Trust is a loaded term and means different things to different people, trust in science is different than trust in scientists. #SSP2025 Trust in scientists is way high (about 68%) but science not as much, so we need to find ways to ask and search for the right questions.

Metadata maven David Haber of ASM describes making the MS submission process simpler for the author using ChronosHub: they reduced the number of questions they asked the author from 38 to 6. They also started extracting metadata from MSS rather than asking the author to enter it. #SSP2025

The Trump regime is now using US Attorneys to intimidate academic journals by sending them letters demanding they explain how they ensure ‘viewpoint diversity.’ Journal editors should be public about this and coordinate to refuse to comply with these fascist tactics.

“They are denying the harm in order to destroy an engine that made the US the greatest driver of science, of health, of prosperity in the world. Don’t just debunk the lies, point out the game they are playing. Science doesn’t always give the answer that Power wants. Bear witness, tell your story!”
