How Australian universities respond to the three forces of geopolitical upheaval – fragmentation, protectionism and technology-driven divisions on values will determine their relevance and success. My op-ed & presentation @AIEC #aiec today. Full paper: philippivanov.au/writing/is-tea…

This year's Nobel season was a 'good advertisement for the UK and maybe less so for UK academia' as brain drain concerns resurface timeshighereducation.com/news/tough-que…
Further to my discussion in @timeshighered, more reasons why R&I instruments within a 'Competitiveness Fund' is problematic: ➡️R&I funds could be misallocated for other ends ➡️researchers need longer timeframes ➡️we'd destroy our capacity or global collaboration…
Opinion: All science papers must state how confident we should be in them In this age of widespread mis/disinformation, non-scientists need help to better grasp which claims bear rigorous scrutiny, says Gary Atkinson bit.ly/3YrhE4p
As recent pay awards constrain richer universities’ ability to reward their staff as they see fit while pushing others into further strife, can collective bargaining survive in the UK? Long read from @TWilliamsTHE timeshighereducation.com/depth/can-coll…
Beautifully written by someone who really believes in universities.
"What I found in Sheffield was “glad distinction”, and I see it in universities right across the world... Societies that value this will thrive. Those that don’t will impoverish themselves economically, intellectually and in their very spirit." timeshighereducation.com/blog/times-are…

I was delighted that @PaulJump invited me to contribute to this piece about academic networking. I’m a big believer in senior faculty stepping up to make things happen for their junior peers. If you’d like to join in and build more win-wins, don’t hesitate to reach out!
Networking: a cynic’s game? Junior scholars are urged to do all they can to build bridges with the people who can give them jobs and promotions. But how calculating should they be about who to approach? How should they do it? Six established academics explain their perspectives…
"Finally, institutions should admit their failures and recommit themselves to serving the public good for which they were created – rather than protecting their own and being obsessed with their public images." @PurdueScience @PurdueBiolSci @LifeAtPurdue
