Géopolitique de la science, la France régresse
Ce graphique aux couleurs pétantes pourrait être un (très mauvais) tableau abstrait. C'est plutôt une leçon de choses géopolitiques allant bien au delà de ce qu'il représente au premier degré. C'est à...

Good news for research assessment: the body in charge of rating journals for research assessment in Finland, JUFO, has downgraded 271 Frontiers and MDPI journals to its lowest rating.
Another occasion to remind scientists that being associated to predatory publishers can damage their reputation.

Finland Publication Forum will downgrade hundreds of Frontiers and MDPI journals
A committee of scholars in Finland has decided to downgrade 271 journals from Frontiers and MDPI in their quality rating system, in a move that may discourage researchers from submitting manuscript…

Great news: Nature announces officially that "Researchers are flocking to the social-media platform Bluesky, hoping to recreate the good old days of Twitter."
Looking forward to discuss here on science issues here!

‘A place of joy’: why scientists are joining the rush to Bluesky
Researchers say the social-media platform — an alternative to X — offers more control over the content they see and the people they engage with.

The New Yorker had a fascinating article on the risks posed by major solar storms. Some key takeaways are that:
- no major solar storm occurred recently (since 1921) but they are relatively frequent -- estimated 12% chance of one in the next decade, (1/2)
- no major solar storm occurred recently (since 1921) but they are relatively frequent -- estimated 12% chance of one in the next decade, (1/2)
What a Major Solar Storm Could Do to Our Planet
Disturbances on the sun may have the potential to devastate our power grid and communication systems. When the next big storm arrives, will we be prepared for it?

This article in PNAS documents the increasing tendency of US-based scientists of Chinese descent to move to China. Among possible explanations: "the widespread fear among scientists of Chinese descent in the United States arising from conducting routine research and academic activities".

Hello Bluesky! I'm only starting here, so here is a brief presentation. I'm a mathematician, professor at the U. of Luxembourg, interested in math, science, science policy, and other things. I'll repost here a few posts done elsewhere recently.
