Nice to hear a professor from my old university, @utrgv, on national media: https://t.co/zvml4Dtjqw

Headlines are the most read part of an news article. I studied news stories about a scientific journal article

ZERO headlines correctly stated what the new finding in the journal article was.

#incentives
In the early 1900s, Germany would sometimes pay scientists *by the page* of text produced. The consequences were exactly what you would expect

I think the plaintiffs have an uphill struggle to make their case.

@acapellascience The story of N-rays, a compelling case of how easy it is to fill yourself.

@Hoosierflyman Have I ever mentioned how jealous I am of this work? So good.

Preprint just dropped!🎙️We discover molecular mechanisms of the excruciatingly painful sting of the Scarlet Velvet Ant (Dasymutilla occidentalis). Title: "Multiple mechanisms of action of an extremely painful venom." 🧵 1/N https://t.co/FDslgqBylW

Things I loved in Space: 1999

The Eagles. My favourite spaceship.

The theme music (both seasons!).

Ep. 8, “Dragon’s Domain.”

Catherine Schell.

“This episode” teaser (stolen years later by the Battlestar Galactica reboot).

Fun stuff in an often clunky show.

Well, this is just peachy. Companies are posting jobs they have no intention of filling just to pressure their existing employees.

@oldenfish Excellent work here! I wish I’d written it! 😉

Making a lasting mark: Some journals have article that just keep getting cited for years or decades.

But that average longevity of article citations in a journal doesn't bear much relationship to journal's Impact Factor.

@J33P4 @ctmurphy1 @jdpereira There’s no guarantee an editor faced with an unsolved authorship dispute would accept a “correction” instead of retracting the paper (of which there are definitely examples).

[Zen Faulkes @DoctorZen]

@SvobodaLab @ctmurphy1 @jdpereira In researching author disputes, I was unable to find clear cases where institutions arbitrated authorship disputes: https://t.co/qb2VaysiA9

[Zen Faulkes @DoctorZen]

@jdpereira @ctmurphy1 In researching a paper on authorship disputes, the overwhelming impression is that editors do NOT want to be involved in disputes and will throw it back to authors to work it out.

(Situations like this are one reason I wrote the paper.)

@jetblue Essex the a reason why your automated emails lack an “Unsubscribe” link? Every other company I have ever dealt with provides this option.

@outersanctum01 Probably too late for the pod, but any chance of a review somewhere?
