I'm inspired by what @elisabethbik.bsky.social + fellow sleuths are doing. I'm fascinated and thankful that there are people out there who dedicate time to these activities. We need initiatives like this everywhere and at every level in science.

Thanks for this. I suspect a lot of AI-generated 'work' related to this journal. We recently had a paper rejected, and we suspect the reviewers were ChatGPT and the like. Have you looked up the most recent issue of the paper? It could seem to me as Asian-only papers, especially Chines ones.

Metabarcoding in gut protozoology Next-generation sequencing (NGS) methods include whole-genome sequencing, metagenomic analysis, and amplicon-based NGS, all of which are gaining terri…

Detection and differentiation of parasites: How can we apply the 'one-fits-all' approach known from microscopy to DNA-based methods without having to sequence our 🍑 off??
