Fed up with these invites for reviews from journals no-one reads nor is interested in. I have no high hopes... #reviewing #predatoryjournals #academia

Excited to finally share our work on attention-based multiple instance learning to quantify and characterize intraplaque haemorrhage in carotid plaque whole slide images from >2500 patients in AtheroExpress. Fun collaboration with @swvanderlaan.bsky.social and Craig Glastonbury labs.

4/ This advancement helps link IPH to key clinical outcomes and understand its biological mechanism, advancing cardiovascular care and research. 💙 Discover our study 🔗

3/ Our model precisely localises IPH within plaques, quantifying its area and facilitating downstream analyses of its association with clinical 🩺 outcomes and molecular 🧬 features.

2/ With data from the @atheroexpress, we developed a framework to analyse whole-slide images🔬 for better IPH detection and analysis. 📊 H&E staining showed strong results, and combining it with other stains further improved accuracy.

What about the many science tv and streaming services shows? You know, the likes of David Attenborough and Stephen Hawking, for example? Discovery Channel? And all those different magazines for all ages and subgroups? Wikipedia for years? And now ChatGPT? Seems #Science is more accessible than ever…

#ScienceMatters #OpenSciencw #OpenAccess
To what extent do researchers funded by Dutch Research Council NWO and ZonMw share the research data and code underlying their publications?
Today we published an analysis based on 10.000+ papers using the open source tool Grobid: www.nwo.nl/en/news/shar...
All underlying data openly available!
Who or what would be opposed?

Interessant.
Ik bedenk mij ook dat mensen allerlei labels geven niet perse helpt ('rechts-radicaal', 'linkse rakker', etc). En dat geldt dan voor alle betrokken partijen. Waarom zou de een dan nog met ander willen praten, of andersom?

Also, we do not need money to apply a different approach to appreciating work.
It's just an alternate approach to managing how we all work in #academia. It's about changing a culture. You don't need money for that.
Good good. The Future of Science *is* Open.
Agreed: failing actually means learning. Fail fast and often, and you learn.

Interesting findings below. But @scienceguide.bsky.social : where is the link to the actual research?

That said: they do have disease-causing effects and it is wise to try to minimize ingestion of #microplastics as much as possible. Read: where you can control it. For instance, drinking water from a metal bottle instead of a plastic one.

We don’t have to panic, it is unlikely we ingest a credit card’s worth of #microplastics 👇🏽
