end 2024/early 2025 my family and I decided to move back to #Brazil, where we are originally from...

Today I realised that I haven't been writing here for a while now, so I guess this is a post to remove the tumbleweed from my account and to say that we are officially moved to a new country and continent!

It's been 17 years since I last lived here.... A lot has changed on all sides!

Folks doing #openscience on this part of the world, let me know! Would love to chat about it...

Workwise I am now affiliated at PUC Campinas, and still building open tools...

It always was a matter of incentives, but the script has been flipped for the worse.

"the scientific enterprise is now witness to widespread, organized defection from the scientific public goods game. Large swaths of players, among them many scientists, reviewers, editors and publishers, are choosing to no longer make genuine contributions to the pot."

Good write up on a recent PNAS paper.

People believe in 'storybook science' which creates unrealistic expectations. Uncomfortable truths are therefore rejected. As such, "Lying increases trust in science", but ultimately better education is needed.

By dr. Hyde --- yes there is ironic twist to the name.

SpringerLinkLying increases trust in science - Theory and SocietyThis study begins by outlining the transparency paradox: that trust in science requires transparency, but being transparent about science, medicine and government reduces trust in science. A solution to the paradox is then advanced here: it is argued that, rather than just thinking in terms of transparency and opacity, it is important to think about what institutions are being transparent about. By attending to the particulars of transparency – especially with respect to whether good or bad news is disclosed – it is revealed that transparency about good news increases trust whereas transparency about bad news decreases it, thus explaining the apparent paradox. The apparent solution: to ensure that there is always only good news to report, which might require lying. This study concludes by emphasizing how problematic it is that, currently, the best way to increase public trust is to lie, suggesting that a better way forward (and the real solution to the transparency paradox) would be to resolve the problem of the public overidealizing science through science education and communication to eliminate the naïve view of science as infallible.

I know: "if you can't be bothered writing it, why should I bother reading it?"

This is not about bothering, it's about being able. There is no way I could have come up with a story like this, so I sought help.

After almost two decades of pushing science towards #openscience, it's starting to feel like important actors are clinging to old, overcome concepts and dear beliefs, despite all the evidence:

To me, this story captures some of this impression surprisingly well.
