I don't understand why such actions are being taken by science orgs. At @cos.io we cannot meet our mission to increase openness, integrity, and reproducibility of research WITHOUT improving
Inclusion->offer respect and access
Equity->adapt to people's needs
Diversity->for everyone
Fold on that? No

Really pleased to now be on BlueSky and looking forward to being able to move back to constructive discussions, as we used to be able to do on Twitter. Really great to see the acceleration of people now moving across to this platform.
