Predatory journals entrap unsuspecting scientists. Here's how universities can support researchers
"Ventura divulgou factos falsos com o conhecimento de o serem e fê-lo de forma deliberada e apta a enganar as pessoas e - desta vez - com a agravante de ter feito passar os conteúdos que divulgou por notícias da Renascença e do PÚBLICO. E a divulgação que fez foi massiva. Isto merece tutela penal."

'The sriracha shortage is hardly the worst crop crisis that’s being fueled by climate change. For years, Michigan cherries have been suffocating in too-high temperatures, while Florida citrus have been obliterated by hurricanes; India’s wheat crops have roasted, while rice around the world has been double-teamed by floods and heat waves. But to now see peppers in peril is its own special burn.'

I want to highlight the work that went into the revision of the manuscript, crediting the contribution of lab members and collaborators, as well as give an overview of the Review Commons process we used (see https://www.reviewcommons.org/) 2/23
I've not been here much lately, but here's a bit more about our paper just out in the Journal of Cell Biology, “Presynapses contain distinct actin nanostructures” (Twitter trained me to come up with short titles 🤏 and long threads 🧵, which are also doable in Mastodon I hope) 1/23

“He could actually read a room and understand how to make it a meaningful experience,” says Hesse, recalling that 1966 Monterey jazz festival performance. “From the first note, he had the people in the palm of his hand and then took them on a journey throughout the entire set.”
As the Beatles would suggest, come together, right now.
"Research on the origin and early evolution of life therefore comprises two areas of understanding that in practice make little contact with one another (Fig. 1). We understand some of the chemistry and geochemical settings that could have led to an origin of life and we can also infer details about early organisms through the most ancient protein families. In practice, however, these two fields of research remain largely disconnected."
'A recently identified autoimmune disorder called vacuoles, E1 enzyme, X-linked, autoinflammatory, and somatic (VEXAS) provides insight into the synergistic effects of genetic perturbations and stress responses leading to autoinflammation.'

#OTD 15 August 1892 Louis de Broglie was born. He postulated the wave nature of electrons & suggested that all matter has wave properties, today a central mechanic in quantum mechanics. De Broglie won the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1929. He was the first high-level scientist to call for establishment of a multi-national laboratory, which became the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN).

1) Don't ban books
2) Don't waste educators' time with book bans
3) Don't make decisions about books without reading them
4) Don't fall for OpenAI's interface: ChatGPT is not the kind of thing you can sensibly ask for information
