The strain on scientific publishing: we set out to characterise the remarkable growth of the scientific literature in the last few years, in spite of declining growth in total scientists. What is going on? direct.mit.edu/qss/article/... A 🧵 1/n #AcademicSky #PhDchat #ScientificPublishing #SciPub

I wrote a piece about a certain flavor of academic abuse. I have carried parts of this story for upwards of 25 yrs, & I’m grateful to @chronicle.com for helping me to tell it. #AcademicSky #HigherEd #PHDchat www.chronicle.com/article….

My latest cartoon for @newscientist.com

Panel one: a climber reaches the top of a towering cliff. There, among the clouds, a serene figure with a long beard, wearing a robe, sits crosslegged on the bare rock. He is "The Great Wise One of the Mountain"

Panels two, three and four: sitting serenely crosslegged on successively lower clifftops we see the Assistant Wise One of the Mountain, The Post-Doc Research Fellow of the Mountain and a group of PhD Students of the Mountain

Universities across Europe have begun actively recruiting U.S. researchers,"offering themselves as a haven for those keen to escape the Trump administration’s crackdown on research and academia." #PhDSky #SciSky #PhDChat

Photo from a demonstration: Boy holding a placard:
What do we want?
"EVIDENCE BASED SCIENCE"
When do we want it
"AFTER PEER REVIEW"

a popular chant and slogan from the
March for Science, expressing strong support for rigorous scientific validation (peer review) before accepting research as reliable, highlighting the importance of quality control in science communication and policy, especially in political contexts where science is debated. It emphasizes that good science needs time to be vetted, critiqued, and confirmed by other experts to ensure accuracy and validity.

Just practiced my dissertation defense presentation for the 15th (or so) time and I think it's finally ready to go! Can't believe the time is almost here. I mean, I can because I've been waiting months but it's also kind of surreal. #whew #phdchat #academicsky #phdsky
