This is worrying.

After publishing alarming results on the carcinogenic effects of #glyphosate, the senior researcher of the study seems to be removed from his position as research director at his Italian institute. The whole process seems to be very nontransparent.

Daniele Mandriolini had been the target of “an incredible amount of attacks” since the publication of his article.

What is going on here?

Outrage at European science center as director fired after study on glyphosate

A leading European chemical safety institute has fired the director of its cancer research center after the director launched an extensive testing program into the safety of the pesticide glyphosate, sparking concerns about chemical industry influence into what has been an independent research institution.

The New Lede

Often research are led with public money, and the results put behind paywalls by “publishers” whose role seems today more and more anachronistic.

ce fait soulève une question fondamentale.
les recherches scientifiques sont diffusées sur des sites où il faut payer pour y avoir accès - sous entendu que ça paye les chercheureuses.

sauf qu'il semblerait aussi que les cherchereuses doivent payer pour faire publier leurs recherches et ne touchent pas un rond quand des utilisateurs payent pour y avoir accès.

donc il semblerait bien qu'une fois de plus, ce sont des sociétés qui "proposent" un service (comme les banques tiens...) empochent bien de la thune et refusent de partager...

donc une chercheuse russe a créé un site pirate qui propose toutes les recherches scientifiques du monde en accès libre et gratuit.

beaucoup de gens dans les coms que j'ai lus sont en mode "il faut bien payer les cherchereuses, c'est donc du vol"

personnellement, je pense qu'il faudrait payer les personnes qui font les recherches à une juste valeur et proposer leurs résultats en libre accès.

en tant qu'humains, si on veut évoluer, il faut savoir partager certaines choses essentielles, comme le savoir, car plus de gens auront accès aux recherches, plus il y aura d'idées pour avancer dans notre humanité ?

je suis assez intéressées par vos avis là dessus !!

This 1938 pro-science manifesto defended democracy against fascism

As democracy recedes and fascism rises in the USA and around the world in 2025, history provides a lesson in how science can fight fascism.

Wenn jemand wissen will, wie welche wissenschaftlichen Daten in den USA gerade manipuliert oder unterdrückt werden: der Silencing Science Tracker erfasst es.

It tracks government attempts to restrict or prohibit scientific research, education or discussion, or the publication or use of scientific information, since the November 2016 election."

You know the drama maybe with sci-hub, z-lib, libgen, etc...check out the weird-ass seizure notice with a (IMO) absolute failure in messaging...they don't seem to be swimming in pools of stolen money, rather, looks like they just live in a rural area...but ok.

Just in case you didn't know, there's a meta-search site called annas archive annas-archive.org (with shitty-but-working download mirrors)

and z-library.sk is the current official domain.

and sci-hub seems to be back up and running (multiple domains e.g. sci-hub.se)

Just stop putting your research behind paywalls

gibt es ein beispiel, wo das mit der unabhängigkeit trotz sponsoring wirklich keine rolle spielt? sobald da arbeitsplätze dran hängen kann ich mir das schwer vorstellen...
