“That is, researchers who publish in ‘prestigious’ or ‘high impact’ journals are more likely to be hired, promoted and receive funding.” I wonder to what extent this remains true, given the widespread adoption of DORA?

And the BBC are funding Local Democracy reporters anyway, so they may as well get the benefit from that.

That is a separate issue, and short of direct funding, which thanks to the tories we can’t afford, there’s not much the government can do this winter.

.@BeachWW453 and @EricaGroshen beseech Congress to increase funding for BLS to modernize the collection of data for the monthly jobs report. www.wsj.com/opinion/can-...#econsky

Just once Id like someone to ask a politician why they think that funding Israel’s genocide is a better use of funds than say ending Homelessness or eliminating child poverty

The anti-trans bigots are at it again. Leaving aside the misgendering, the potential for doxxing and harassment here is obvious. If they cared about women’s sport they’d be campaigning for better access, more funding and so on. But that’s not what this is about.

And well funded. This is what we’re up against. It only got much worse after Citizens United. Musk is funding trump’s entire ground game. You and I can contribute $3k. The rich can do whatever they please. The goal is a kleptocracy and we’re far along that path now.

Of course teachers' pay is, even after the national settlement, stupidly low; education funding generally is probably 25% short. But it should be obvious to anyone that the structures of education in this country are a massive problem. But we lack the imagination to challenge the sausage machine.
