Evolution of the median time under review of articles with female first authors, male first authors, female corresponding authors, and male corresponding authors.

#Women are underrepresented in academia, especially in #STEMM fields, top institutions & in senior positions. Analysis of millions of biomed & life science articles reveal that female-authored articles spend longer under review than comparable male-authored ones @plosbiology.org 🧪 plos.io/4658FZN

Miles de científicos hinchan su currículum con estudios autopublicados que cuestan millones de euros de dinero público Un análisis de 100.000 números especiales de revistas académicas revela que uno de cada ocho está lleno de artículos de autobombo del propio editor, sobre todo en la editorial MDPI

Hoy en @elpais.com @manuelansede.bsky.social se hace eco de un estudio depositado en #arxiv que analiza la proliferación de números especiales en algunas revistas científicas en las que el editor que coordina, hasta en un 33% de los casos, es también autor de un artículo.

Our new paper (with @biotay.bsky.social) is out and on the cover story of @currentbiology.bsky.social !!!! Veronika, a Carinthian mountain cow flexibly uses a “multi-purpose tool” to scratch herself. A video and more information will follow in the comments.

1/ Women scheduled surgery after being told they had rare BRCA1 variants.
The genetic test was wrong.

University of Exeter analyzed 50,000 samples to find out how often this happens.

The results should worry anyone who's downloaded their 23andMe raw data.

Writing Resources Writing is a huge part of any career in science, and for many writers – no, for most writers – it’s a daunting challenge. But it’s not a challenge that you have to tackle alone. That’s a lesson I w…

Your occasional reminder that I keep a curated list of resources for scientific writers that I find helpful - books, blogs, software, all kinds of things. Here it is:

Reminded me of that quote from The Office: "Apparently, in the medicine community, negative means good, which makes absolutely no sense" 😂

🧬💥 Do the genetics that make you develop a disease also help you survive it? Not much.

Our new study in Nature Genetics including 9 disease and 7 biobanks shows:

• Susceptibility variants ≠ survival
• PRSs for onset weak at predicting progression
• Lifespan PRS predicts survival better
