Un pasteo que lee “Una cancha nunca será un campo de batalla y el fútbol no salda cuentas. Pero el miércoles jugamos contra ellos y hay madres que van a gritar por dos.
La pelota no cambia la historia. Apenas consigue, de vez en cuando, que el dolor espere 90 minutos antes de volver a golpear.”A post that reads “A soccer field will never be a battlefield, and soccer doesn't settle scores. But on Wednesday we play against them, and there are mothers who are going to scream for two.

The ball doesn't change history. It barely manages, every now and then, to make the pain wait 90 minutes before striking again.”

The club-ification of international football is one of the worst things ever. Your national team isn't a lifestyle brand. You don't pick one. You have *one* and you root for them, period.

Surprised we haven’t seen a true penalty specialist goalkeeper yet. Every tournament team should have a third-choice keeper whose purpose is coming on for penalty shootouts. Marginal gains

When we take back power, I do not want unity or healing, I want revenge. I also don't want a lecture on "but that's just like Trump, he wanted revenge." He was wrong, we are right. It's different. Get a moral compass. Revenge or sit down. Call it "justice" if you must, it's that too.

1/12 Really proud of this paper! We borrowed tools from biology to ask a simple question: does who you play with actually matter in football? (Spoiler: it does, a lot.) 🧬 🤝 ⚽ Paper here: authors.elsevier.com/a/1mUusArnpe...

Wow! In the ~1.5 years since we launched the EEB section of microPublication Biology, we have published 69 articles with another 10 in review or revision. 🎉 🧪 Thanks to authors and reviewers for supporting the effort! 🙏🏼

I will vote for the first candidate who tells me they're going to make the biggest government possible. Reacher-sized agencies. Braun Strowman-level social benefits. Government so big it starts belching out National Parks and free healthcare. Chungus State.

Gene editing technology began by people studying salt marshes. Ozempic began by folks studying the venom of Gila Monsters. Support for basic science has empowered us to understand our world. Tethering it to applications health has transformed and saved countless lives.

Reminder: There is a venue for microPublications in Ecology and Evolution! Don't bury results in a supplemental file. Publish them as a micropub! #Evolution #PlantScience 🌍 🧪 #Conservation

Do you work in ecology/evolution? Did you do a study that is too small to publish as a full manuscript? Negative results? Part of a larger effort? Consider publishing in microPublication Biology: EEB! www.micropublication.org/journals/bio... Short papers, one figure. And we peer review! Please RT

📣 Introducing 📣 microPublications in Ecology and Evolution! Please help support this effort by spreading the word and submitting and reviewing papers! #evolution 🌎 🌍 🌏 🧪 #PlantScience #conservation
We are thrilled to announce the launch of an Ecology and Evolution section of microPublication Biology! Please support this new venture as an author, reviewer, and/or promoter!

microPublication Biology publishes single, validated findings that may be novel, reproduced, negative, or are the result of small projects that may not fit into a larger article. The major goal of microPublication Biology is to rapidly place research findings into the public domain. microPublication Biology only accepts original, high-quality data and work, independent of perceived impact. Review and publication standards align with COPE ethical guidelines. All published articles are published in English and are peer-reviewed by at least one expert reviewer. 

Articles typically include a short abstract, a main section approximately 1000 words in length, a methods section, one figure (which can have multiple panels), and tables if appropriate.What types of papers are suitable for microPublication?
- Exciting new research findings or methods that you want to publish rapidly in the public domain.
- Experimental findings derived from small projects.
- Preliminary data to cite in grant proposals.
- Findings included in an existing publication as “unpublished observation” or “data not shown”.
- Publishing results instead of burying them in supplemental materials.
- Nature notes and natural history observations.
- Successful or unsuccessful replication of published work.
- Cautionary information.
- Negative results.
- If the amount of your data does not fit within one microPublication, you can prepare several submissions, each focused on an independent result, and tie the articles together with an Integrations article, which serves as a summary narrative article (see here for an example).mock microPublication logo depicting a cardinal, orb weaver, oak leaves/acorns, anolis, and shelf fungi.
