What do you know? - Impact Factors and the Journal Citation Indicator

Let me know what you think! I was interested in the data and wanted to compile it for a broader perspective. I welcome feedback and discussion on this topic.

Also, when anyone yells, “Hey, are you doing anything right now?” in such a way that indicates they’ve already decided that you aren’t.

Imagine if Clippy popped up to ask this

Right now, don’t we all?

How about spite clusters? Can that be a thing?

This is an important but overlooked aspect of communicating science online.

Those in web development and SEO have long included alt text for images. Doing so for scientific images and diagrams can open your content and message up to a much broader audience, but doing it properly is key.

NASA begins mass firings of scientists ahead of Trump team’s deadline Top advisers in the Office of the Chief Scientist are among the first to go amid downsizing effort.

What could possibly be the reason for shutting down independent scientific counsel and oversight at NASA? I have guesses...

The head and shoulders of a man with the skin removed on his head, showing the anatomy just below the skin. The neck and thoracic cavity (which is only just in sight) are more thoroughly dissected. He looks a little like Christopher Walken.

One of a series of wax figures progressively “dissecting” the body in the Science Museum, London. He was made in Florence by Clemente Susini between 1776 and 1780. Life-sized versions of these smaller figures are in La Specola, Florence

🧪The 5 stages of grief for trying to finish projects in December:
1. Denial. "I'll finish it all this year!"
2. Anger. "Why's it taking so long?"
3. Bargaining. "Ok, let's just get THIS part finished."
4. Depression. "🙄..."
5. Acceptance. "The rest can wait until January!"
🥳🎉

I certainly think so.

Scientists fear big cuts to animal research under Trump 2.0 New political environment could provide opening for groups that want to eliminate animal studies

Should we be concerned about the future of animal research funding under the upcoming administration and its political climate? A recent ScienceInsider article delves into this issue.

ALS (Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis): What It Is & Symptoms ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis) is a neurodegenerative condition that causes progressive muscle weakness. Treatment options can help slow progression.

What is ALS?

These mouth bacteria use a new type of cell division to make 14 cells at once The newfound strategy seen in C. matruchotii might help oral bacteria recover lost territory after each eviction by toothbrushing.

Crazy stuff in PNAS

dental plaque bacterium 𝘊𝘰𝘳𝘺𝘯𝘦𝘣𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘶𝘮 𝘮𝘢𝘵𝘳𝘶𝘤𝘩𝘰𝘵𝘪𝘪 can divide into an unprecedented 14 daughter cells at once—then each daughter cell starts growing immediately in a rare process called multiple fission, achieving 0.5 mm per day of expansion

This is #ALS

ALS is slowly losing losing muscle control needed to move, speak, eat and breathe.

ALS is measured in reaching milestones…. like not being able to use your arms & not being able to walk & falling down.

There is no cure for ALS. ALS is fatal.
