MDPI's flagship journal IJERPH just got de-listed by Web of Science/Clarivate! WOW! 🤯
This is huge news. IJERPH is 2nd only to Scientific Reports in terms of total article output. IJERPH no longer has an impact factor, no longer in Web of Science.
Will pen a quick post in a bit, but for now, see Paolo Crosetto's thread on birdsite: https://twitter.com/PaoloCrosetto/status/1638526088908353537?s=20
"the very fact that we need a central, private, for-profit authority and we all live by their word is compete madness on our part."

Lemurs, glazed stoneware by @hunchbacksociety
"For this work and other efforts to try to curb the spread of H.I.V. in the Nashville region, Ms. Binkley and her colleagues have relied heavily on federal grant money. So they were stunned when Tennessee’s health commissioner announced earlier this year that the state would no longer accept $8.8 million in federal grant money, which for more than a decade has been distributed among nonprofit groups, county health departments and health care organizations."

When a fish beats its tail, it produces vortices in the water that other fish could take advantage of to save energy while swimming. https://elifesciences.org/articles/86807?utm_source=mastodon&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=organic_insights
Pff... wake me up when @kevinng & @victoralab have sequence Beethoven's germinal centers - it may reveal the biological roots of the light zone/dark zone motif opening the 5th.

New preprint: complex systems tend to be stable if interactions between components are sufficiently homogeneous. We show that key features of biol. systems, non-local interactions and intrinsic noise, destabilize them and facilitate pattern formation https://arxiv.org/abs/2303.12611
'Doadrio, de 64 años, entró al museo de voluntario cuando tenía 18, para organizar los miles de botes con peces, poco después de la muerte del dictador Francisco Franco. “Había colecciones abandonadas desde 1936, llenas de moho, con las ratas por los pasillos. El museo ha cambiado radicalmente desde que entré”, celebra el biólogo.'
"I'm a fan of phenotypic assays in general - the idea of letting the cells tell me what's going on is more appealing than me trying to tell them (they don't listen very well). But that said, a bad phenotypic assay is truly the worst of both worlds."

FT's @KuperSimon: "If we’re serious about keeping the planet liveable, we have to regulate & tax huge cars out of existence." #SUVs are: "not only awful for the climate, they’re also killing pedestrians, including children in driveways" https://www.ft.com/content/7612e3c0-0e10-4cfb-895d-40b2e5d083b9

"In terms of acceptance delay, we find, again, that papers from Asia, Africa, and South America spend more time compared to other papers published in the same journal and the same year. Regression analysis of US-based papers reveals that Black authors suffer from the greatest delay."

In this episode we caught up with Paul Shiels from the University of Glasgow to talk about his work on the effects of environmental cues on the #epigenome and #longevity. #epigenetics #chromatin @epigenetics

'No manifesto, os subscritores mostram-se “publicamente contra esta proposta”, já que “significaria abdicar definitivamente do ensino superior como serviço público universal e tendencialmente gratuito”. Consideram ainda que “as propinas são um obstáculo à democratização do acesso ao ensino superior”, rejeitando um “modelo de financiamento baseado no princípio de utilizador-pagador”.

Eye color genes are critical for retinal health: study in @PLOS Genetics by Elisabeth Knust, Director Emerita @mpicbg, and Sarita Hebbar. They investigated how four Drosophila genes, known to control eye color, are essential for health of retinal tissue. https://www.mpi-cbg.de/news-outreach/news-media/article/eye-color-genes-are-critical-for-retinal-health #genetics

Just woke up from my first ever conference nightmare. Couldn't find my room, had to wear mismatched socks, had to leave my kid unattended, lost my glove, my session was in a different day than I thought, arrived too late to it, moderator was giving me the evil eye, and my poster had printed wrong so it was an A4 size with tiny tiny letters and figures just at the top. BUT the poster format was kind of brilliant. The poster was attached to a stick and then all presenters walked around, waving their poster around like a flag. Much more effective in attracting attention I am sure. We should change this. #Petition #Posters #CognitiveScience #Neuroscience #VisionScience #CognitivePsychology #Conferences #VSS2023 #ECVP2023
