Background Sparked by highly publicised cases of scientific misconduct as well as the identification of issues surrounding questionable research practices and irreproducibility of research findings, a scandalization process ensued (Penders, 2024). This scandalization initially started around narratives of a crisis concerning the research (processes) in some psychological and biomedical (sub)disciplines.

Malgré la disponibilité de plus de 10’000 styles sur le dépôt officiel de Zotero, il se peut que l’on ne trouve pas exactement LE style qui réponde à 100% à nos besoins. L’objectif de ce billet est de fournir des conseils pratiques et méthodologiques d’ordre général à celles et ceux qui souhaiteraient se lancer dans l’adaptation, voire dans la création d’un style CSL.

Here we are most of the way through March and I’m just getting around to my first “weekly” recap. It’s been a busy month — I’m writing a few papers of my own which I’ll share here when they’re published, and I took some much needed R&R in Portugal where I traded my stack of research papers for some escapist sci-fi. But I’m back now and making my way through a deep backlog.

It started like every other outbreak had, silently, invisibly, spreading before anyone realized it was already too late. Except this time, it wasn’t too late. For the first time in human history, we saw it coming. I stood inside The Helix, the nerve center of the Global Biosecurity Command (GBC), watching as the latest AI-generated pathogen forecast flickered across the glass wall.

Here’s a short post on another 5PVC presentation: Raber et al. (2025) on a musculoskeletal lesion in an apatosaur femur. At the Utah Field House in Vernal, there’s a partial skeleton of an apatosaur from just north of Dinosaur National Monument. It’s nicknamed the “Soft Sauropod” because the bone is softer than the matrix, which made preparation a bit of an adventure.

Jan Wilkens' Publikation „Queer Jewish Groups in Europe“ (erschienen im März 2025) bietet einen Überblick über die Dynamiken und Strukturen queerer jüdischer Gemeinschaften in Europa. Die vom Publikationsfonds für Open-Access-Monografien des Landes Brandenburg geförderte Publikation analysiert, wie sich jüdische und queere Identitäten überlappen und welche Herausforderungen und Erfolge diese Gruppen erfahren. Damit ordnet sich die Publikation der Queer Jewish History zu. Ein zentraler Aspekt des Buches ist die Untersuchung spezifischer Gruppen und Organisationen, die Räume für queere jüdische Personen schaffen. Ein besonderes Augenmerk liegt hierbei auf Frauen, da diese in der Vergangenheit in solchen Untersuchungen unterrepräsentiert waren. Wilkens porträtiert Initiativen in London, Paris und Amsterdam und analysiert deren Strukturen und Aktivitäten. Damit betont er die Wichtigkeit, europäisch-jüdische Geschichte nicht nur entlang von großen Institutionen zu schreiben, sondern insbesondere auch kleinere Zusammenschlüsse in den Blick zu nehmen. „Queer Jewish Groups in Europe“ bietet grundlegende Einblicke für alle, die sich für die Schnittstellen von Religion, Identität und sexueller Orientierung interessieren.
