ICSSI

Looking forward to sharing the work we've been doing at @scienceimpacts.org mapping impacts of science funding cuts during the next parallel session on Data, Infrastructure & Software @icssi.org! scienceimpacts.org

2. Do university presidents matter? Do they steer resources towards research fields they come from? Zerin Dong's paper suggests yes and yes

Alright boys and girls, let's reboot this account and see what's going on over at #ICSSI2026! A thread 🧵... 1. Gross and Bergstrom with a deep slide: incentives for early stage evaluations (grants) different from late stage (papers)

“When we write grants, we aim to create suspense. When we write papers, surprise.” Kevin Gross at #ICSSI2026

Favorite joke/play on words at @icssi.org. @sampat.bsky.social, introducing the panelist, Lisa Margonelli, who is editor of issues in Science Technology: “You’re the editor of Issues in Science Technology…” beat “…well, science certainly has issues. Let’s talk about them” #SciSci #metascience

New joint guide from @crossref.bsky.social and @datacite.org, with practical information about the different #metadata elements supported by each to help consider the integrity of the scholarly record: doi.org/10.5281/zeno.... The upshot: richer metadata can help assess #researchintegrity.

🔬 #ICSSI2026 Speaker Spotlight 5: Kevin Gross A statistician at NC State, Prof. Gross's game-theoretic work reveals how funding competitions shape risk-taking, how peer review steers discovery, and why the social structure of science matters. LAST DAY for speakers to register! icssi.org

🔬 #ICSSI2026 Speaker Spotlight 4: Chaoqun Ni Co-Director of the Metascience Research Lab at Wisconsin, Prof Ni studies how science is produced, evaluated, and rewarded, with key recent work on AI-assisted writing and miscitation detection. Learn more about Ni and our entire lineup at icssi.org !

🔬 #ICSSI2026 Speaker Spotlight 3: Charles Gomez How does geopolitics shape AI research? Who shapes global scientific knowledge? Who gets left out? Sociology Prof @charlesgomez.bsky.social studies this, and more, leading the Global Knowledge Lab and Observatory at Arizona. Register at icssi.org !

On our third and last day, we started with a second round of sparkling Lightning Talks.

Social dinner is commencing splendidly at the illustrious Moltkes Palace, while the ever witty dinner speaker Sune Lehmann @sunelehmann.com peppers us with philosophical questions such as "Can we expand the personbyte?" We don't know the answer, but maybe buy more personRAM first? 🤖

Day 2 of ICSSI 2025 keeps us on high alert with Lightning Talks, announcements of exciting new research challenges by Sarah Otner and Daniel Goroff, and a timely panel on Diversity in Science: Measurement and Progress. #icssi2025
