Many scholars are leaving Twitter for #Mastodon, a public, decentralized alternative, impervious to private take-over:

https://www.science.org/content/article/musk-reshapes-twitter-academics-ponder-taking-flight

Scholarly organizations are already supporting this migration:

https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-023-00486-3

and

https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.7643817

There are analogous solutions for another public good in private hands: journals. There are even levers the scholarly community could pull to incentivize an analogous migration:

What are we waiting for?

Looking forward to @dbssocietyorg in Grenoble – w/ @VVV_Cologne @ClementHamani @AA_Kuhn @rubensgcury @HSiebner and many not on twitter (see program below).

⏰ Abstract Deadline: March 17th
✅ Conference: June 22-24th

It's here! "A Student's Guide to Open Science" has landed on my doorstep. A perfectly sized pocket guide to the replication crisis and #openscience reform. I am so proud of what this book represents ✨

A brief overview...🧵

Nice piece: “Stop the peer-review treadmill: I want to get off”. I think the days of pre-publication peer review are already numbered. To maintain it there needs to be better incentives - and I don’t mean payment! Recognition of peer review activity as a scholarly contribution would help a lot.

"Transient receptor potential vanilloid 1 (TRPV1), a receptor for capsaicin and noxious heat, has been one of the most compelling targets for analgesics. However, systemic inhibition of TRPV1 is an impractical approach as a pain killer, since systemic antagonism induces hyperthermia. Two articles in this issue of the JCI report phenotypes from separate, rare missense mutations of human TRPV1."

The Smith Lab is interviewing postdocs! Please reach out to me with a CV, cover letter, and references if you are interested! Details here: https://biology.ucsd.edu/jobs/postdoc.html

This is the second YouTube/podcast of an hours length I had the patience to hear and watch entirely. (The first was Chris Frith with Tevi Naidu.)

I’m hiring! This is a good fit for someone looking for some research experience in between undergrad and med school or grad school. The research is on sexual harassment in biomedical research. Please share with folks who might be interested!
