I'm hoping that @MustaqBilalPhD can crosspost to Mastodon his great bird app thread on Zotero citation management software. A how-to guide. #medicalwriters #medicalcommunication #sciencewriters #STEMtools #Zotero

Tomorrow is Iron Deficiency Day (26th November).
Iron deficiency is one of the most common nutrient deficiencies, affecting 30% of the world's population. Iron deficiency anaemia is a potentially serious condition in menstruating girls and women, but also affects children, pregnant women, and both men and women with: heart failure, chronic kidney disease and inflammatory bowel disease.

Journal suggesters

Each of the large publishers has their own journal suggester.

Paste your abstract in the white rectangular box.

Then click on "Reveal Suggested Journals" at the bottom of your screen.

It will give you a list of suggested journals with the most relevant ones on top.
Thanks to @MustaqBilalPhD on the bird app for the original idea.

World Science Forum 2022 Media for Social Justice Fellowships
Support and promote science from the 'global south.'

One of WSF2022’s main objectives is to support the profession of science journalism in these quite difficult economic times. In the ‘global south’, where issues of importance to local, national and regional peoples are often a ‘hard sell’ at the global level and lack media coverage, the WSF2022 theme of “Science for Social Justice” strikes a definite chord.

Thank you to @Verukita1 for the original post on the bird app

Firstly, THANKYOU, I am so enjoying the scientific content on Mastodon. I have no idea whether I am on the right server, but it's so refreshing. Secondly, I have yet to post on my key reasons for being here, one of which is promoting science/scientists, primarily celebrating the achievements of women scientists. I will throw a few men in there too because I know /have known some amazing male scientists too! I'm happy to take suggestions for who to cover too! I am not @amydiehl, or intending to compete with her -- I started this before I learnt about her work.
