Scientific publishing needs to change. In a new preprint, HHMI President Erin O'Shea and Bodo Stern argue that the incentives are misaligned. Researchers should be evaluated on what they choose to share, not what journals select. I’m proud that @hhmi_science is leading the way. Read the preprint here: https://t.co/CV1iiwgIvY

@MolecularCell @jules_stef Congrats Julia, and the team!

It’s incredible how ChatGPT gently reminds me of my postdoc clock and gently nudges me to apply for faculty while depicting my time at the bench.

Prompt: “make a caricature of me and my work based on all the information you have about me”

🚨 “Controversial Refereeing Casts Shadow Over the Match”

In a dramatic turn, a player who should have been sent off for a second yellow remained on the field and scored just minutes later, igniting heated debate. Meanwhile, in a similar situation, a Galatasaray player received a second yellow and was sent off, raising serious questions about the consistency of refereeing decisions. This apparent double standard has made the match a focal point for scrutiny and criticism in European football circles.”
