@GlauHerzer @PhDVoice @PostdocVoice Not really... but kinda hahah. The first was in engineering and the second was in Environmental Sciences. I know it was a lot of work, but I'm glad I did it. I wasn't happy with the idea of having a career in the field of engineering.

@BainesCiara @TuulSeppLab @unitartu Congratulations Dr Ciara!! 🤓😍

[Ciência USP @cienciausp]

Quanto menores os fragmentos de plástico, maior o dano ambiental

Pesquisas realizadas no Instituto de Biociências (IB) da USP indicam riscos de partículas de material sintético para animais de água doce

Elsevier is losing editors

[Dr. Jessica Taylor @DrJessTaylor]

A reminder that Elsevier made $10.5 BILLION in 2022 from selling your academic journals and articles behind paywalls, and make more profit than Amazon, Google, and Apple every year…

And paid the academics who wrote the articles $0
And paid the reviewers of the articles $0

@LucasGQueiroz @Mathieu_Ferron Não tem como ser mais verdadeiro que isso! (Na verdade, alguns pedem pra gente comprar uma bicicleta nova)

[Luiz-Eduardo Del-Bem @dudelbem]

Metrics like number of papers, citations, H-index, international collaborations, and journal impact factor can be easily faked, yet we still use them to judge scientists and make decisions. Time to rethink how we evaluate scientific work?

[Bárbara Rani-Borges @barbararaniborg]

100% true!

Somedays I wish I ran experiments that were a bit more…everything
