"I want to read research that feels written for me."
That line appeared in our workshop zines and stayed with us.

Open access doesn’t automatically mean open understanding.
Who do you write for? And who might feel left out?

Despite hormone use being the most prevalent and important risk factor for #VTE in women <50, there is huge underrepresentation of risk models and funding.

Food for thought and action 💪🏼

Academic folks, here's proof that Bluesky is a great place to post citations. I am also noticing much better traction in general (I post for an academic group; despite a larger following on X there's much more interaction here).
The general trend is crazy. Here is Twitter vs Bluesky volumes for the last week. On some days they are equal in volume.

When 14 journals choose to publish the same article simultaneously, you know the topic is important. This is about predatory journals, which are out to catch the inexperienced authors. If you are thinking of submitting a paper following an invitation, read this first. #publishing

Just because a paper is highly cited, it does not mean it is any good. The hydroxychloroquine paper as treatment of COVID-19 by Didier Raoult made international news, let to 1000s of patients taking an ineffective drug and was cited 3600 times. Retraction story in Nature journal tinyurl.com/ufjahnyd
Controversial COVID study that promoted unproven treatment retracted after four-year saga
Paper on hydroxychloroquine led by French researcher Didier Raoult is second-most-cited study ever to be withdrawn.
