#France paid €31 million for article processing charges (#APCs) in 2020, about 3x what it paid in 2013. It predicts it will pay between €50m and €68m for APCs in 2030.

In addition, it paid €87.5m for #subscriptions in 2020 and predicts it could pay €97.5m in 2030.

@BorisBarbour @david_colquhoun of course conclusions will be similar, but not the same, and this is one case. It will be almost impossible to explain if you don't know what methodological falsificationism or severe testing is. Reading my textbook would teach you about these things - this is a good starting point. https://lakens.github.io/statistical_inferences/questions.html?q=Methodological#three-statistical-philosophies

Dear #Americans of #Mastodon, you have a wonderful opportunity that is rarely granted to you. For the first time, you're in an online public space that is not American, that is not centered around the US, and as I'm typing this, a place where the majority of users are not Americans. You can open yourselves to the world as you've rarely been able to before.

So please, stop expressing yourselves like the US is the default country here and that most users are Americans. We're not. Love.

A Jewish politician comes onto the fediverse- and what is he welcomed with?

A comment about how he doesn't deserve to be boosted.

A comment about Israel despite him not mentioning Israel.

This is why Jews don't feel safe on the general Fediverse folks. This right here.

It's why I felt so compelled that I made an instance for Jews where this isn't allowed.

So many of you cared enough to migrate from Twitter to Mastodon.

Now I'm going to encourage you to go further:

1. Migrate from Instagram to Pixelfed
2. Migrate from WhatsApp to The Matrix.
3. Migrate from Facebook to Friendica

Do to Mark Zuckerberg what you already did to Elon Musk.

I have just finished rolling out the Python version of the R package 'statcheck", created by prof. Michèle Nuijten.

Statcheck can be used to extract and analyze statistical results from scientific articles.

Currently working on adding the option to extract tables.

If anyone would like to check it out, here is the repo:

Hi Everyone! Another Twitter (@LauraAzolla) deserter here, hoping to do some science networking online via an alternative route. I'm a scientist, lecturer, climber, sailor and photographer. I'm finishing my PhD thesis at @utrechtuniversity on Azolla #fern #metagenomes and #genomics (https://github.com/lauralwd/azolla_phd_thesis). Also, I just started a new job teaching bioinformatics to PhD candidates, also at UU. I'm an #openscience enthusiast, my code and writings are on (https://github.com/lauralwd)!

GPT-3 is going to make finding quality information on the internet a nightmare. The generated text will look good to search engines, and garbage sites that rely on SEO for clicks will just have GPT-3 write about whatever the big topics of the day are. This could even be easily automated.

@UlrikeHahn Agree. This is the US way of dealing with these situations. Manage the reputation, do not have the difficult conversation about what actually went wrong and how to prevent it in the future. This is not really an example of vision and leadership from APS and it is likely detrimental to future editorships.

I couldn't help but feel that #XKCD 1269 was relevant to the #selfhosted #Mastodon #fediverse.
