Tots són especials, però segur que tu també tens un ximpanzé preferit. Ens expliques qui és i per què?

Major academic publishers are getting sued for unlawfully appropriating billions of dollars.
Prof. Lucina Qazi Uddin, a neuroscientist at UCLA, has sued these six academic publishers Elsevier, Wolters Kluwer, Wiley, Taylor & Francis, Sage, and Springer Nature.
The lawsuit claims that these publishers violate antitrust laws on the following three grouds:
1. The publishers have colluded to fix the price of peer review at zero.
2. These publishers agree to not compete with each by making it obligatory for researchers to submit their work to only one journal at a time.
3. These publishers prohibit scholars from sharing scientific advancements while they are under peer review, which can take up to a year.
Here's a comparison of the publishers' revenue and what they pay authors and reviewers
Elsevier: $3.9 billion
Springer Nature: $2 billion
Wolters Kluwer: $1.6 billion
Wiley: $1.8 billion
Taylor & Francis: $800 million
Sage: $500 million
They pay:
Authors: $0
Peer reviewers: $0
Lamentablement els acosos en llocs remots o aïllats continuen i els perpetuadors i aliats semblen tenir impunitat total. Per una millor educació de gènere i millors protocols anti-acos, que els que hi ha brillen per la seva ineficàcia.
Esta es la investigación completa de un año, con la documentación y últimos datos, sobre la desaparición de Carmen en el “García del Cid” y el acoso en el CSIC.
Ojalá os guste, ojalá sirva
GRACIAS por haberme acompañado tanto estos días

Data centers are draining energy and water, while Big Tech hides the damage with ‘creative accounting’. With power grids strained and energy security at risk, governments must act now, demanding full transparency on emissions and AI’s environmental impact. https://t.co/Y1xPpLbplh
A student asked me a question: I am sometimes told that it is “easier” for me in STEM as a student from an UR background because of all the grants available to me. How do I respond to this?
I wanted to expand on my answer a bit here…
1/5 Redes de burbujas como herramientas
Han estudiado las redes de burbujas que usan las ballenas jorobadas para alimentarse en solitario de krill. Dado el control que tienen de la red, los autores argumentan que deben considerarse herramientas.

Chez certains oiseaux, le stress prénatal se transmet jusqu'à 3 générations, même sans exposition répétée. Selon cette étude, les descendants présentent des comportements altérés, comme la néophobie.
