Don't take what I say as an insult, I have no bad intentions and I'm open to talk about it.
Don't star my toots, I find that often useless: if you liked it send a reply.
Consider boosting the toots, it's the only real way in which stuff is propagated through mastodon.

@rastinza @erinnacland @academicchatter @alexh Hi there! "I hope they'll add a chemistry journal" -> Peer Community In is managed by scientists. Any scientist can initiate the creation of a PCI in a field not already covered. Please read our blog post "Steps in the creation of a new PCI" and do not hesitate to contact us! https://peercommunityin.org/2019/05/21/steps-in-the-creation-of-a-new-pci/

Hey @rastinza, a platinum/diamond #OpenAccess journal with chemistry focus can be found here: https://www.beilstein-journals.org/
I already published there, and can recommend.

@pepperonibookmark Why just reply "yes" to an email, when you can use a highly elaborate mathematical model to reply positively in 250 words?
@freemo I cannot believe these are serious comments. I hope this is just cherry picking some trolls.
@erinnacland @PeerCommunityIn @academicchatter @alexh Wonderful! I hope they'll add a chemistry journal.
I don't like the fact that you cannot easily browse from one journal to the others, but I guess that's not something you do often anyways.

Non-profit journals as a solution to open science?
Publishers charge researchers incredible amounts to remove paywalls from their own papers...and make unbelievable profits from doing so. Several have an >30% profit margin.
Initiatives such as @PeerCommunityIn provide an alternative: open access, non-profit journals that are free to publish in.

Remember, it’s very easy to replace terms:
° Use allowlist instead of whitelist
° Use denylist (or blocklist) instead of blacklist
@gwensnyder Is there any evidence of this?
@hasmis @Iwillyeah Indeed, peeled tomatoes ensure a minimum quality amount (tomatoes have to be entire). I still do get very bad tomatoes in there.

Carnivorous oyster mushrooms can kill roundworms with “nerve gas in a lollipop”
"The mushrooms have evolved a novel mechanism for paralyzing and killing its nematode prey: a toxin contained within lollipop-like structures called toxocysts that, when emitted, causes widespread cell death in roundworms within minutes. Scientists have now identified the specific volatile organic compound responsible for this effect"
@Iwillyeah @hasmis I know how to make good tomato puree at home, but I don't really know the industrial processes.
The easiest way to know if they're good is buying them and tasting them. I'm not really sure how I'd go about investigating the production quality of several factories spread across the world.
Identifying which cans are good is easy to me, my problem is remembering.

Bisogna rinazionalizzare le ferrrovie, e renderle gratuite, per togliere auto dalla strada.
E le ferrovie devono tornare a fare il servizio pacchi come facevano una volta, per togliere furgoni dei corrieri dalla strada.
E i CEO che piangono li mandiamo a zappar cicoria in Sud Sudan (dove non hanno ancora sminato).
@GustavinoBevilacqua Forse siamo nel momento giusto in cui poter fare questa azione; bisogna agire in fretta però, prima che cada il governo. Se torna in capo la sinistra siamo fregati.
Qualcuno dica alla Meloni di fare arrivare i treni in orario.
