I really like Google's pageless layout feature. Unless it's intended to be printed, page breaks are a distraction from the semantic structure of the doc.
I only wish somebody had told them that line lengths longer than about 100 characters are really hard to read
'Narrow' should be 'Medium'

Research security is an under-discussed topic in #scholcomm and #academicpublishing circles. I think it's time to pay a bit more attention because the mandates and requirements will be coming.
Could research security measures reshape open science?

Interesting report on OpenAI's DevDay.
People have been talking about how LLMs will replace user interfaces for some time. With 800M users having set their default search engine to ChatGPT and the rollout of in-chat apps and new API integrations, this is how OpenAI thinks that will happen.

I'm looking forward to speaking a this panel on whether AI can help 'clean up' scientific publishing. There's a lot of talk about AI and about research integrity, so let's talk about the intersection of the two.

More senior researcher see Open Science less positively and riskier - Not good news
Hard to untangle if that's generational or if researchers are being put off openness as they gain experience.
