It's so interesting that in the name of practicality we are urged to avoid any practical action; in the name of redemption we are urged to exonerate people who have shown no interest in redemption; in the name of civility we are urged to overlook the cruelty of those who scorn all civility

My latest piece, on open access and scholarly publishing - revealing my inner fangirl to the world in the process (you are not shocked, I know) 📚 #AcademicSky

Requesting help from librarians:

Boss wants info on college libraries going digital-only.

Who is digital-only?
How's it going?
Have libraries gone digital to later reintroduce print?

“Gimme one of those metal thingies… you use to dig… food”
what's the stupidest/randomest Simpsons quote that lives in your head rent free? Mine is the urge to say "you said go to bread" every time I am about to head to bed.

This is why we fund scientists to study things like oyster slobber even if you don’t think it sounds important
⚠️ Chinese researchers have invented bone glue that mimics how oysters stick to surfaces underwater.

The adhesive can reportedly repair orthopedic fractures in 2-3 minutes, even in blood-rich environments, and is bioabsorbable.

I don’t want to bungle or bobble the Fingal dopple
Does anyone else have an MST3K line they use regularly, even if it makes no sense out of context?

Because I have both "That'll keep your panfish down for a while." and "Come come, boys, we must confound Jerry at every turn!" from MST3K the movie alone.
