On this day 2y ago we announced our move away from the huge profits that NeuroImage makes for Elsevier. Things at Imaging Neuroscience have progressed fantastically thanks to the support for this move by the brain imaging community and @mitpress.bsky.social. 565 papers published already!

We need new ways to share scientific knowledge, especially as the current ones crumble and exclude more than 50% of good research. But it's imperative that as we build the future of #PeerReview and #ScientificPublishing, we make things more fair, transparent, and inclusive. 🧪

🍏🍏🍎🍏 Which emoji grabs your eye? People look at where the most contrast is first. Control attention on your slides and posters like an expert. New video in my "Design for Scientists" series shows you how... youtu.be/yjJDpx2jdgs

💯 Scientific articles have been designed for reviewers first, and readers a distant second.

"Libraries can not only store knowledge, they can create knowledge." Great case for university presses publishing scientific articles instead of Big Journal. #SciPub

Just wanted to share the small project I'm working on, aiming to provide an open workspace to hone literature searches with a visual interface. This will allow for searches to be shared in an interpretable and easy to rerun form with their own UID and hosting.

It’s hopeful seeing publishing improve from both ends: 1. The traditional model continuing to crack and erode 2. New alternatives coming up that are better on every dimension. 💪

As somebody who has sucked at email my whole life, Shortwave.com is the only thing I've tried that really helped. Now it will use AI to help you address your emails in theme-batches! Like "Okay let's knock out your events first..." 🤯

Yup. The problem with AI-generated reviews is not that AI did it - it's that they suck. No need to detect if it was written by AI or human. If a review is crap, it's crap.

This is a great way to teach p-hacking. My data analysis students will definitely be visiting your site next semester!

#ResearchCommunication is directly connected to research publishing. Yet they are disconnected. For example, access to published research. Most grad students lose access to university library systems upon graduation, limiting access for a key group who can help elevate and share the research.

Some are sarcastic with their words. Others… This #dataviz designer woke up and chose violence. Love it.

Out today: Exciting intermediate between endosymbiont and organelle identified! Endosymbionts in Angomonas deanei lost nearly all bacterial cell division genes. Instead, we identified a host-encoded protein, ETP9, that became specialized for endosymbiont division. 1/2 www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Is this how traditional scientific articles die? If you’re using more AI and less normal Google, it means you’re also not visiting the articles that Google links to.

🚨This week, many Columbia scientists lost grants that funded over half their annual income. Others will no longer be able to do research that helps treat thousands of sick patients across the US. "It hurts," they told me. My story for @nature.com 🧪 www.nature.com/articles/d41...
