My manuscript has been in peer review with Marine Biology @Mar_Biology for 268 days. This is the median time it takes to gestate a human. #PeerReviewCrisis
The best scicomm event of the year @pintofscienceIE is back & the call for speakers is open til Friday! ⏰
It'd be great to see speakers from *all* institutes in Galway this year, so if you work / study @MarineInst@uniofgalway@ATU_GalwayCity @MfrcATU etc, consider applying!
Loyal employees are targeted by managers for exploitation. The targeting of these loyal workers is driven by the assumption that loyal works are readily willing to make personal sacrifices.
The same thing happens in reverse: workers who agree (versus refuse) to be exploited in the workplace acquire stronger reputations for loyalty.
The relationship between loyalty and exploitation have the potential to create a vicious circle of suffering. Leaders and organizations should REWARD loyal workers rather than exploit them!

I gave a talk on my PhD work yday & people seemed really interested in these 🦈
The Irish for the birdbeak dogfish is "fíogach éansocach" 🐦🐕🐟
It's a pretty literal translation, fíogach = dogfish, éan = bird, socach = beaked in marine animals like in 🐋
@DrJoseMFarinas @MfrcATU Sad to know you can't make it but we can catch up another time and I can give you my 3min version of the talk 😎 happy lecturing!
A cat co-authored a scientific paper in 1975, when his owner, a physicist named Jack H. Hetherington, decided to add him as a second author to avoid changing the plural pronouns in his manuscript. The cat’s name was Chester, and he was given the pen name F.D.C. Willard, which stood for Felix Domesticus, Chester. Willard was also the name of Chester’s father. The paper was about atomic behavior at different temperatures, and it was published in Physical Review Letters, a prestigious physics journal.
Chester’s co-authorship was revealed when Hetherington sent some signed copies of the paper to his friends and colleagues, and included the cat’s paw prints as his signature. The story became widely known and amused many people in the scientific community. Chester even published another paper as the sole author in 1980, in a French popular science magazine. He died in 1982, but he is still remembered as the first and only cat to have authored a published scientific paper.
This is not enough. PhD students have a central role in running universities. This increase will not solve the problem, it feels like a slap on the wrist. We have warned the minister, universities etc. now is time to strike. @PWO_Ireland@OrlaFeely
