A real case of how administrative interpretation can block international research collaboration. A Ukrainian researcher was deemed ineligible because a municipal (public) university was not considered “state” 🤯 under a specific interpretation.
This raises important questions about consistency and transparency in international funding schemes.

Reforms of science funding in the UK aim to “do fewer things better”.
Clearer priorities could strengthen impact, but uncertain timelines and budget shifts may slow research momentum, especially for early-career scientists.

Eric Jensen & I have a new paper out, based on a survey of research software funders, in a Sloan-funded research software policy project

Hot off the press - our report on gender disparities in grant seeking at the University of Cambridge (who applies for and who gets research grant funding).
The story:
1) The structural disparities are big (not so surprising)
2) The patterns of disparity at particular grades in particular disciplines go both ways (more surprising)#ResearchPolicy

Although the #COVID pandemic has accelerated research and highlighted the benefits stemming from publicly-funded basic research, it has also revealed structural issues within #ResearchCulture globally.
Our October webinar on the lasting effects of the pandemic on research cultures is with Gemma Derrick, Associate Professor (Research Policy & Culture) at the University of Bristol, Tues 17 Oct, 1pm UK time.

Russian scientists should be given the opportunity to abandon "Putin's affiliations"
👉 http://dx.doi.org/10.13140/RG.2.2.36348.21126
#Paradox - West universities are trying to boycott "putin's science", and at the same time they pay russian scientists salaries, give them access to infrastructure, and then the achievements of these researches fall into the treasury of russian universities, where it can be used by putin's propaganda ☠️ .
