Writing is hard. Writing concisely is especially hard yet it’s a crucial skill for scientists to develop.
This past winter, I wrote a paper to help: “Simple rules for concise scientific writing”
It’s now out and #OpenAccess: https://t.co/5ROg4Y30Pu

EBRAINS now a recommended #data#sharing service for Nature Scientific Data
For the neurosciences, the new @EBRAINS_eu data services have now been added to the list of the journal's recommended repositories.

Thanks to all the volunteers from around the world we keep a line list of the current COVID-19 pandemic. A full description of methods used are now published in @ScientificData (thanks also to @alhufton for rapid turnaround). https://t.co/4iu5mIxq5c Data: https://t.co/UYN3q64UZR
Just had a @zoom_us meeting with my 80+ year old parents, for their first time ever, my son had 🎻 lessons online, my kids do their homework diligently on their chromebook at home. Only digital choir reversal failed (but was good fun). We'll get there 💪 #coronavirus
To support the rapid and wide dissemination of research during the coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak, Springer Nature authors can now use our Research Data Support service for COVID-19 data at no cost. https://t.co/YRkDhaDQRS
How a network of data curators can unlock the tremendous reuse value of research data - from @oclc@ifylawwt#datacurationnetwork https://t.co/W3q8rR8qrh
I am delighted that today we are announcing that newly submitted papers to @nature will be published with peer review reports & authors' rebuttals upon their acceptance #peerreview#transparentreview https://t.co/XRPYv9Ztqb
Check it out: @anbh66 at @ration_carbon uses a recent blog of mine, about the carbon burden of different protein sources, to illustrate how difficult it is for consumers to understand the carbon footprint of purchases https://t.co/sdN9SwjXlv
Pleased to join the editorial board of @ScientificData
It's an open-access Nature journal that publishes descriptions of scientifically valuable datasets. (This is, as the kids say, very much my jam 👩🔬)
Get your data out there! All well-curated FAIR datasets welcome
Whatever the motivation, sharing genomic data broadens its impact: “Almost all of our most-cited papers are supported by browser tracks.” https://t.co/mWL7NmXcfb
Data sharing grants!
Data curation is not easy neither is the labour required free. That's why @kaggle is giving away small grants ($2k-$5k) explicitly to help academic researchers make their data open. Apply here: https://t.co/sXomT3xCHA. Please RT.
Just found out that I have a profile on @plant_pathology Research Journal of Plant Pathology and that I have reviewed (accepted) 4 papers for them. This is all FAKE. I never heard of these papers until today.
Tomorrow @grace_baynes, @Beck_Grant and Bettina Goerner will be speaking at the STM Innovations Seminar. The theme for Day 1 is 'Driven by data – moving open science forward'.
