Now on Substack: "Machine-First FAIR: Realigning Academic Data for the AI Research Revolution" - by our VP of Open Research, Mark Hahnel.

Why should we prioritize machines over people when sharing data?

Happy birthday to the Soviet linguist Yuri Knorozov who casually deciphered the Mayan script in 1952 and got pissed when editors removed his cat as co-author on papers or cropped her out of his author headshot (the only picture of himself he even liked)

Chemists discovered a powerful hidden antibiotic that’s 100 times stronger than existing ones and effective against deadly superbugs.

The study has been published in the Journal of the American Chemical Society. YES, it is PEER-REVIEWED.

THIS IS HUGE! Researchers have just identified a powerful new antibiotic that is 100x STRONGER than existing drugs against deadly superbugs like MRSA and VRE. Hiding in a well-known soil bacterium, pre-methylenomycin C lactone KILLS drug-resistant bacteria WITHOUT triggering resistance.

Intrigued that ARNOVA & SSWR still have not created Bluesky accounts at this point in 2025. It integrated into @altmetric.com (unliked LinkedIn) & increasingly preferred by academic & scientific institutions & networks. No platform is perfect but... #AcademicSky #ARNOVA2025 #SSWR2026 #SSWR26 #SWTech
Bluesky now platform of choice for science community
It’s not just you. Survey says: “Twitter sucks now and all the cool kids are moving to Bluesky”…

Joyce Carol Oates is trending.

Her most shared item we can track (so probably not most of her poetry unfortunately) is the wonderful tribute she penned for her late husband, research scientist Charlie Gross.

It's amazing to see this published. It was a lot of work testing, refining, and improving our AI sentiment proof of concept that is now live in @altmetric.com. If you are curious about the process, do check it out!
Nice new paper on how we did the sentiment analysis for social media that talks about research. Tagging @careia.bsky.social and our official account @altmetric.com
A little while ago, we added sentiment analysis to #altmetric @altmetric.bsky.social and we (well, Carlos led and the rest of us helped...) wrote a paper on how we did it and what we did www.frontiersin.org/journals/res...

An extremely luminous flare recorded from a supermassive black hole - Nature Astronomy
An extreme flare has been seen from a supermassive black hole at redshift z = 2.6. First detected in 2018, it is 30 times brighter than similar events. The most likely cause is the shredding of a star of 30 solar masses or more.
