My analysis of his year's Economics Nobel is out in EPW! What's wrong with the Economics Nobel this time around? I've written a little commentary arguing that the Prize rewards Eurocentric foundations for (innovation-driven) growth and supports a technology fetish. PDF: ingridhk.com/wp-content/u...

It is up to ordinary citizens in the West to do all we can to stop one of history’s great crimes.
Italian workers have shown all of us how it can be done.

Proteins fold in bits and pieces, first forming small structures that eventually coalesce into the native state. But the path is fraught with local traps: the protein must escape these to find the global minimum.

We adapt social media tracking as platforms come and go or become places for research comms. We also track a bunch of other pretty interesting metrics like policy, news, Wikipedia and patents. So hopefully it wouldn’t be *completely* meaningless!

I know the post is about short turnaround times for MDPI articles, but scarier to me is how long the tail is for some of these distributions. We are talking about almost 2 years sometimes. How on earth is the career of an ECR supposed to survive that? #Academicsky
TATs are also supposed to vary from article to article: some articles are great on 1st draft, some need a little TLC, and some need… a lot… Yet #MDPI journals in particular, across the board, accept everything in a blistering 37 days with almost no variation. 9/n
