Big news: we are setting up a new non-profit organization to run bioRxiv and medRxiv. It's called openRxiv [no it's not a new preprint server; it's dedicated organization to oversee the servers] openrxiv.org 1/n

openrxiv.org

Homepage - openRxiv

openRxiv is an independent non-profit, the new organizational home for bioRxiv and medRxiv, enabling researchers to instantly share groundbreaking findings with the global scientific community.

Há quase um ano que os cientistas aguardam pelos resultados das candidaturas ao principal concurso para financiamento de projectos de investigação. Alguns, no entanto, já tiveram resposta.

Ainda não há resultados dos projectos da FCT, mas alguns cientistas já receberam o “sim”

Concordando com o acesso a todas as publicações científicas não vejo realmente implementar. O guia diz que posso publicar num jornal open access que tem um custo exorbitante apesar de a política de acesso aberto não permitir o pagamento duplo, pela ciência e pela publicação acessoaberto.fct.pt

My NIH study section that was to meet tomorrow was one of those canceled. This represents many months of work by the applicants and by the NIH staff and reviewers. Devastating is the correct word.

'The FDA’s Center for Drug Evaluation and Research approved 50 new small molecules, biologics and oligonucleotide therapeutics last year. The class of 2024 was a little smaller than that of 2023, which had 55 approvals and was the second largest in the past 30 years' www.nature.com/articles/d41...

The FDA approved 50 new therapeutics in 2024, with green lights for a novel schizophrenia drug, a first NASH medicine and much more.

Highly-respected non-profit journals like @dev-journal.bsky.social support scientific communities But after rejection at glam journals, it is tempting to avoid re-review by sliding through commercial ecosystems BUT WAIT! LOOK! “We will consider papers with reviewer reports from other journals” 😍

We're all familiar with complaints about peer review. Some think it's biased – editors (especially from ‘those’ journals) seem to have too much power to decide what gets published. It can be opaque – ...

www.publico.pt/2024/11/27/c... Apesar do alerta de muitos investigadores com posições de liderança na ciência que se faz neste país o partido socialista absteve-se ao reforço do orçamento que visava não aumentar mas apenas não diminuir face ao ano passado. @ciencia_pt 🧪

Who should you nominate as reviewers for your manuscript? After a long chat with a post-grad it appears that there's a lot of misguided advice out there. Thread 👇

As an academic, when you're so busy with your service, teaching, and administrative commitments, you often don't make time to write. 😮‍💨 That's why writing retreats can be SO valuable: buff.ly/48vtfmg #PhDchat #NewPI #ECRchat

Apply to the Neurobiology course, that’s where the cool kids hang out. It’s one of the few opportunities you’ll get to truly explore the “fucking around” phase of science, where you try out creative projects and wild ideas, while surrounded with a ton of excellent faculty and students and resources.
