Every now again it’s useful to repeat advice about accessing papers that are behind a paywall that excludes you. Email the author. My estimate is that 90% of academics are so thrilled that a living, breathing, possibly even reading, person shows interest that they will swiftly send you a copy.

I think a lot about what Carl Sagan said in one of his final interviews.

Ben Franklin on inoculation, after his son died from smallpox. “In 1736, I lost one of my sons, a fine boy of four years old, by the small-pox, taken in the common way. I long regretted bitterly, and still regret that I had not given it to him by inoculation”.

New paper out with colleagues on citizen science approaches for microbiology. A bit different, but membranes get a mention for anyone who was briefly worried 🤣 www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/jour... Also, publish in society journals!

Got a request to review what looked like an interesting paper in my field. Saw it was an MDPI journal. Deleted the email. Sorry authors, not supporting MDPI.

New job, new social media. I recently became a lecturer in Biosciences at Aston. I'm incredibly lucky to be associated with @astonaime.bsky.social and am looking forward to many new membrane protein adventures as I set up my lab for the first time.
