Wild Fish

Scientist, observing + commenting on shenanigans. Saying what everyone else is thinking.

@biolumiJEFFence @450Movement Looks like mixing up 2 questions. (1) is reviewing as well as writing part of normal scientific contribution (Yes, imo) (2) should publishers make money from normal work of scientists? (idk; seems complex). But they are 2 different questions.

In this new Position Paper (@BiolBulletin), we submit that biologists likely have been, and are still, conducting ‘accidental’ ocean acidification / carbonate chemistry experiments in marine labs. https://t.co/c93LMgtAyp

@Dr_TGG @biolumiJEFFence @450Movement OK. I am not trying to offend n e 1, just saying how I see it. I wish u well 2.

[Wild Fish @WiLD_FiSh_]

@Dr_TGG @biolumiJEFFence @450Movement Possibly - just never seen it as an issue that’s all. Feel like people making into one when it never has been.

[Wild Fish @WiLD_FiSh_]

@Dr_TGG @biolumiJEFFence @450Movement I see it all as part of my job - I don’t distinguish between my paid time and own time. This could be part of the issue. I can see it both ways however being paid for reviews seems alien to me and doing them 4 free in my own time, well I have never had a problem with it.

[Wild Fish @WiLD_FiSh_]

@Wild_Fish__ Yes - many reasons why I did this way. Mainly don’t want to damage lab members by association. Advised them to keep out of ‘debate’. A sad time for science; freely make accusations in @nature no less and many jump on; question it and get dismissed as a troll.

Blocked by @Timothy_D_Clark !!! Why?? 🤣🤣🤣Pathetic #stifledesent

[Wild Fish @WiLD_FiSh_]

@Wild_Fish__ @biolumiJEFFence @450Movement Can’t you see any benefits for your scientific development from reviewing other’s work and seeing responses to your reviews? Issue of publishers making money is different and needs separating from scientists/academics contributing + self development

[Wild Fish @WiLD_FiSh_]

@biolumiJEFFence @ClarkGRichards @450Movement Why?

[Wild Fish @WiLD_FiSh_]

@Wild_Fish__ I have simply been asking questions! Authors obvs don’t like them...

[Wild Fish @WiLD_FiSh_]

@biolumiJEFFence @ClarkGRichards @450Movement Then don’t do it! There are plenty of academics happy to do it for free - it will actually be in their job descriptions at many places.

[Wild Fish @WiLD_FiSh_]

No comment from @Timothy_D_Clark ...he blocked me instead.

”Compounding this problem, if our p-value is high and so does not reject the null hypothesis this cannot be interpreted as the null being true; rather, we are left with an ‘open verdict’ “....any comment ⁦@Timothy_D_Clark⁩ ? https://t.co/i0hIs2Y1Jq

@fish_scientist @Timothy_D_Clark OK thanks for clarification! 👍

[Wild Fish @WiLD_FiSh_]

Blocked by @invivoexvivo Ben Speers-Roesch! Why?

[Wild Fish @WiLD_FiSh_]

@fish_scientist @CaitNewport Part of an elitist mindset that implies science can only be done at ‘top’ institutes by well funded researchers. Anyone else must be treated with suspicion apparently. Great we have these relatively inexperienced researchers will all the answers for us!
