NEW: Bluesky is becoming place to discuss scientific research - it gets more proper engagement & attention, new study finds.
For all the talk of decline - borne out by several metrics - the science community seems to have adopted Bluesky more than others.

Two new cases of HIV remission after stem cell transplant for cancer reported at #CROI2025. These have become so routine that they're posters instead of oral presentations. We know an HIV cure is possible -- now we need to use clues from these rare cases to develop widely applicable approaches.

Current PubMed issues appear to be (fingers crossed) more technical than political, but good to remind yourself of the alternatives.
Hate that it has come to this, but it's time to consider PubMed vulnerable to enshittification. My latest post @plos.org discusses the lines we need to fight to hold – and alternatives we can rely on internationally:

Interesting piece in @mitpress.bsky.social Tech Review about #AI paternalism in healthcare. i.e. "the doctor knows best" being replaced by AI knows best, both dismissing patient experience: www.technologyreview.com/2023/04/21/1...
Artificial intelligence is infiltrating health care. We shouldn’t let it make all the decisions.
AI paternalism could put patient autonomy at risk—if we let it.
