Direct means include submitting evidence in policy meetings, claiming how open science is ‘bad science’ and spending millions in lobbying. They have been exploiting their dominant position—which is further established through indirect means—to push-up prices. Sweden and Germany couldn’t reach an agreement with them and have cancelled subscriptions to them. If not mistaken, they are the only major publisher we (Swedish academics) can’t pay any open access fees through our national OA scheme. They have sued ISPs to block Sci-Hub and overly engaged in an overzealous campaign to keep everything behind their paywall. Indirect means include pushing tools like *Scorpus* and *CiteScore* for an overall ’quantification’ of science that has led to people preferring existing non-OA journals and venues with high impact factor. This, of course, has other consequences in the lives of academics as we are now playing a MinMax game every time we apply for a promotion or a new position.

How to ask critical questions nicely at a conference When I ask a question after a conference presentation, sometimes it’s critical in nature, but I don’t want to sound too aggressive or hurt the presenter’s feelings. So I want to sound as nice as possible and add comments like “thank you for your presentation, it’s very interesting…” before getting into the question. But sometimes this feels too superficial, and I was wondering what would be a more natural way to sound nicer when asking a critical question at a conference. | 08c5ab7c922b2a579a09c8aa7608e5e3601cf2780b15b06e5ce105b332c8519b | [

How to ask critical questions nicely at a conference When I ask a question after a conference presentation, sometimes it’s critical in nature, but I don’t want to sound too aggressive or hurt the presenter’s feelings. So I want to sound as nice as possible and add comments like “thank you for your presentation, it’s very interesting…” before getting into the question. But sometimes this feels too superficial, and I was wondering what would be a more natural way to sound nicer when asking a critical question at a conference. | 08c5ab7c922b2a579a09c8aa7608e5e3601cf2780b15b06e5ce105b332c8519b | [

"content": "If I have a question or two after a paper, I write them down and go through the following checklist: 1. Is this question primarily to showcase my own expertise/give my unsolicited opinion, or to actually ask for further clarification on something? If my desire to chime in is to promote my own ideas, I keep my mouth shut. 2. Am I pointing something out that is factually incorrect? If so, can I conceivably email or track down the presenter afterwards and do it discreetly? This one is tough, because I have to make a value judgment. If it's a minor detail that doesn't fundamentally change the argument, I'll point it out in private. This has been done to me once (I had a minor labeling error in a musical analysis) and someone was kind enough to email me afterwards to inform me of it. I appreciated both that they pointed it out, and that they were kind enough to do so discreetly. 3. Will my question actually contribute in a positive way to the discussion? If the spirit of the question is to contribute to the discourse by raising a valid argument that wasn't addressed in the presentation, or to build off of a point they made, then I try to do so as briefly as I can. As far as delivery: I always start by complimenting them on some facet of the paper I enjoyed before asking the question or raising concerns. If you didn't like anything about the paper, I've found it's better to just keep quiet rather than be \"that guy\" who is being ornery for no reason.",

I'm a computational person so I'm really excited that we are on the cusp of some really high-fidelity whole-device computer models of fusion experiments - kind of the holy grail of computational plasma physics, that simulate everything from atomic processes at the wall to the micron-scale effects such as ionization and redeposition in the near-surface plasma, to impurity transport in the meters-long scrape-off-layer, to the hotter than the center of the sun core - it's an exciting time for fusion computation. To learn more about fusion, there's no replacement for graduate classes, but Chen's Plasma Physics text is a great, advanced undergraduate-level starting point.",

I'm a computational person so I'm really excited that we are on the cusp of some really high-fidelity whole-device computer models of fusion experiments - kind of the holy grail of computational plasma physics, that simulate everything from atomic processes at the wall to the micron-scale effects such as ionization and redeposition in the near-surface plasma, to impurity transport in the meters-long scrape-off-layer, to the hotter than the center of the sun core - it's an exciting time for fusion computation. To learn more about fusion, there's no replacement for graduate classes, but Chen's Plasma Physics text is a great, advanced undergraduate-level starting point.",

The technology is pretty much there now, it's just a matter of the economics. Especially if things like NASA's Artemis program actually go ahead, which might be a huge accelerant, since they are ok with losing money. There's also a lot of really cool work going into hyperspectral imaging at the moment, for everything from regional mapping down to core logging, since it can discriminate really well between different alteration minerals, which makes it a great tool for deposit vectoring.",

I'm a computational person so I'm really excited that we are on the cusp of some really high-fidelity whole-device computer models of fusion experiments - kind of the holy grail of computational plasma physics, that simulate everything from atomic processes at the wall to the micron-scale effects such as ionization and redeposition in the near-surface plasma, to impurity transport in the meters-long scrape-off-layer, to the hotter than the center of the sun core - it's an exciting time for fusion computation.

"content": "Ecology. The first papers predicting anthropogenic climate change by the greenhouse effect came out in the 1890s, and scientists predicted its direct effects. About 100 years later, ecologists realized its indirect effects include ocean acidification, coral bleaching, changes in how plants photosynthesize, and more. Biodiversity loss is sort of the new climate change. In the last 50 years, humans have removed 70% of wild vertebrates from ecosystems, especially large animals. In the short term, we know removal of large animals directly reduces biogeochemical cycling, reduces ecosystem productivity (e.g., carbon storage), increases fire size, and increases population sizes and densities of small animals. Among other effects, increased pest population densities means greater likelihood of disease and spillover of disease to humans. So I find the most exciting ecological research to be characterizing long-term effects of biodiversity loss (often using the fossil record) in order to predict and combat the changes we are about to see.",
