Open science practices are essential for maintaining transparency and confidence in science. Come check out an informative session where we discuss best practices, struggles, and tools to make open science more accessible. It’s not about being perfect, it’s about moving in that direction!

To be a scientist in the modern world, you have to be able to write things about science. Badly, but never mind that part. It turns out that a lot of scientists only pretend to do the writing up results part. Sometimes, they only pretend to do the science, too. https://lnkd.in/gyK2_ah2 Technoscreed is the newsletter of science, technology and humor.

Open access and open science have become hot topics in the worlds of research and academic publishing, with the drive towards open science enabling better collaboration, alongside greater accessibility and inclusion. But are there downsides to this, and is there a tension between making science open and protecting intellectual property? In this session we will discuss the challenges in this space, and how we might overcome them. In session five of our series – Science culture: taboos and tricky topics, we explore the question: “How do we tackle the conflict between intellectual property and the drive towards open science?” 2pm UK time, 17 July 2024, live on our LinkedIn and YouTube channels. You can suggest questions and comments any time from now. Find out more and submit your questions: https://rsc.li/4bTv25N

🌍 Step Into the Heart of Science and Policy: Strengthening Policy Through Science 🌍Imagine your research inspiring a real change—shaping policies, influencing decisions, and making a tangible impact beyond academia. This is your chance to bring those ideas forward and connect them with the world of policy!At #EGU25, we’re inviting researchers and science managers to join our session "Strengthening Policy Through Science: Insights from the Interface". Here, we’re diving deep into the successes and challenges at the science-policy boundary, sharing strategies that amplify the societal impact of research.💬Bring your story: Whether you've helped translate science into policy at the local, national, or international level, we want to hear about the moments, breakthroughs, and lessons learned. 📚We also welcome theoretical analyses on the science-policy interface that critically examine and question its foundations from a philosophical or political theory perspective, enriching our understanding of how science can meaningfully inform and interact with policy frameworks.🔗 Submit your abstract by: 15 January 2025, 13:00 CET  Website: https://lnkd.in/eTJy4DhD  Chloe Elizabeth Hill Maria Vittoria Gargiulo, PhD  David Gallego Torres Georg Sebastian Völker Aoife Braiden Marie Cavitte Katharina Sielemann Tome Sandevski  Dr. Matthias Winkler Sébastien Vannier Meike Lohkamp
