Governance & Regulation Specialist, solutions to commercial exploitation of research, data, public funds and services by private/state actors (personal views)
Thank you to my co-panellists #OASPA Lisbon. We unpicked the research integrity issues in scholarly publishing ranging from a transparently labelling research metadata, to defining the value of open peer review to looking at the impact of incorrect/false research data in LLM's.
💚 CHANGE IS HAPPENING! 💚

@isnit0@RosieP4@RachelReevesMP@Keir_Starmer Without nature, there is no human flourishing. I assume you don't live in a new development yourself? Poor construction, congestion, flooding, noise on busy roads, no community - really nothing to be proud of!
The perfect match @TimothyWSchwab for @unherd
Gates strategic creation of conflict of interest: the“Bill chill” — the chilling effect that makes (Universities) reluctant to criticise the man who so many look to for funding

New report by leading semiconductor analyst Dylan Patel shows that DeepSeek spent over $1 billion on its compute cluster. The widely reported $6M number is highly misleading, as it excludes capex and R&D, and at best describes the cost of the final training run only.
The cost of mandating Open Science (and giving up IP) to the UK University sector is a staggering GBP 287 703 000 (approx Two hundred eighty-seven million pounds) over 9 years - an average of about GBP 32, 000, 000 (Thirty-two million) pounds per year. https://t.co/X9Zuwfffnu
Some interesting stats on IP commercialisation in Universities. Oxford head and shoulders above the rest - Sheffield interestingly does well too.

I met Tim in London at a conference earlier this year and everyone in the room, including Gates funded academics, left enlightened. Philanthrocapitalism is entrenched in academia.
Now I tell my story: I was invited to participate in this Netflix series, but refused b/c I didn't trust the filmmakers. Here's what I found out about their funding.
