Transparent peer review, steampunk version:
"In the early nineteenth century, French journals such as the Annals de Chimie sometimes included essays evaluating recent papers released by the Academie des Sciences. In 1831, inspired by those French essays, the English polymath William Whewell (1794–1866) made a proposal to his fellow members of the Royal Society of London: that papers submitted to the Philosophical Transactions should be sent to two Fellows, who would then write a report about the paper. The signed report would be published in the Royal Society’s new journal, the Proceedings of the Royal Society of London."

Great to hear that so many biologists are continuing to join biologists.social. See this nice update from @preLights

I like it here. As a controlled experiment* I posted our most recent preprint on here and also on twitter. We got lots more 'empty' engagment (likes and retweets) on there, but all the meaningful engagement and discussion was on here.
*retrospectively branded as an experiment but actually just a shameful lapse in willpower

Absolutely outstanding piece from @micefearboggis on the strange year when the climate broke ...
A multitude of possibly unsatisfying answers

400 economists are listing their Mastodon handle on their RePEc profile:
@richardsever The need for new forms of research credit/assessment beyond the journal article are a frequent topic in our discussions on the EMBO Podcast, most recently in the episode with Pavel Tomancak
Once more unto the breach, Richard @richardsever
"Addiction to journal brand and Impact Factor has led us to conflate quality, impact, and trust in research. We now have the opportunity to adopt a new approach with better trust signals, in which judgments of an article’s merits are not made at a single point in time"

@schoppik when I glanced at this I thought you'd written "I too brought my now machers"
Spotted in Chiado, a genre I was not familiar with: the protest azulejo.

Finally! For years I have used some of my talks to warn of disappearing #data. Now there is a study quantifying the risk:
"Disappearing #repositories -- taking an #infrastructure perspective on the long-term availability of #researchdata"
