I am seeing a lot of posts about Rosalind Franklin that themselves ignore her publication record on DNA!

In fact Franklin and Gosling's paper, including the famous Photograph #51, was published, along with Wilkins's paper, back-to-back with the Watson and Crick paper in Nature in 1953.

Reformation of science publishing: the Stockholm Declaration | Royal Society Open Science
Science relies on integrity and trustworthiness. But scientists under career pressure are lured to purchase fake publications from ‘paper mills’ that use AI-generated data, text and image fabrication....

A Sharon Begley byline, almost 5 years after her death.

Upon hearing the news James Watson had died, a STAT reporter said in our Slack, "I wish I could read what Sharon would have written."

Incredible news: Sharon in fact did pre-write a Watson obit. And it is masterful and excoriating.

My primary use of bluesky is to follow all the cool academics/researchers i see because i want to see their work/insights, and then some of them follow me BACK, which is so unexpected and makes me feel so happy cuz im only a "nobody" bachelor student 🥹, but determined!

I use bluesky to collect all the interesting research papers like a little crow collecting shiny trinkets and they give me little dopamine boosts PLUS very inspiring PLUS keeps me up to date with the topics of my interest PLUS potential network building ☺️

This is definitely somebody’s dream job. I know it would be mine if I was a historian
Firaxis—the studio behind the Civilization series—is hiring a historian. An *actual* historian.

And note, when they ask for "4+ years as a Writer, Narrative Designer, or other position with commensurate duties," that includes teaching, writing, and research—i.e. your Ph.D. in History.

A very late (about a year and one week) birthday gift for my therapist, the sweetest and kindest and one of the most important person in my life :)

academics on bluesky, help me out:

there’s an associate professor I really adore and i want to make her a little gift to express my gratitude, after she stops teaching me ofc, is that appropriate? I’m thinking of crocheting a plant because that’s her field of expertise

Maryland folks, I need another favor.

There is a person from Anne Arundel county that has been infected with SARS-CoV-2 for about 3 years (Delta infection).

They probably don’t even know they are infected, but they are shedding a ton of viral material in wastewater

Thrilled that our paper on the role of the rat prelimbic cortex (PLC) in decision making is finally out! Three main findings are described in this thread

Hi! Here’s my first post on Bluesky. X was always confusing to me, I hope to meet more likeminded people here!

I study psychobiology at the University of Amsterdam. Here’s a kitty me and my friend saw on Science Park campus. (patiently waiting for FNWI to make an account)

Stay hydrated!!!
