Oups. 😄 It seems my close colleague forgot to cut my joke at the end of the sentence... And then not the editor, nor the people in charge of editing considered necessary to change it before publication! #SciencePublication #FunButSad #SadButTrue #FrenchAcademic

In France, only 3% of public spending goes to research — just €27B budgeted for 2025. Shockingly low for a country that prides itself on innovation.

🧪 Underfunded labs
🧠 Brain drain
🏫 Poor faculty conditions

Investing in the future isn’t optional.

Great having @protzko.bsky.social at the (big) Lab these past two weeks! Inspiring discussions and exciting ideas in #metascience.
Thanks for the engaging talk at the #AtelierMMS (Methodology, MetaScience & Stats Lab Meeting). #UniversitéDeToulouse #UT2J

Is there a badge for Registered Reports? I couldn't find one on the COS initiative page (www.cos.io/initiatives/...), which is unfortunate. Last year, I created one for a talk I gave—perhaps it could be useful to others or inspire the creative ones?
