"‘Dear colleagues, we should all work on the same strain because, soon, we will sequence the genome of Listeria’. At that meeting, I had brought samples of the strain on which we were working to give to everybody – and I came back with all my samples! Nobody was interested because, I think, they did not believe me. After we obtained a significant budget, it still took us two years – and we were six groups – to sequence the genome of monocytogenes (Glaser et al., 2001)."

"Transnational philanthropy, embodied in the Gates Foundation, is a source of
domination; and this is a serious problem, because it gives the wealthy uncontrolled power over the basic interests of other people in a way that is difficult to reconcile with the commitments to minimal autonomy that underpin much of the distributive global justice literature." Great piece by Gwilym David Blunt in Intl Affairs: academic.oup.com/ia/article/98

What you really need to know about that fusion news. "This is a big moment for fusion power, a basic test that the field has been striving for since researchers started dreaming about it in the 1950s. That deserves to be celebrated, and I think it’s fine to get excited about it. It’s a true milestone."

"But…we need to be clear here. This is primarily a scientific achievement. Fusion has a long way to go to be a technology that we’re really using in our daily lives." technologyreview.com/2022/12/1

Antfascist publishing on twitter is essentially dead. Accounts posting substantive material about fascists and the far-right who have not yet been banned will be.

Having a secure website and social media platform like Mastodon with a trusted admin is absolutely essential.

Did you post a preprint in 2022 that reports negative results in a life sciences discipline? If so, you are likely eligible for our competition for #preprints that report negative/null or inconclusive results. Check out the details & submit by January 14.

'In 2018, Robert Mokaya discovered that he was the only Black chemistry professor in the United Kingdom. For a decade, he’d assumed there were others who he hadn’t met — until investigations by the UK Royal Society of Chemistry revealed his lonely status. “Somebody said to me, ‘You’re an endangered species. When you retire, there won’t be any,’” he says. “It is a terrible statistic.”
