The increasingly hostile attitude of the new U.S. government towards science and academia leaves many of us deeply concerned— if not outright alarmed. In an effort to better understand the unfolding situation and navigate its potential impacts, we provide an overview of five types of threats, each supported by links to documented sources.

Act I: Enchantment It usually starts early on.  You are looking at something. A couple of bugs on the ground. A star in the sky. The veins on a leaf. The stream of bubbles in your soda.

This is a guest post from Stephen Turner, who publishes the Paired Ends Substack about genomics, computational biology, and data science. He also happens to be one of the best bioinformatics engineering leaders I’ve ever worked with. Just sayin’. So I wanted him to share his thoughts on how he went from an academic to a leader in industry.

Das DINI-Zertifikat ist der zentrale Standard für Open-Access-Publikationsdienste im deutschsprachigen Raum. Es definiert Kriterien, die beim Aufbau und Betrieb von Publikationsdiensten erfüllt werden sollten, um die Qualität, Interoperabilität und Nachhaltigkeit von Open-Access-Publikationsdiensten zu sichern.

INTOXICOM is an ELIXIR Toxicoloy Community (doi:10.12688/f1000research.74502.2) implementation study, organizing five workshops, each one with a different topic. The first three workshops were in Utrecht (doi:10.37044/osf.io/un2rw), Basel, and Uppsala.

As an academic librarian, I’m often asked: “Which AI search tool should I use?” With a flood of new tools powered by large language models (LLMs) entering the academic search space, answering that question is increasingly complex.

In its March 2025 meeting, the Crossref board unanimously voted to update both the Crossref bylaws and the Crossref membership terms to: Provide more clarity and alignment between our bylaws and membership terms, where they had become out of sync over the years.
