"We estimate that $15.08 billion (in 2025 USD) was spent globally on APCs between 2019 and 2025. Adjusted for inflation, annual spending quadrupled from $0.9 billion in 2019 to $3.7 billion in 2025, with >85% concentrated among a few large publishers."

SpaceX goes public tomorrow. A wonderful moment for cynical shills and Patagonia gargoyles to roll in the filth of the dodgiest company to list since Enron. This is the last exit route for capital for a minute. A big win for horrible people, but a brief one before a dark era for Silicon Valley

Your periodic reminder that science is not done by a few selected "stars scientists". Science is done by hundred of thousands. Siloed money mean a few flashy discoveries and a lot of waste. Want to change things? Make funding accessible and stop funding calls with less than 2% success rate.

Editors have a really hard job, and the good ones can make something unreadable readable, and the great ones can make something unreadable into something good. But they're basically invisible, until someone tries to write without one.

This is one of the more interesting works I've participated in. NMR holds a lot of promise for understanding structural features in covalent organic frameworks (COFs). Layer stacking, staggering, distances, and more!

Metal-organic frameworks can selectively adsorb and separate gases...but where are the gases adsorbed in the system, how do the adsorbed gases move, and what host-guest interactions are in play? Check out the new preprint from the @westernu.bsky.social Huang and Karttunen labs! #NMRchat
