I just got a super strange e-mail today from one of the two candidates for the #ACS presidential elections, and I wonder why I got it? I unsubscribed and it says it was the "ACS member list", but what is that? I can't find it in my personal ACS e-mail preferences. Did ACS give my personal data to a third party? #AmericanChemicalSociety #chemistry #chemiverse

When people tell me generative AI will solve real-world problems

And here it is!

250g of dry soybeans have yielded around 300g of #tofu.

Plus a heap of pulp (okara) that I’ll prepare like fried rice.

I am still mulling over the idea of doing a folktale bracket for October... Have people nominate their favorite tale types and find some fun stories for each type, maybe. What say you all?

@paninid I've said this a lot, but the reason people don’t think Excel is a real programming language" is because if we admitted that, we’d have to admit that a lot of the most important software in the world is written by underpaid women in pink collar jobs.

"Yes honey, we will go home and you can eat the kitty cat."

The elderly lady giving me a horrified look at the park probably doesn't know chicken nuggets come in cat-shaped pieces now...

@vergoulis Sounds great, Thanasis! It seems you have managed to implement recommendation 5 that I made in a blog post published earlier this year https://upstream.force11.org/the-preprint-revolution-implications-for-bibliographic-databases/amp/. So far none of the databases discussed in the blog post has implemented this recommendation.

Why this is important? As preprints & postprints have become common practice in many fields, considering citations from multiple versions of the same article as separate links double-counts them during citation analysis introducing bias against articles with one version. Using OpenAIRE's deduplication algorithm we aim to alleviate issues like this. [2/3] 👇

BIPDB v.10 (CC-BY) is here: https://zenodo.org/record/8256943
For the first time, we calculated the impact indicators (citation count, popularity, influence, etc.) on a network where citations from multiple versions of the same article are considered only once. To do so, we exploited OpenAIRE's deduplication algorithm (https://tinyurl.com/oairededup): our citations were gathered from the #OpenAIREGraph & in the constructed network all versions of the same research product were merged into one node.

If you ever feel like you've made a huge, embarrassing mistake that you'll never recover from, remember day someone representing the major education trade paper of the UK signed off on this #GraphCrime:

BUT I did find a technique that worked well so I didn't end up with a container of little rubbery bits.

It involved first cold-rinsing the cut-up pieces, and then massaging *baking soda* into them!! (And then whatever your marinade ingredients). Once I fried them up in several batches, it amazingly WORKED!

It's from a recipe for American Chinese takeout, and that's the texture it has. Tender little bits. I am astounded.

Often when I post something about my research on software teams somebody asks in a hostile kinda way if I even code (I do but I don't answer that question from strangers directly on principle). Now that I'm writing a paper on management I look forward to seeing if people ask if I even manage.

First time I've seen this:
"[publisher] will donate 5% of your [APC] fee to the charity of your choice. You will be asked for your charity preference on the order form you complete."

I dislike this. If the cost of running the journal requires an APC, fine. But why should you build in a 5% donation to my favorite charity? Plus there's the extra administrative costs to do this. How do funders feel about their grant funds being spent on APCs with charitable kickbacks?
