If I could change one thing about #ScientificPublishing I'd ask funding bodies to stipulate all work they fund be published in non-profit journals. The knock-on effects would alleviate most of the strain on #AcademicSky. This isn't hard. It's big, but actually, it's pretty easy. 1/n

Concerned Health Professionals of New York opposes the construction of fracked gas pipelines in NYS on public health grounds. We note that the original permits were denied due to egregious risks to air quality and water. That science hasn’t changed. We urge citizens to get informed and speak out.

In 2017 I had the absolute privelege of hearing a plenary by Sean B Carroll at #Dros17. He told the story of Albert Camus and Jacques Monod. In 1940 occupied France, Monod pursued his Nobel-winning research by day & resistance by night. Read "Brave Genius": www.seanbcarroll.com/brave-genius... 1/2

Is the congressman representing Silicon Valley, @rokhanna.bsky.social, really basing his policy rationale off how many views he gets on X, a platform with completely opaque systems for recommendations and view counts, and owned by a guy we know uses the algorithm to promote himself?

Ro Khanna tweet: X isn't always real life. But 23 million plus views is the most any post of mine has had in 9 years in Congress. Millions of Americans want us to work with @DOGE to cut wasteful spending. I am for spending money to improve peoples' lives, not wasting money. It's common sense.
