Medical ethicist Arthur Kaplan, quoted in the NYT:

“The announcement on autism was the saddest display of a lack of evidence, rumors, recyling old myths, lousy advice, outright lies & dangerous advice I have ever witnessed by anyone in authority in the world claiming to know anything about science”

Bericht uit februari. In wat voor wereld leef je dan als je dit verspreidt? www.ad.nl/berg-en-dal/...

Wat hebben Anne Frank, Hannie Schaft en de soldaten die in 1944 de Franse stranden bestormden gemeen?
Dat ze vandaag de dag door de @vvdonline.bsky.social als terroristen gezien zouden worden omdat ze antifascistisch waren.
#IkBenOokAntiFascistisch

The magnificent @deevybee.bsky.social gave a #fosci talk pointing out to the major issue in #scientificpublishing that corporations are desperately trying to ignore — the editors who let all the garbage in their prestigious journals 🎇

+ brilliant term: Negligent Open Access Publisher = NOPE

eau, with Mariska Baars Nowadays I regularly put albums on Bandcamp as a free (if you wish*) download.

'eau', my album with Mariska Baars (soccer Committee) is now available to download for any price you see fit, on my Bandcamp.

Here's a Substack post I wrote about it:

And here's the album:

Other Worlds, by Dead Neanderthals 7 track album

Draait de geweldige lp Other Worlds van @deadneanderthals.bsky.social, 31 december vorig jaar verschenen, dus deze briljante krautplaat telt gewoon mee voor de eindlijst over 2025. #nowplaying #kraut #eindlijst deadneanderthals.bandcamp.com/album/other-...

Training and support within the Future Doctoral Provision Programme AHRC has commissioned an engagement exercise to develop thinking around the future of doctoral provision in the arts and humanities.

Wow, someone at the AHRC has a brass neck for treating their own grantees as "research quality".

Each HEI’s formula score is determined by two variables:

research staff (within arts and humanities), this is a proxy for research capacity

AHRC grant income, *this is a proxy for research quality*

Looked at my data collections for state-backed activity. If the report were a picture:

Four different papers, including one in Nature. The images appear to have been provided by a CDMO (Neurodigitech, LLC) to different teams in the US. Researchers have been adding these beautified and recycled images into their papers like they're filling up a sticker book.

Nice one! ❤️

Couldn't agree more!
