It’s good for science and scientists.
It’s a responsible use of taxpayer dollars.
It requires resisting peer pressure to submit to Nature journals.
Thanks @bacteriality.bsky.social for this helpful slide for microbiology journals.

I had the honor of reading an ARC of "When Trees Testify: Science, Wisdom, History, and America’s Black Botanical Legacy" by @berondam.bsky.social. It is an excellent and very moving fusion of science, history, and memoir. It comes out Tuesday. I highly recommend it. #WhenTreesTestify

Thanks @sciam.bsky.social for the opportunity to talk about the importance of Wikipedia and the role students can play in improving articles.
“Wikipedia isn’t this Wild West of information, where anyone can just put anything. There are people holding what is there accountable,” a science librarian told Scientific American to mark the 25th birthday of the website.
At 25, Wikipedia Now Faces Its Most Existential Threat
Wikipedia had to fight to establish its legitimacy—and now it faces a new existential threat posed by generative AI

Environmental microbiology folks - let's discuss! I worry about repercussions of this massive removal. We use UniProt tools to look for gene neighborhoods even on small contigs in low quality MAGs and metagenomes in UniProt. This would take that function away?
UniProt is changing its reference proteomes resource.
Reference proteomes will remain in UniProtKB, while others will move to UniParc.
