“We did not publish a paper.. on this topic with that co-author group, or with that title,” says one cited researcher.

Truly "where does the money come from and where does it go" is such a missing piece. I'm always quick to tell students that the fee per article download doesn't go back to the authors or the editors of journal articles.
Fellow science teachers-
Please explain to your students the importance of government funding for research in this country. I didn't know how science was funded until grad school but our next generation of researchers need to know what is at risk. It will have HUGE implications for their future.

First drink of the day? Coffee. But for the SECOND I just poured hot water alone to trick myself into thinking I was getting more caffeine.

I've got a new article out in CDQ! "Commemoration and Context: The Death Counter Graphics of COVID19." I'm pretty proud of it!
I argue that "death counters" act as a separate class of graphic than other kinds of risk management visualizations.
