The Dutch microbiologist has been voluntarily searching for duplicate, erroneous or retouched academic images for more than 10 years and warning universities and scientific journals about itBeatriz Olaizola (Ediciones EL PAÍS S.L.)
I was surprised that Oxford University Press journal Insect Diversity and Systematics (online only) charges $4000 for #OpenAccess. That's really high isnt it?
I've never published in #entomology journals...does anyone have a alternative recommendation?
Challenges in Academia
A pointed article about what is going wrong, in part, with academia.

Wow. Ok. Normally I feel like it's a bit overplayed to individually comment on #MDPI in the whole #AcademicChatter conversation, but this is really a must-see:
A Special Issue where the guest editors are lead or senior author on 27 of the 28 papers it published. Were they also their own reviewers!? Like... that sounds like I'm taking the piss, but... no seriously were they?

I guess this is a preview to an upcoming post. Look forward to it...

My highlight in this screenshot (#science delivery & success is a TEAM effort!), but if you're vaguely involved in #academia +/- #bioinformatics, do have a read and think how it all may apply to you. #academicchatter @academicchatter

Happy to say I defended my dissertation "Methods and complexity in phage-bacteria ecology and evolution"!
Much thanks to all those who supported me throughout my PhD.
I'm glad to be sticking around the Turner Lab for another year as a post-doc to continue my work on multispecies phage-bacteria communities
