There’s been a lot of discussion of scientific fraud of late. Here I suggest “one weird trick” we might use to help deal with fraud: *actually punish fraudsters*!! inews.co.uk/news/the-only-…

France, 2023. (From instagram.com/p/Cp3ZbhNr009/…)

There is something fundamentally flawed in the current science publishing system. Power to the preprints!

Best abstract ever.

"we need to become biomedical data scientists." Do we? interesting question, anyway.

My blog is now updated with correspondence with CNRS Scientific Integrity Officer. Unfortunately, we had strong differences of opinion about keeping this confidential. I justify my decision to publish at the end. deevybee.blogspot.com/2023/02/open-l…

Congrats! Well deserved!

Ever wondered how transient transcription factor DNA binding can robustly activate transcription? In this new preprint, we find support for one of the possible mechanisms: transcription factors exchange. A 🧵 1/9. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Please RT: Two (3+y) postdoctoral research fellowships. If you want to work in a multidisciplinary team to study how cells make decisions please get in touch. Ideally you have a background in physics, maths, comp bio, but discipline hoppers also welcome. jobs.unimelb.edu.au/en/job/912480/…

This book (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/On_the_Or…) only had one.

Hydroxychloroquine-COVID-19 paper we first reported on in April 2020 (retractionwatch.com/2020/04/06/hyd…) should be retracted: Letter. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

According to rule 34 of single cell, yes, it IS! genomebiology.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11…

Well I guess the picture illustrating the paper clearly demonstrates that indeed old white males are discriminated!! (discriminated for, not against, of course...)

Science, through peer review, is rewarding conformist behaviour. Whereas research, by definition, should be all about unexpected findings.

Just returning from vacations and Twitter has turned into Hell. I just spend 15 minutes blocking unwanted accounts from my feed. I will therefore (like many others) terminate my account.

Mastodon seems like an acceptable alternative, but before opening an account, I would like to get a sense as to what server most of the scientific community is moving to ?

Dear all. This is the very last post I will make on this network. Twitter was once a very exciting place for science but this is unfortunately over. Thank you all for following me and for those who want to continue, I will be found here: @[email protected]
