Thrilled to share our latest findings on how PEI modifications and pH impact DNA packaging in polyplexes for gene delivery! Congratulations Nasir and Dinar. @MacroJrnls_ACS@ukychem https://t.co/CT319RAldK
Can't help but notice my scientific spam emails are getting more and more aggressive over the last year. Apparently that journal I never heard of really wants me to reply back about their special topic issue on something I don't do.
New preprint of our work on how the internal packaging of DNA within polyplexes is affected by polymer modifications and pH and its implications for gene delivery @DeRoucheyLab@ukychem

New findings from @DeRoucheyLab examines the role of polycations in protecting condensed DNA against free radical oxidation revealing a complex interplay between both steric effects and dynamic properties of the polycations. @JPhysChem@ukychem

To save going through multiple clicks...here's the first sentence of the introduction:
Certainly, here is a possible introduction for your topic: Lithium-metal batteries are promising candidates for ...
How does this get online? What does this say about the reviewers and Elsevier editors that such an obvious issue is the first line of the introduction?
I should add beyond being a great person Adrian was also an amazing scientist. A pioneer for research on molecular interactions between biological macromolecules. And a world expert in membrane biophysics and on the subject of vdW interactions in soft matter.
Very sad to learn a former mentor passed last week. V. Adrian Parsegian led the Laboratory on Physical and Structural Biology at NICHD/NIH when I was there and was always a joy to be around.
I look forward to a future where students use AI to do their homework and we use AI to grade that homework. Much more efficient than having professors grade homework students copied from chegg.
I'll post one more of these. I guess if open access is going to cost a couple grand, this is one way to pay for it. I'm confused though why last position (usually the PI) is the cheapest of the lot.
This site (@author_for_sale) is great and trying to bring attention to the fact that people are buying authorships. Yet another way to game a system that rewards quantity over quality.
Also someone is going to need to explain to me how all the people/institutions involved didn't know something was going on for years. He was pumping out 50-70 papers/yr for multiple years.
Science really needs to discuss rewarding quality over quantity. Can't imagine the shenanigans required to publish 1 manuscript every 37 hours in 2023.
