I'm a natural resources social scientist working on coastal and Great Lakes issues. I also host two podcasts, Teach Me About the Great Lakes and Ask Dr. Fish, that should have Mastodon accounts but, for some reason, don't.

Any and all changes to scientific publishing needs to be for so that other **people** can access them and understand them.

And the single most important change would be for Nature and other publishers not to charge 29.99 USD for a shitty 4-paragraph essay that they didn't pay for themselves.
