Interesting paper from EHJ on citation metrics. The paper proposes a modified H index taking into account things like whether the paper is primary or secondary research & whether the researcher is first or last author. Food for thought! #citationmetrics #cardiology academic.oup.com/eurheartj/ar...

Also interesting to see common misconceptions arising from the students, which can then be addressed in subsequent teaching. Seem bigger gaps in pharmacoKinetics Vs pharmacodynamics #pharmacology2024 Prof Paul White from @MonashUni

#pharmacology2024 - Roisin Kelly -Laubscher from Cork University explores the use of language in assessment through consideration of semantic density and semantic gravity, and the nuances of command words like 'discuss' and 'describe'. Language really does matter!
