Overcoming publication and dissemination bias in infectious diseases clinical trials

If a trial is done, it should be published! Incredible statistic 👇

From the bad place (come on @miguelgf ...), Miguel Godinho & Claudio Sunkel.

"We found that pDCs express the IgA-specific Fc receptor, FcαR , and there was a striking ability of IgA1 autoantibodies to synergize with IgG in RNA-containing ICs to generate robust pDC IFNα responses."

#Introduction

This account has been prompted by the #Twittermigration but only in the sense that I am hoping that there might be a great science community taking shape here: I never really felt drawn to Twitter for talking about my research, but I could see the great potential (among the shoutiness..) during Covid.

I work on human rationality. A lot of my research is about measuring argument quality. And, as a cognitive scientist, I dabble in #cognitive psychology, #philosophy, and #AI

@ScienceMagazine The 🔑 question is whether #COVID19Vaccines with an updated variant would induce de novo responses to that strain or if only recall responses against shared epitopes would be mounted Variant-adapted #COVID19 booster ?

#IDMastodon @ScienceMagazine In a new #SciencePerspective, @florian_krammer and Ali Ellebedy discuss the challenges and concerns surrounding the development of #COVID19 boosters and argue that current vaccines should be specifically tailored to combat future #SARSCoV2 variants.

"Importantly, being an author is not only about credit but also about accountability. Typically, an author will be accountable for the quality and integrity of their own contribution, but also for the work as a whole by ensuring that questions arising post-publication are investigated thoroughly and that materials and data remain available."

Such an excellent & imo important paper. It was submitted to Cell in Aug 2022. Not published until Oct 2023. Even if it explains only a small % of Long Covid cases, it’s sad that any patients who would benefit from serotonin-targeted therapy had to wait all that time… https://www.cell.com/cell/fulltext/S0092-8674(23)01034-6

@cyrilpedia And they likely claim they can sniff out products of an LLM with their eyes closed.

"A neuroscientist whose studies undergird an experimental Alzheimer’s drug was “reckless” in his failure to keep or provide original data, an offense that “amounts to significant research misconduct,” an investigation by his university has concluded."

Science in Portugal never recovered from the Troika. According this piece in Expresso (a credible newspaper) public investment has now regressed to 1991 levels.

"Os números são inequívocos: se em 2010 a despesa pública em investigação e desenvolvimento chegou a 0,54% do PIB, em 2023 não ultrapassa os 0,32% — um valor inferior ao registado em 1991 e que representa menos de metade da média atual da OCDE."
