In my view this is a very important paper. MA Oviedo-Garcia has been posting about this for months (see buff.ly/3XdVzWi , if you have 𝕏) and it is very good to see a peer reviewed paper that explains her findings. Great work - keep it up. buff.ly/4dqYrEn

Thrilled to share that I will join Johns Hopkins University Johns Hopkins BME as an Assistant Professor in 2025! The Yang Lab will develop novel bioelectronics and biomaterials for brain-machine interfaces, regenerative medicine, and the study of human neural development and diseases.

A paper I submitted to a journal almost six months ago just got a desk reject because after reaching out to 12 reviewers, they couldn’t find anyone to review it. Idk man, systems are punishing

What a headline. “Most climate policies do little to prevent climate change”

EIC gave you a cold, generic response, you follow up like this 😎. I do anything to get (EIC's) attention.

Want to get more from research papers? Read critically, then read creatively.

The issues are complex to say the least. I have a couple of comments that may be worth thinking about. If one considers PubPeer’s activities as an intervention to promote accountability in science it can be looked at as a human experiment. The interventions in this experiment

Hans Krebs identified the citric acid cycle - also known as the Krebs cycle. The cycle is a series of reactions that convert nutrients into other molecules with a large amount of chemical energy. Do you know why it is so important?

Elisabeth Bik Think deeply about what I said. It’s not about the concerns. It’s about PubPeer’s methods of raising the concerns and doing harm in the process regardless of the significance of the concerns. The PubPeer method has goals that appear to go well-beyond fixing errors that are

An ancient computer coding language, COBOL, from the 60s is still being used in major organisations like banks. Most coders don't understand it anymore - so AI is being drafted in to help us keep COBOL-reliant systems running. 🎧 link.chtbl.com/newscientist

Biggest medical discoveries of the week (🧵) 1. Why do some people get bitten by mosquitoes but others don't? It turns out that mosquitoes use three signals to pick their hosts: CO2 from breath, human odour, and the infrared radiation emitted by skin (nature.com/articles/s4158…)

Hundreds of medical algorithms have been approved on the basis of limited clinical data. nature reports on the debate among scientists on who should test these tools and how best to do it. go.nature.com/4dUveSv

I took a look at the number of retracted articles, as indexed by Scopus. The increase in 2023-2024 is expected (Hindawi being a large contributor) but even ignoring these, there has been a steady increase over the years. It will be interesting to see what happens in 2025.

Gennady Gorin It is not “peer” review or an audit.

Thats what I told earlier- there is a nasty gang of people - their job is just to attack, defame and tarnish image of people - and by doing so they derive pleasure and portray them as messiah/protectors of science on social media platform, even they dont understand papers 😂

Elisabeth Bik Shaena Montanari The Transmitter PubPeer appears weaponized against science & scientists by those no longer in science or never were. Those who are targeted suffer by “aggressive cyberstalking and harassment campaign” as stated by Dr. Loscalzo at Harvard Medical School in September, 2023.

Elisabeth Bik Shaena Montanari The Transmitter Mendel’s pea experiments looked too good in some cases… “many ways of cheating mainly driven by complexity of the data” “Preprints revolutionary” “Very little image fraud in preprints” “Open and transparent is what science needs” “Many more eyes on a preprint” Speaks about
