Several of us overly online biologists spent years quietly doing an experiment on Twitter, trying to find out if tweeting about new studies from a set of mid-range journals caused an increase in later citations, compared to set of untweeted control articles.
Turns out we had no noticeable effect; the tweeted papers were cited at the same rate as the control set.
Our paper, headed by Trevor Branch, was published today in PLOS One:
journals.plos.org/plosone/arti…
Controlled experiment finds no detectable citation bump from Twitter promotion
Multiple studies across a variety of scientific disciplines have shown that the number of times that a paper is shared on Twitter (now called X) is correlated with the number of citations that paper receives.journals.plos.org

Upper Cretaceous. Approximately 100.5 million to 66 million years ago. When alive, this creature lived in warm, shallow seas and had a very short tail, which was fitted with a venomous stinger. Discovered in Haqil, Byblos, Lebanon. It just happens to look like an ancient space alien. #science #fossil #archeology #evolution #photo #nature #biology #wildlife

GitLab takes down Nintendo Switch emulator suyu due to the DMCA
Well, that didn't last long did it. After a first release, GitLab have already pulled down the Nintendo Switch emulator suyu project, due to a DMCA hit as a result of it being forked from yuzu which Nintendo shut down.Liam Dawe (GamingOnLinux)
At least for me, GitLab doing that urged me to take a look at Coderberg.

On Friday morning, I will defend my dissertation.
The research explores how congressional staffers make #science policy decisions at the national level. I used to work in the Senate, which inspired this journey into the social sciences.
(Friday is also the first day of my kids' Spring Break, so they'll be coming along which should be interesting).
For those curious about the topic, I share a bit about the research on my substack. More results will there soon sheril.substack.com/p/a-disser…

in reply to Brodie Robertson • • •the fact that on modern Linux still every executable runs with all the permissions of the user is kinda baffling.
The permission system is developed for multi-user systems where users don't trust each other but trust the software. On modern PCs, we have mostly only one user, but a bunch of random executables that we shouldn't have to trust with our whole drives.
Time for the year of the BSD desktop, anyone? 😁
