German scientist interested in the immune systems of tiny and large creatures (and yes, that includes us humans :D )

@mbeisen The laws of nature do not care who rules ... thus our approach to report facts will not change. But the thought that we can compete with professional lobbyists for public/political ears is naive - we need to consider professional help for that task.

@PabloVidalRibas Not just you ... at the core are the numerical evaluation schemes that became pervasive ... a lot of efforts could be saved if promotion committees would actually review the science instead of outsourcing to anonymous reviewers for h-factors et al ...

Can you spot the problem in this figure?

@DrSalinasLab Well - the current tokens are not worth their face value (as you will provide a free promotion for their low-end journal by adding your name to the author list at a discounted price) ... thats why I suggest FrequentReviewerTokens that are valid in every journal in a family ...

[Sebastian Fugmann @sdfugmann]

@DrSalinasLab If someone on the search/promotion committer is only willing (or able?) to look up the IF associated with a journal, but not interested (or able) to read and evaluate the scientific content of a publication ... I'm always tempted to ask: How on earth did you get hired ?

@DrSalinasLab What is worse: those for whom the gate was opened (instead of having to jump) don't realize there was a gate ... and they proclaim that hard work is all that is needed for success ...

Excited to share our latest piece which is now in Biorxv "A niche-adapted brain microbiome in salmonids at homeostasis" https://t.co/SHHct1gU10 led by @Amir_Mani90, a 🧵

@DrSalinasLab Good reviewers are hard to find these days ... the grant proposal/manuscript inflation is taking its toll. But reviewers who don't feel comfortable judging data (and prefer to rely on other reviewers) should just recuse themselves.

Keeping one leg (or better one fin) in the word of vertebrate immunology. Check out the preprint of our short story on cytokines in the critically endangered Formosan landlocked salmon #Formosalandlockedsalmon https://t.co/kYAAQBgsSz

Incredibly excited to welcome Alice to our department!!!

A scientist using ChatGPT to write a manuscript is like a musician lip syncing on stage ... both think their time is too precious to be wasted on their audience #real_intelligence

[Sebastian Fugmann @sdfugmann]

What really bugs me are colleagues who constantly tweet, but cannot find a second to decline a request to review a manuscript :( #courteous_reviewer

@CterminiPhD If you get invited to a meeting for what you have to say, nobody will really care what you wear ...

@DrSalinasLab It means you're doing something right, as someone appears to feel uncomfortable about the presence of a successful women in science ;)
