It’s more important than ever that scientists be engaged in public and political discourse.

The Open Science movement champions transparency, but how much and how quickly is a matter of dispute.

Even after reading every single related news article, it is still worth reading the 300-plus page National Academies of Science, Engineering, and Medicine report on Sexual Harassment in its entirety. The report lays out why academia is fundamentally broken and incapable of dealing with harassment.

Universities need to rethink how they evaluate academics for promotion.

Tolerating bad behavior means wasted tax dollars, disrupted scientific advancements and weakened innovation.

Wrong question; instead of scapegoating individual researchers, we should blame the centers of power, including corporations and political leaders.

When it’s also big science, the careers of those involved can suffer.

Economists show increased research efforts are yielding decreasing returns. Too much innovation veneration! One driver of the replication crisis is our culture’s growing obsession with “innovation.” As technology historians Lee Vinsel and Andrew Russell state in their influential Aeon essay Hail the Maintainers: “Entire societies have come to talk about innovation as if it were an inherently desirable value."

Amidst a controversy, it’s important to remember that implicit bias is real and it matters.  The same thought processes that make people smart can also make them biased.

Because Trump has not nominated someone to head the Office of Science and Technology Policy, Michael Kratsios is the de facto leader.

It's easy (and right) to criticize Trump for his vulgar dismissal of developing countries, but scientists harbor their own prejudice.

It sounds almost absurd, but that could be one factor behind the so-called “reproducibility crisis”.
