🔑 Eight pillars have been identified by the European Commission to promote open science: FAIR Data, Research Integrity, Next Generation Metrics, Future of Scholarly Communication, Citizen Science, Education and Skills, Rewards and Incentives, and the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC).

Henrich and colleagues famously highlighted that individuals from "Western, Educated, Industrialized, Rich, and Democratic" (WEIRD) cultures represent only 12% of the global population. Yet, much of scientific research relies on these populations, even though they are statistically outliers and culturally distinct from the rest of the world. This raises a critical challenge: how can we achieve generalizable conclusions in science without greater diversity in population samples? Two major barriers contribute to this issue: 1️⃣ Unequal access to resources and opportunities for scientific work worldwide. 2️⃣ A lack of practical guidance for researchers on how to diversify their population samples and engage in more inclusive practices. In my recently published commentary paper in the Journal of Neuroscience, I outline practical steps for conducting research projects like those displayed below 👇 . Importantly, the focus is on doing this work both correctly and respectfully.

This year marks a significant milestone for Lithuania: five years as a proud member of the European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL)! Why does this matter? EMBL is a global leader in molecular biology research, fostering groundbreaking science, interdisciplinary collaboration, and access to cutting-edge technologies. For Lithuanian researchers, it’s an opportunity to contribute to addressing critical challenges like public health and climate change while advancing our nation’s scientific potential. On December 2, Vilnius will host a special event celebrating EMBL's 50th anniversary and Lithuania's 5th year as a member. The event will feature EMBL Director General Prof. Edith Heard, distinguished scientists, policymakers, and industry leaders. Attendees will also experience an inspiring exhibition where science and art converge. Curious about how EMBL membership is shaping Lithuania’s scientific future?

The ten themes addressed by the One Ocean Science Congress are diverse. Below are the topics that will be covered under theme 1 « Integrating knowledge systems, with a focus on responsibility and respect for the ocean ». https://lnkd.in/edqkVQtf #OOSC Ifremer CNRS

🚨 🚨 NEWS : During the previous two days, I enjoyed participating in the fourth edition of the Doctoral Students Days. It was a great opportunity to present a part of my progress in my research with a poster. Furthermore, I captured this occasion to attend interesting conferences, exchange knowledge with many young researchers, and have an idea about their works, which can inspire many new ideas and help me to have some potential new collaborations. #Chemistry #JDD24 #DrugDesign #MedicinalChemistry #Reserach

📣 In our current series we are introducing our fellow EOSC Family projects, their mission, consortium, and values. 💡 In this installment we are introducing the EOSC Siesta project. This project aims to deliver a set of tools, services, and methodologies for the effective sharing of sensitive/private data in the EOSC, following a cloud-based model and approach to foster the sharing and processing of sensitive data in the EOSC.
