They're called public records for a reason. Starting today, WIRED will *stop paywalling* articles that are primarily based on public records obtained through the Freedom of Information Act, becoming the first publication to partner with @freedom.press to offer this for our new coverage.
Wired is dropping paywalls for FOIA-based reporting. Others should follow

Sound familiar...?
RFK Jr.: farmers “shld consider...letting (H5N1) run thru the flock so that we can identify...& preserve the birds, that are immune to it”...

Public trust of science--nice review of nuanced findings.
E.g., 68 nation survey: trust unrelated to sci & political orientation. Per @rodabhari.bsky.social, suggests conservative skepticism abt sci not rooted in ideology but... a result of "deliberate politicization by corp.'s & (GOP) pundits." 🛟

Even scientists share scientific articles without reading them!
I recently published an article calling out a scientist for spreading anti-vax misinformation. The scientist just tweeted my article out... as if it supported their anti-vax agenda 🤦♀️

Hi Bluesky (+ many friendly familiar faces). I'm a researcher in HCI + ML, assistant prof at Simon Fraser University up in BC, and working on "healthy data flow". Doing a quick thread recapping some recent writing (blogs, pre-prints, etc.) that capture the things I work on and talk about!

Hi @altmetric.com, is there a plan for indexing Bluesky for academic mentions?
