- New research published! I wanted to write about this, because I think the DE-Score *might* be the thing I'm proudest of so far! All my career I have dreamt of finding something so clean. The DE-Score is a way to tell when amino acid data stops being informative. 1/7 academic.oup.com/sysbio/advan...

- The article on the Guardian I posted yesterday got a reply by several scientists. This should be welcomed, and in general they do not deny the issues previously raised, but instead are worried about the public perception on the risk that microplastics pose. 1/🧵
- 🎓⚕️🧪🔬📰 The way we do science today is very vulnerable to clickbait and sensationalist headlines Remember the microplastics in your brain, in male testes and in your bloodstream? It didn't make sense with what we knew, but it made great entertainment. #BadScience www.theguardian.com/environment/...
- Reposted by Germán Bonilla-RossoNew from me: It is not just that the US is experiencing democratic backsliding. Authoritarianism has emerged more quickly than in other benchmark countries. This graph from John Burn-Murdoch sums it up. 🧵 donmoynihan.substack.com/p/autocracy-...

- Don Lemon is not an investigative journalist. He was not arrested to silence him He is black. He was arrested because he is a black public figure. Being critic of Trump is an excuse. The Trump regime has gone full facist. Stop treating them like good-will debaters before the mass murdering.

- Reposted by Germán Bonilla-RossoThis is part of where your APCs go when you publish in MDPI and Frontiers. They use that money to buy more influence. Until funders, WoS, take meaningful action, they will continue to use muzzle velocity to overcome criticisms.
- Plus, MDPI/Frontiers spend big money to convince governments they're not just legit, but leaders. Frontiers just sponsored WEF Davos, MDPI signed a deal with German national science agency. 🇩🇪+MDPI: www.timeshighereducation.com/news/germany...

- A reevaluation of 50y of research in Drosophila immunity, led by Bruno Lemaitre, finds heaps of irreproducibility. Likely linked to the fact our academic institutions value shock over robustness. "high-impact journals and top-ranked institutions are more likely to publish challenged claims"
- 1/ A field-wide audit of reproducibility in Drosophila immunity The ReproSci project assessed how many claims from 400 papers had been verified by later research, and, in an accompanying study, tested those that remained uncorroborated. 🔗 elifesciences.org/reviewed-pre...

- Nope. Cancel all plans.
- Our scientific (and democratic) institutions only work if all the participants engage in good will. We need to set up guardrails to deal with those engaging in bad faith... like nazis, eugenicists, MAGAs, russian trolls, corrupt academics and paper-mill publishers like MDPI, Hindawi and Frontiers.

- Reposted by Germán Bonilla-RossoThe lesson of history is that tyrants cannot be appeased. Appeasement only feeds their insatiable hunger for power. Tyrants prey on people who feel unsafe and vulnerable. But without mass submission, a tyrant is powerless. Remember this.
