Good news from the Netherlands. The misuse of the Journal impact factor to judge scientists and their work has been a calamity in science. However, this phenomenon was driven by scientists themselves, specially successful labs: see pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/24643863/ nature.com/articles/d4158…

Impact factor mania persists because it confers significant benefits to individual scientists and journals...is a variation of the economic theory known as the "tragedy of the commons,"...everyone is forced to play, not everyone can win - damage to science pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/24643863/

Academic life is not about stressing out about failed experiments, we also have to stress out with shortages of plastic materials… 😔 #AcademicChatter #academiclife

While either group could have scooped one another, what we did instead was have some of the most fun scientific calls I’ve ever been part of, in which we discussed our work and our results, and even cross-reviewed each other’s manuscripts. 13/

Almost 32 million Brazilians -- 20.9% of the total -- did not vote today.

In the context of the ⁦World Health Organization (WHO)⁩ fungal pathogens priority list, my friend ⁦Josh Nosanchuk⁩ and I discussed strategic actions at PLOS NTDs to stimulate research on fungal diseases. journals.plos.org/plosntds/artic…
