The #BritishAcademy closes "Global Professorships" #funding
The programme enabled "mid and senior career researchers from around the world to spend four years in the UK, enriching #Humanities and #SocialScience departments with outstanding international expertise"
But: "Following confirmation of our Spending Review settlement, we have made the strategic decision to conclude the Global Professorships programme in order to strengthen our support for international early career researchers"

Update. "We find a sharp rise in non-existent references following widespread LLM adoption… These errors are…especially pronounced in fields with rapid AI uptake, in manuscripts with linguistic signatures of AI-assisted writing, and among small and early-career author teams. At the same time, hallucinated references disproportionately assign credit to already prominent and male scholars."

Since 2014, eLife has been guided by a diverse committee of active early-career researchers called the ECAG.
Elected through open calls, the group represent the needs of #ECRs and works with eLife leadership to influence and support our mission.

A workshop of the MLTC Cross- #NIHR Collaboration programme suggests three challenge themes in #multimorbidity research #methodology:
https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/26335565251372222Wired:
Transparency, standardisation, reproducibility of multimorbidity research made the list!Tired:
Bullet points in figure 1 have more detail on building methodological capacity than the text. Investing in methodologists (of any kind) is not part mentioned as far as I can see. -

Comments from early career researchers (#ECRs) on how Trump policies affect them:
https://www.technologyreview.com/2025/09/08/1123166/trumps-policy-early-career-scientists/"Several had waited months for news on an application’s status or updates on when funds they had already won would be disbursed."
"One respondent, whose work focuses on fighting child sexual abuse materials, recalled rewriting a grant abstract '3x to remove words banned' by Senator Ted Cruz."
"As an academic, we have to be very careful about how we voice our personal opinion because it will impact the entire university if there is retaliation.”
"Four respondents said they were worried about their own immigration status, while 16 expressed concerns about their ability to attract or retain talent, including international students."

While #OpenScience provides substantial opportunities for researchers in #LMICs, this paper highlights core global barriers and inequities
https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/25152459251357565
It is also a good general introduction into OS!It is important to recognise that current OS practices may not suit local contexts in #LMICs given how strongly they have been shaped (so far!) by researchers in #HICs. There is ample opportunity for #HICs to learn and improve practices from this dialogue!

Having continuously harrowing conversations with #ECRs about the criteria used for hiring and promotion decisions, let's enter the new record-breaking cat by citations:
"In 1975, theoretical physicist Jack Hetherington added his Siamese to one of his single-author papers so the references to “we” would make more sense." (107 citations)
Enter Larry:
With 12 fake papers citing each other and 132 scraped citations on GScholar, he is now the record holder

“The #AIM programme is ahead of other areas in #HealthDataScience in thinking about the benefits of #interdisciplinary collaboration to solve real world problems.”
“Early career researchers #ECRs are our leaders of tomorrow. We must invest in their success by providing career pathways for research in multiple long term conditions #MLTC”
A fantastic interview of Professor Lucy Chappell, Chief Scientific Adviser to the Department of Health & Social Care #DHSX & CEO of #NIHR.

It is always good see colleagues on our "whole school days", which bring a lot of perspectives across all our activities together.
I enjoyed @lmarryat.bsky.social presentation on what @ukri.org Future Leaders Fellowships are, and sharing details about her career and research trajectory up to this point.
