i spent hundreds of hours over the past two months arranging, singing, mixing, filming and editing this, including a 24-hour-straight work session on Christmas Eve, to get it out by Christmas I like it a lot. the ending gives me shivers

Boredom is repetition. Figure out how to inject 'contrast slides' into your presentation that are different from your other slides to keep people awake. Templates are tradeoff: more repetition for faster orienting. Video with examples & science: youtu.be/geNqadeqGWc

Citing individual figures and sections of papers will get easier and more prevalent soon... — This joke highlights how that innovation may finally break our 200-year-old print-based citation conventions. (😆)

Want to see a quick demo of the technology that might replace citations in scientific papers? Goodbye citations, hello embeds. I was just hoping for links in scientific papers, but this is even better! youtu.be/A2JpI-5NIsc?si…

In 2018, Brian Kahn said that the warming stripes graphic 'belongs in a damn museum', even suggesting that it was 'fit for the Museum of Modern Art' (see gizmodo.com/this-climate-v…). Well... Later this month, they will appear at the Museum of Modern Art: press.moma.org/exhibition/pir…

Another thing I love about being able to self-publish my own research with Curvenote Journals is that I don't have to complain about journal policies anymore — I can just make my own!

If you've been and Editor of a journal, DM me if you'd be up for a zoom to tell me all about your frustrations with journal software. Trying to design better tools!

APCs costing science $Billions. Would love to be able to track average APC cost, so we can see *hopefully* progress in reducing that number through efficiency. This fantastic study curated an APC dataset, but notes it may take regulation to force full, open transparency by

Mike Morrison Would @mystmarkdown or @Curvenote be overkill for a personal scicomm blog? I've always wanted to build something similar to painscience.com and they seem to tick all the boxes. I'm assuming the Curvenote blog is using Curvenote?

If we want more reproducible science, then we have to make science easier to reproduce. Here is an early demo of a step towards that: Scalable, one-click access to re-run the LIVE code & data behind the study. youtu.be/7AXxZ0a1ws0 #SciPub #ScienceUX

We have an ugly 3D printed prototype! 🎉 Video: youtu.be/7RgjXVU8XGU Big milestone in our quest to create an #OpenHardware people counter to measure & improve information foraging in scientific poster sessions. Prettier device next. All code on GitHub. #betterposter
