Today felt very productive:

1) Got a response back on a paper that we could immediately address and correct, so I did. Here's hoping it's over 🤞

2) Got a grant back down to the word limit (started the day at 1.2x the allowed length!) 📝

3) Saw some cute fruit flies under a microscope 🔬

4) Wrote this Toot 🐘

That's basically #science right #ScienceMastodon ? 👨🏽‍🔬

@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.

Don't make me tap the sign

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

Carnivorous oyster mushrooms can kill roundworms with “nerve gas in a lollipop”

https://arstechnica.com/science/2023/01/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"

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).

#LightPollution is the dumbest pollution.

If you think THAT'S unethical, you should see the stuff we approved via our Placebo IRB.

"The research into Verra, the world’s leading carbon standard for the rapidly growing $2bn (£1.6bn) voluntary offsets market, has found that, based on analysis of a significant percentage of the projects, more than 90% of their rainforest offset credits – among the most commonly used by companies – are likely to be “phantom credits” and do not represent genuine carbon reductions."

So greenwashing schemes do not work as advertised? Who'd have thought?

Yes indeed, it is a long road until researchers take back the whole of their publishing activity. Yet, there is hope. For instance, in France, almost two thirds of the papers published in 2020 are open, and it is growing.
