1/ Excited to share that @exgenesis.ingroup.social and I are joining the upcoming "Big if True Science" (BiTS) program! BiTS is an accelerator at Renaissance Philanthropy for scientists & technologists to design ambitious R&D programs. Our “Big if True” hypothesis is >
In many existing journals yes, but there are newer models, see for example

and more here www.fulcrum.org/concern/mono...
Result flow chart showing 130 claimed experiments (colors: blue, green, purple, and gray).
📣 We’re building a new kind of infrastructure for scientific work, where ideas don't get lost, experiments get claimed and completed, and new researchers can hit the ground running. For 40 months, the @matsulab.com has piloted this approach. It's working!

Totally!
What if *researchers* could reserve the rights to their research, not the journals?
Maybe with the help of @atproto.science ?
1/ Finally wrote up “The Story of Mendeley”! Most people know the tool, few know about its rise and fall. The Mendeley story provides important clues for how to build self-sustaining AND non-extractive knowledge commons, which is why I think it deserves more attention 🧵
“In a physical world of .. printed journals, bundling made sense. In a digital world, we are increasingly constrained by boundaries that no longer make sense. In a world of AI, what does the bundle prevent us from seeing?” 🎯
Great piece by @row1.ca on unbundling research into modular knowledge! >
“Open, Collaborative and Participative Science: Rethinking the Legitimacy of Knowledge, the Policies and the Future of Science.” - looks like an interesting track during the Eu-SPRI Forum Annual Conference 2026 (10–12 June 2026, Valencia)

New AI science tool by Open AI openai.com/index/introd... - great motivation for why we need movements for open, community stewarded infra like @continuous.foundation @atproto.science @cairos.network rather than extractive data grabs by big platforms
This also works if we replace "artists" with "researchers"
More about that soon with @cairos.network !

2025 was a big year for us: @semble.so went from concept to working product, with 150 users in 2 months, a public API, and the wonderful atproto community already helping us build into the Atmosphere. We also co-launched @atproto.science and @cairos.network. Here's our year in review and what's next
Hello world!
