Don't be ashamed of "messy" code. If it works, it's good. Share it.

This is a long shot, but here we go: in November 2024, I made this screenshot presumably from a YouTube video that I watched on #reproducibility or #OpenScience. Does anyone recognise it? I sadly did not make a note of the source... Thank you!
EDIT: Mystery solved! Thanks for boosting everyone and a huge thank you to @DieterLukas who worked out that this slide comes at 7:34 mins in this talk by R. McElreath: https://youtu.be/d8LqFO1dk-w! 🙏 (P.S: such a great talk - I highly recommend it!)

The University of Utrecht is canceling the #WebOfScience and offering training sessions on #OpenAlex.

"Discontinuing Web of Science is a logical step that fits in with the UU vision on #OpenScience. Closed commercial databases, such as Web of Science, are not in line with our desire to work with open research information as much as possible. The UU signed the #BarcelonaDeclaration in 2024 to this effect. The use of Journal Impact Factors [#JIFs] is also not in line with our vision of Open Science…With the funds freed up by not renewing the licence, we will continue to invest in open source research and infrastructure."

Just back from the @osfair 2025 at CERN, where I was very proud to introduce the Principles of Open Science Monitoring, the first output of @osmi, in a fantastic panel led by Agata Morka, with Iain Hrynaszkiewicz and Kirsty Merrett.
We had a wonderful audience and lots of questions. I also had the priviledge to visit the antimatter factory, a must-see ! And of course, as always in conferences, I was happy to connect in-person with #OpenScience friends.
A few highlights that resonated with me:
✔️ The alignment (or misalignment) between EU and national policies remains a key tension point, with success stories but also gaps
✔️ Reforming research assessment is still crucial if we want open practices to be truly rewarded, BUT let’s not create an open-science index
✔️Finally, the broader context matters: politics, AI, and global competition are shaping the future of science just as much as infrastructures and policies
Also very impressed by the work of @swheritage, which carried out a detailed analysis of the software produced by CERN 👏 #OSFair2025

Open science orgs are stronger together 💪
@thecarpentries , Open Life Science, @pyOpenSci & @prereview and rOpenSci are convening to move from surviving → thriving.
