In science (and in life I guess) every tool or method we use can be misused. It’s rarely the tool‘s fault that the user has ill intentions. Some are easier to misuse and therefore arguably could be changed, but nothing absolves us from our responsibility to be honest researchers.

For those, who want to know about Ramadan, here is a quick fact sheet. When you see your Muslim colleagues, you can wish them "Ramadan Kareem" or "Ramadan Mubarek" - and you don't need to act any differently around them. ing.org/resources/fo...

🫂 Être aidant proche, c’est soutenir quelqu’un qui compte. Mais qu’en est-il de sa propre santé mentale?
Dans "Leur recherche, notre santé", Pierre Gérain analyse les effets psychologiques de l’aide informelle, entre fardeau et possible effet protecteur.

I read a lot of project applications mostly from non-native speakers. I’m at the point where it feels refreshing to see spelling mistakes.

Using an LLM to write a research proposal will not give you a competitive edge, it will just make it harder for reviewers to identify the quality of your ideas behind all the shiny words. Don't make it harder for them to appreciate *your* work.
Great to see a position like this advertised
I do yoga-inspired stretches as often as I remember, with the goal of doing it once per hour. It helps me much more than fiddling around with my seating/standing arrangement, although I have my options (ball, chair, standing desk). For me, adding movement is helpful!

I grew up in a city with one of the best public transport system in the world. That was possible to built b/c what didn’t get destroyed in ww2 was torn down to separate rails from car lanes in the entire system. Not exactly easy to replicate…
I met him at the EASP conference in Granada, 2017. Were it not for my own network, I’d think until today that he’s an honorable cornerstone of social psychology. Speaking up is important, *especially* for senior, male colleagues, and not only once these investigations are published

I mean, I'm trying hard to manipulate multilingualism in N = 2 since 13+ years, but "why should I formulate that sentence differently if you know exactly what I mean" is part of the equation since *somebody* found out "yayourt" might not be a word in any language but everyone knows what it means
happy 11th anniversary to this email sent to all staff at the School of Mathematics and Statistics
Maybe the natural state of forks is "absent"? I'm in my 2nd year of buying 10 forks during "fleamarket season" for the tea kitchen. Everything else is constant (more knives than ever needed, just enough large spoons, not-enough-but manageable quantity of tea spoons), but fork numbers keep going down
I love that #petiteknit is getting people to knit, I‘d love it even more if our new friends would be courageous and widen their skills. #tincanknits has great tutorials and patterns, or try this little cap: www.ravelry.com/patterns/lib... trust me, you can do it 🥰
ich verstehe das insbesondere für Inhalte wie z.b. die Sendung mit der Maus überhaupt nicht: was verliert die ARD wenn Kinder im Ausland die Sendung schauen? Ich würde auch freiwillige GEZ zahlen (tue ich für Netflix ja auch), aber dass ist leider nicht möglich
FAIR data management: I have talked extensively to researchers about file naming conventions and its benefits, and I understand it is not in any way an exciting topic. But until I no longer receive files CallY_draftX I will keep talking. This is a unique file name on *your* computer, not on mine.
![Dear Dr. [redacted],
It was nice to meet you at the [redacted]!
Thanks for thinking of me as a possible reviewer, as I am interested in the topic. However, I decline to review this manuscript - I often do this in the case of journals published by profiteering corporate publishers. For Nature Communications, Nature Publishing Group charges an outrageous US$6990 to authors that has little to do with higher-quality service or journal processes and lots to do with a legacy first-mover advantage that it uses to exploit academia. This is rentier capitalism.
NPG funnels papers they reject from their most prestigious outlets to their newer subsidiary journals such as Nature Communications and Nature Communications Psychology, which academics go along with because they don’t (directly) foot the bill, and because, given the pressure academics are under to publish rapidly, they wish to take advantage of the reviews they may have already received from the higher-tier Nature journal. Because we are now live in a world where most studies can eventually be published somewhere, NPG has been able to exploit this by creating their own lower-tier journals and charging high-aspiration authors for the convenience.
This practice conflicts with my interest in universities and funders not wasting their money, which is why I do not wish to support it by contributing to the hundreds of millions of dollars of labor that academics donate to corporate publishers. Instead, I preferentially review, and volunteer as an editor for, diamond open access journals that are free to read and publish in.
For various reasons, including combating this strategy by which corporate publishers are extending the era in which they profiteer from university funds, many academics and funders now advocate for the Publish->Review->Curate model, in which academics publish their work immediately (on preprint servers, which prevents gatekeeping by editors), and then get it peer reviewed, preferably through low-cost…](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:kynaetyuzsp46xejc6mzpjle/bafkreiaoe55bbl7zqu7nkhem6uy74kmqxc5pkassyn5ofayrfwxy7my3ia)
Today's email to an associate editor, declining to review for a big corporate publisher. This one focuses on Nature Publishing Group's practice of funneling rejected manuscripts to their newer journals with hefty APCs.
We are thrilled to announce that our NEW Large Language Model will be released on 11.18.25.
Fits well with positioning themselves as research-only in the beginning: they used data that otherwise wouldn't have been available. Who would have known they would move to for-profit? Now, they use copyrighted content until the the lawsuits are over, by then, their models are well-trained.
so it appears batteries got more expensive since we bought our cargo bike in 2019, and (in my anecdotal mini-survey) the driving factors are more mode choice, better infrastructure and seeing others using them successfully
Yes, and the choice of models, but I guess that’s related (nobody will design more cargo bikes if they cost the same as a decently-sized car). size is a huge factor in a city: no way we could have fit the earlier models in the parking space available, they were either too wide, too long, or both
