"best practices are often not applied in the evaluation of the publishing records of researchers: where are the error bars on a tenure decision, university ranking or grant application?" CⓐmeronNeylon COKI Project Chun-Kai (Karl) Huang nature.com/articles/d4158…

Today we toured the DUG super computer facilities in Perth. The computer processors are sunk into vats of what looked like water but which was actually … baby oil! We were able to dip our fingers into it, and see many cables and the banks and banks of processors under the liquid

Masks🧤🥤 and plastic bottles. Protecting ourselves from #COVID19 infection has exacerbated single-use plastic pollution, led to a global plastic crisis & a major threat facing humans & wildlife, 8 #TeamHB4 and #TeamHB5 researchers have found. 🧵 homewardboundprojects.com.au/2022/07/29/urg…

A cure is possible. The researchers are calling for urgent global, measurable & time-bound reduction & elimination targets for plastic pollution, & a global effort similar to the Antarctic Treaty. Read 👇homewardboundprojects.com.au/2022/07/29/urg…

Wearing my Zoos Victoria Bubbles not Balloons t-shirt in Antarctica with Homeward Bound ! While it looks pristine, there are microplastics even here affecting the ecosystem. See below for our new paper on how to help 💙 With Marga L Rivas Blanca HB4 Bec Handcock elisabeth deschaseaux

Masks & gloves disposed during COVID19 have led to a global plastic crisis - threatening humans, environment & wildlife. Seeing plastics in Antarctica prompted a group of #WomenInScience to write a paper showing that a global solution is possible, similar to the Antarctic Treaty

A concerning article on penguins and climate change: "Half of all living penguin species are endangered or vulnerable, and the scientists say their slow evolutionary rates and niche lifestyles could send penguins towards a dead end." buff.ly/3Beb3ij

COKI Project Chun-Kai (Karl) Huang Karl asked the question, not is #openaccess associated with more citations, but is it associated with more *diverse* citations. The answer is yes, and it seems pretty robust. We think this is pretty solid evidence in support of the basic claim of OA. More people access it.

Excited with the amount of interest shown for this preprint and am eager to hear feedbacks. Just to add, in support of open data and reproducibility, we have also made the full data process transparent through GitHub and Zenodo: doi.org/10.5281/zenodo…
