Any old school molbio people have a copy of the 1987 paper from BMBiochemica on using Bailey’s as a blocking agent for colony hybridization?

This is appalling from ADA but Kahn is a fucking hypocrite, having called for the imposition of “guidelines governing ethical publishing of science and medicine free of divisive political opinion" and leading a boycott of The Lancet and Elsevier for publishing an editorial critical of Israel.

If anyone has a few extra dollars and is in a position to donate today, Dragonfly is doing amazing things to help reduce the stigma around mental health challenges in academia, and propagate tools to address them. And they really need our support. www.givingchallenge.org/p2p/663313/m...

This is absolutely disgraceful. The scientific societies and universities that are members of this organization should either unambiguously condemn genuflecting to a president whose budget would have gutted research, and whose broader actions grow ever more repellent on a daily basis.

I agree that the biggest jolt to NIH-funded science system been administrative/political rather than budgetary - but it's worth noting that US science's political strategy has for decades focused exclusively on budgets, while ignoring widespread administrative dysfunction and its consequences.

Ironically you need AI to disentangle this human generated slop from @science.org, a mix of absurd self-promotion & antaidiluvian rant that is a fitting death rattle for and org who has willingly sabotaged science by placing their interests over actual progress. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Why do MLB managers keep making this exact mistake? A mistake everyone knows they’re making in real time. That was the spot for Munoz. Insane that he wasn’t hot.

Finally, someone has solved a real problem with AI! No more having to take a paper in the format for a journal that rejected you, and reformat it for a new journal. Well done!! formatmypaper.com

First they came for the Immigrants. And I wrote a memo. Then they came for trans people. And I wrote a memo. Then they came for the comedians. And I wrote a memo. Then they came for me. And there was no one to write a memo for me.

@mbeisen.bsky.social and I have already been operating without journal proxies throughout our careers and, tbh, every aspect of it is better. Both the experience of doing science and the potential outcomes for science. 5/

While journal publishing has always been deeply problematic, hurting both the pace and trajectory of science, something is happening in this moment that is finally causing the system to crumble under its own weight and cost. 1/
