MDPI's flagship journal IJERPH just got de-listed by Web of Science/Clarivate! WOW! 🤯
This is huge news. IJERPH is 2nd only to Scientific Reports in terms of total article output. IJERPH no longer has an impact factor, no longer in Web of Science.
Will pen a quick post in a bit, but for now, see Paolo Crosetto's thread on birdsite: https://twitter.com/PaoloCrosetto/status/1638526088908353537?s=20
"the very fact that we need a central, private, for-profit authority and we all live by their word is compete madness on our part."

"For this work and other efforts to try to curb the spread of H.I.V. in the Nashville region, Ms. Binkley and her colleagues have relied heavily on federal grant money. So they were stunned when Tennessee’s health commissioner announced earlier this year that the state would no longer accept $8.8 million in federal grant money, which for more than a decade has been distributed among nonprofit groups, county health departments and health care organizations."

Pff... wake me up when @kevinng & @victoralab have sequence Beethoven's germinal centers - it may reveal the biological roots of the light zone/dark zone motif opening the 5th.

New preprint: complex systems tend to be stable if interactions between components are sufficiently homogeneous. We show that key features of biol. systems, non-local interactions and intrinsic noise, destabilize them and facilitate pattern formation https://arxiv.org/abs/2303.12611
'Doadrio, de 64 años, entró al museo de voluntario cuando tenía 18, para organizar los miles de botes con peces, poco después de la muerte del dictador Francisco Franco. “Había colecciones abandonadas desde 1936, llenas de moho, con las ratas por los pasillos. El museo ha cambiado radicalmente desde que entré”, celebra el biólogo.'
"I'm a fan of phenotypic assays in general - the idea of letting the cells tell me what's going on is more appealing than me trying to tell them (they don't listen very well). But that said, a bad phenotypic assay is truly the worst of both worlds."

FT's @KuperSimon: "If we’re serious about keeping the planet liveable, we have to regulate & tax huge cars out of existence." #SUVs are: "not only awful for the climate, they’re also killing pedestrians, including children in driveways" https://www.ft.com/content/7612e3c0-0e10-4cfb-895d-40b2e5d083b9

"In terms of acceptance delay, we find, again, that papers from Asia, Africa, and South America spend more time compared to other papers published in the same journal and the same year. Regression analysis of US-based papers reveals that Black authors suffer from the greatest delay."

@petros "In these debates, there’s a clear survival bias. Those who can ask these questions were affected by restrictions and are likely to have had Covid-19 once, if not several times, and survived. Those who died – an estimated 220,437 people in the UK – don’t have a chance to weigh in on whether government intervention was sufficient, or whether their deaths were preventable."
