Anyone (academic / researcher) had recent experience with submitting to #ScienceAdvances (science.org/journal/sciadv)? Good or bad?
We submitted there about 3 months ago and heard absolutely nothing since then..

(BTW, please try to comment on your submission experience on there when you can!)
Frankly I don't even know why we are talking about this. Until he arrests Danes in their own country I don't see how he will shut down #scientists. The US government has already decimated #research #funding and #science is still going. It's going to take a lot more violence to stop #truth (if ever).
#SCOTUS just let #Trump take an ax to scientific #research. Justice Jackson's blistering dissent: "By
todayās order, an evenly divided Court neuters judicial review of grant terminations by sending plaintiffs on a
likely futile, multivenue quest for complete relief... With potentially life-saving scientific advancements on the line, the Court turns a nearly century-old statute aimed at remedying unreasoned agency decision-making into a
gauntlet rather than a refuge."
Dropping a link to a bsky post. Anyone still remember the #colossalbio #direwolf PR stunt?
It looks like there are SEO'd AI posts popping up smearing one or more of the researchers who publicly spoke out against it.

A newly discovered bacterium, Uabimicrobium helgolandensis, eats other bacteria and is a kind of 'bacteria of prey,' that should not even exist based on previous concepts about microbial cells. It could be a kind of microbial missing link, researchers suggest.

Have you ever thought about questionable research practices (QRPs) in academia?
The Retraction Watch team have highlighted this new paper in PLoSOne that has a systematic analysis. The authors identify 25 QRPs and then survey a lot of academics.
The results are interesting, widespread use of QRPs, sort of a grey area of acedemic behaviour, with some explanatory factors.
I'm bookmarking this for future use.
