I just found and read this article today. Searching Mastodon with "Peter Putnam" found me several people who linked to the article, including Greg Egan.

Better late than never. It's an excellent long form article by Amanda Gefter about physicist/philosopher Peter Putnam, one of John Wheeler's students, and why he vanished from academia.

🆕 The Principles of Open Science Monitoring, developed as a result of consultations led by @osmi and @unesco, are now available online:
🔗 https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.15807480

The principles focus on three key pillars: 1) relevance & significance, 2) transparency & reproducibility, 3) self-assessment & responsible use.

💡 They are not intended for assessing individual researchers. Instead, they are to serve as the framework of past and upcoming OS monitoring systems worldwide.
