I am done with Amazon. Not convenient. Drugs, TV, purchases, but this fucker is not going to ruin my country with my blessings and support.

You have got to step up and ween yourself.

The billionaires do not have our back.

@mbeisen Huge fraction of highly cited papers in Nat Comm are physics, chemistry and virology. Most of biology, not so much. I guess the 7.7% acceptance gets you higher impact in some fields than others (or just more citations).

[Sacha Nelson @SachaBNelson]

Ok got it. First black woman. Sorry.

@mayaaking
You, others celebrate Jenifer Mclellan: 1st Black VA congress-rep. I celebrate also, but how ??? John Mercer Langston (1889-91 ) OK, reconstruction--don't count; Robert Scott (1993-5)
Aston D. McEachin (2017-2019) (!Held seat before!!!)
Missing something?

@FeliciaCMcLin88 First black woman, I think you got this right but not most of your collt

@ebennettlab A donor once told us "I don't want to support basic science, I want to support the advanced stuff"

@mbeisen You didn't need one to succeed in our search. Maybe we're just not "exciting" and "important" enough.

@RalserLab @ASAPbio_ @biorxiv @medrxiv @mitpress The core issue here is: what do you do about a bad review following a paper. Bad reviews happen. But the answer isn't hiding the review or suppressing it; the answer is having the debate out in the open. More discussion, more transparency=better science.

[Sacha Nelson @SachaBNelson]

@neuronJoy 1) Pvalb's highly activity dependent
2) peptides among the most abundantly expressed genes, even higher than Ca2+ binding proteins (BP)
3) Some (e.g. thalamic neurons) probably on edge of which Ca2+ BP is optimal for kinetics/saturation, express multiple or switch across lineages

@bita137 @ShanskyLab @mnitabach SFN should state the facts here

[Sacha Nelson @SachaBNelson]

@deniswirtz A key question is the age distribution of the new cases. As locations of hot spots change, the most vulnerable may be better isolating.

[Sacha Nelson @SachaBNelson]

@Neurosarda Congratulations Daniela! Happy Mother's Day

@deniswirtz @JohnsHopkins @HopkinsEngineer @JHUArtsSciences @HopkinsMedicine @JohnsHopkinsSPH @JohnsHopkinsEPI @JHU_HWPDA @PSOC_JHU @JohnsHopkinsMMI Any discussion of the effect of hoods on safe distances?

[Sacha Nelson @SachaBNelson]

"The time for the academic community to act in coordination is now." How about we start with making AAAS journals like Science OA.

In pursuit of open science, open access is not enough https://t.co/kRltFF9hos

@WiringTheBrain Ace-2 is X-linked; may explain sex differences in severe COVID-19; but still clinical trials of sex hormones; lots of talk about who smokes more.

There should be a scientific response to Pompeo

[Sen. Bernie Sanders @SenSanders]

There are legitimate questions we must ask about the Chinese government’s inability to contain the virus. But Pompeo’s incitement is a blatant effort to distract us from questions about Trump’s own disastrous failure. https://t.co/ucuic8qB2G

[LoogerLab @LoogerL]

Hey Twitter, I realize that the world is burning and that very little is at all certain about how the coming months and years shake out. But I am excited to announce that the lab is moving to UC San Diego whenever it is safe & responsible to do so. We will be mostly in the
1/6

@TrumanLab @ReviewCommons @AcademicChatter Paying reviewers risks concentrating publishing with the deepest pockets. Granting agencies should recognize reviewing as a critical part of research: allow budgeted time, include as criterion for "Investigator."
