This thread is inspired by a letter published by medical residents at CMN 25 Hospital (IMSS) in Mexico, following the suicide of one of their colleagues.
They describe a toxic work environment: abuse, public humiliation, threats, and chronic overwork.

The way we publish science is broken. The scientific article, as the ultimate research output, no longer reflects the complexity of the research process. We need a deep reform of research assessment and the scientific publication system. Here's a proposal. #OpenScience #ScienceReform

Dr. Yensi Flores Bueso and colleagues from Global Young Academy have collaborated to publish one of the most comprehensive studies on how institutions advance and promote academics. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Open access is a step, but not the destination. Paywalls are a symptom. The real issues? Perverse incentives, exclusion, opacity, and profit-driven publishing. Reform means rethinking the whole system. #OpenAccess #OpenScience #AcademicReform

Open Science isn’t just about sharing papers. It’s about rethinking how we do research: transparency, collaboration, equity, and relevance to society. It's a blueprint for fixing broken parts of the system. #OpenScience #ScienceReform

Science drives progress—but its institutions are stuck. From funding to publishing to incentives, much of it needs change. I want to use this space to share ideas for reform & connect with others thinking the same. #ScienceReform #OpenScience

Just joined #Bluesky to connect with others who care about science—not just the discoveries, but how the whole system works (or doesn’t). I believe we need deep reform in science & academia. Let’s talk about how we can make research more open, fair & impactful. #ScienceReform
