Open data resources are the foundation for life science innovation. Our recommendations to support this critical enabler. #OpenScience #Science4EU #ResearchInfrastructures
Recent policy changes have led to disruptions to the support of internationally shared #opendata infrastructures. ELIXIR’s position paper recommends: 🌍 Europe invest in open data as a critical enabler of innovation 👉 f1000research.com/documents/… #OpenScience #Science4EU

How come @NBCUniversal has taken down a review of one of its films by the respected film critic @KermodeMovie youtube.com/watch?v=GdRXVsyD… - any exerts from the film surely covered by “Fair use”? Makes you wonder if the review was negative and this is censorship
