You're lucky... my university would likely lean more towards its two letter prefix cousin... ex-

Seriously! The colour variations in even this single species range from pure white > green > blue > rust > red, with highlights around claw and spines ranging from white > orange > red > brown. Amazing combinations 😍

My observations are usually hundreds of metres from nearest creeks. Although local experts have published "a number... have been observed walking some kilometres from the nearest water" and "for >6 yr a large crayfish... solicits food from staff" at a resort 🤗 scholar.google.com.au/citations?us...

Big tech isn't helping: speaking with students in the hospitality industry lately. They:
I. want to study
II. want to meet cohort
III. state "accessible" class sessions suit traditional employment.

Asynchronous learning promises plenty but diminishes human experience. Uni's must adapt.

God help us when chemistry is not educationally sustainable.

How long can the academic sector survive corporatisation?

An emergent theme across any valuable research training program is the critical value of communications in science. "It's not all about hypotheses and data"

Thanks for highlighting this paper!

Oh dear... this could be the tip of the iceberg

The huge list of co-authors didn't smell a rat?

Game on! You've just motivated a dinner table hike discussion over this side of the border! Good luck!

... limit invitations? I found a gremlin in the predatory model. If one commences an "editor" profile, but leaves it incomplete, you are in review purgatory: no papers assigned as Ed, and no invitations to review.

I'd prefer to do more, but it's unsustainable. I thus have better/fewer invites

Peer review > publications

The greater than sign should be in 24 pt font

I only review for legitimate journals now. I previously took it very seriously for all journals, although overload and low integrity approaches by editors at predatory journals led to a divorce from them. How did I... (1/2)

Love to be added. I serve as an integrity advisor at my institute, and shared approaches/experience in navigating the code would be appreciated.

Outstanding idea!

I hear you. Even after a good week in DP outcomes, the feeling that the slow burn / chronic cortisol doesn't even the balance is front of mind...

Pie shop: of the divine. Unfortunately my long-standing no. 1 is in Te Anau... and yes, I just forfeited my citizenship.

Ohlala... 1 pt to the west!

Congrats... how do I get your backfill for sick leave?

Happy to promote my lab. We work on red cell biophysics and signalling
