Open science has transformed how research is conducted, shared, and reused.Yet the organisations at the heart of this transformation are often left vulnerable, underfunded, and disconnected from one another.To move from simply surviving to truly thriving, five leading open science organisations – The Carpentries, OLS, rOpenSci , pyOpenSci, and PREreview – are convening to chart a collective path forward.We are so grateful to The

In the fall of 1864 the gap again became the key to East Tennessee. Across three days, November 11 to 13, Major General John C. Breckinridge pressed a smaller Federal force under Alvan C. Gillem, roughly 2,500 effectives, with about 3,000 Confederates on the field.

There is a crisis in scientific publishing. Science is haunted. In early 2024, one major publisher retracted hundreds of scientific papers. Most were not the work of hurried researchers, but of ghosts—digital phantoms generated by artificial intelligence. Featuring nonsensical diagrams and fabricated data, they had sailed through the gates of peer review. This spectre of AI-driven fraud is not only a new technological threat.

The great multimedia content deception Learning teams spend millions on dressing up content with multimedia. The premise is always the same: better graphics equal better learning. The evidence tells a different story. The focus on the presentation and transmission of content represents a fundamental misunderstanding of how learning actually works in our complex world.

Educational technology professionals cite Richard Mayer’s 2008 study more than any other research on multimedia instruction. They are citing the wrong conclusion. Mayer did not prove multimedia enhances learning. He proved multimedia creates cognitive problems requiring ten different workarounds – and accidentally built the case for text-based instruction.
