In this episode of our Speaker Series, Suze meets meet Dr Maria Avxentevskaya, Postdoctoral Fellow at the Max Planck Institute for the History of Science, and Dr Ben Johnson, Postdoctoral Fellow at the Max Planck Institute for Chemical Energy Conversion. In this chat, Maria, Ben and Suze discuss the history and philosophy of science, exploring topics such as the role of scientific institutions, cycles of complexity in science, ethical considerations in scientific research, and the ever-changing, transformative landscape of research practices. They also tackle the impact of new technologies, such as AI, on the scientific community and society, and the importance of science communication and public engagement.

From 1973 to today - Exploring the evolution of persistent identifiers as an open invitation to collaborate.

This episode of TL;DR Shorts features Esther Dyson sharing her thoughts on the future of research. Esther makes a compelling and convincing case for researchers and innovators to intelligently examine existing knowledge to see what else could be implemented from research that may have been overlooked in favour of creating new knowledge.

There are many different roles in a university, not just researchers. If you have one of these roles, we’d love to hear from you. How did you get there? How is it changing? As part of our commitment to the academic community, we have created a global survey, designed to assess the evolving roles in academia, the challenges on the horizon, and the impact of technology and other external forces on these changes.

It's time for another TL;DR Tuesday, and this time we're chatting with Boston University's Mariette DiChristina, Dean of the College of Communication about articifial intelligence. Mariette discusses the challenge and opportunities in AI for research.

This week's #TLDRTuesday features Dr Ernest Mwebaze. In this TL;DR Shorts episode, Ernest chats about the transformation of research to a more open, more collaborative endeavour than ever before, and the challenges and opportunities of that change.

In this episode of our Speaker Series, Suze meets Alice Meadows, community engagement professional and Co-Founder of the More Brains Cooperative. In this chat, Alice tells us about research infrastructure, persistent identifiers (PIDs), the marvellous nature of good metadata, and what she would like to see from the future of information and knowledge management in the research community.

Today's TL;DR Shorts episode with George Dyson is all about how we can foster innovation and nurture it when lightning strikes. George believes that research group sizes reach a critical mass beyond which fast innovation is hampered by bureaucracy. George feels that more can be done to support research transformation by other actors in the research landscape, including governments and funders.

In today's TL;DR Shorts episode we hear from Dr Amy Brand about the importance of transparency via provenance of published research information to help us create new research technology based on trustworthy knowledge.

Today's TL;DR Shorts episode is brought to you by Chris DiBona, a world-renowned leader in Open Source Research, and covers many of the themes we are currently discussing across the research community, including open research, trust and integrity, and revamping research culture to make it more fit-for-purpose.
