Center for Open Science Establishes Independent Subsidiary in Brussels, Belgium

The Center for Open Science (COS) has officially established an independent subsidiary organization in Brussels, Belgium. This new Belgian entity is formally recognized as an International Nonprofit Organization (INPO/AISBL) by Royal Decree, a legal structure specifically designed for international nonprofit organizations operating across national borders. While legally independent from the U.S.-based COS, the Brussels organization will function as an integrated part of the global COS strategy, sharing its mission, strategy, and brand. This move aims to deepen partnerships, facilitate participation in European initiatives, and pursue opportunities that advance the global mission of increasing openness, integrity, and trustworthiness in research. The establishment builds upon COS's existing collaborations with researchers, institutions, funders, policymakers, and open science communities throughout Europe, creating avenues for more sustained engagement.

California Mandates Workplace Violence Prevention Training for Employers

California Mandates Workplace Violence Prevention Training for Employers

California has implemented SB 553, a new mandate requiring employers with 10 or more employees to establish and maintain a written Workplace Violence Prevention Plan and provide specific training to their workforce. This legislation, which became effective on July 1, 2024, with Cal/OSHA enforcement beginning in 2025, makes workplace violence prevention the fastest-growing training mandate in the U.S. The training is not generic; it must be tailored to the employer's specific plan, covering reporting routes, escalation paths, and identified hazards. At least nine other states are considering similar legislation, indicating a growing national trend. Industries with high exposure, such as healthcare and retail, are particularly affected by these new requirements. The mandate emphasizes the importance of a proactive approach to preventing workplace violence, moving it from a best practice to a legal obligation.

Harvard Study Links Seasonal Peaks in Mass Shootings and Suicides to Summer Months

Harvard Study Links Seasonal Peaks in Mass Shootings and Suicides to Summer Months

New research led by a Harvard Medical School clinical fellow at Brigham and Women’s Hospital indicates that annual peaks for both mass shootings and suicides in the U.S. occur within days of each other in late June and July. Conversely, the lowest points for both events are observed during the winter months, between December and February. The study, published in the Journal of Biological Rhythms, analyzed 3,305 mass shootings and 360,827 suicide deaths between January 2014 and October 2021, using publicly available data from sources like the Gun Violence Archive and the CDC. Mark Czeisler, the lead author, noted that while mass shootings are significantly rarer than suicides, they show a 613% difference between their summertime peak and winter valley, compared to a 12% rise for suicides. The study suggests that many mass shootings are fundamentally suicidal acts, a theory supported by previous research indicating that a growing percentage of shooters die during these events.
