Unfathomable that the first Australian to face court & go to jail in connection with alleged Afghanistan war crimes is whistleblower David McBride. Shame on the Government for not exercising its legal power to intervene & drop the charges andrewwilkie.org/2024/05/senten…. #auspol #politas

Thank you to eLife Community for promoting our survey! We have heard some amazing stories from ECRs and #postgrads on their experience with the published literature. We are still looking forward to hearing more from everyone!! Prof Jennifer Byrne 🧬 Adrian Barnett

Alphabetical order mismatch and 52 of 78 neighborhoods had wrongly merged data. I spend a lot of time teaching advanced inference methods, but boring research data management remains the most essential skill. And that includes auditing for merge mistakes.

Meanwhile Stephen Colbert gives a quick appraisal of Big Gina (great Australian) attempting to have Vincent Namatjira’s portrait of her removed from the NGA. So her strategy seems to have worked wonders because only 2.5 million Americans saw this live… 🤫😉

Today is National Sorry Day. I want to say sorry for the Stolen Generations. Sorry for the record numbers of First Nations children in out of home care today. We need to understand this is not the past, the injustices and trauma continue. We must Listen. Learn. Act #SorryDay

Since the #papermills plenary, I can’t stop thinking about the history of “authorship for sale”. How old is it? In some sense, possibly ancient! I’m aware, for example, that Licinus tried to buy Pliny's work to publish as his own. [McGill, S. Plag. in Latin Lit., 2013] #wcri2024

In a new paper led by Losia Lagisz, we find that 222 “Best Paper” awards across 27 subject areas lack transparency, inclusivity, and support for Open Science. Of particular concern, concepts that align with Open Science were almost absent from assessment criteria ☹️

New from Adrian Barnett QUT: "Why I’ve removed journal titles from the papers on my CV" Science is rarely simple. "Simplistic promotion and hiring criteria ignore this wonderful complexity. Changing typical academic CV formats could bring some of it back.” ow.ly/VvLK50SVXY8

In a new nature article, #AusHSI Prof Adrian Barnett calls out modern scientific culture’s obsession with where research is published over the science itself. To shift the focus, he has removed all journal names from his CV. Would you do the same? bit.ly/3An5UpS QUT
