Another point of clarification: ⛔️ Not all open access is “pay for publication” Most ask for open access fees AFTER peer review has completed. Examples @bjajournals.bsky.social @cja-journal.bsky.social @Chrisprabhakar.bsky.social @lloydturbitt.bsky.social @ropivacaine.bsky.social

🔥 my hottest hot take from yesterday #ESRA2025 @esra-society.bsky.social Amir Hadzic says everything gets published now POV Everything gets published if your name is Dr. Hadzic Many journals with high standards that will reject low quality research. Educ is needed to know where to go

⁉️ Suprascapular nerve supplies 70% of the pain sensation to the shoulder.... We've all heard this. Has anyone seen any evidence for this claim? Tracing this back through various papers, I found a 1988 paper that stated this with no evidence or citation. @Bobfunn.bsky.social @Houthoff.bsky.social

Resident doctors who sat the high stakes MRCP pt 2 exam in Sept 23 learnt today that they were given the wrong results- both passes and failures. Massive sympathy for them - I hope the will be compensated for the damage done to careers www.thefederation.uk/news/mrcpuk-...
