Look what they put up in London: they call Tesla the Swasticar... Perhaps I see one of these posters when I go to the @royalsociety.org next Monday for a meeting to discuss "about concerns that have been raised by some of our Fellows about public pronouncements and behaviours of other Fellows".

@andrewmstern.bsky.social showed that soluble AD brain fractions contain #Abeta and #tau filaments, and we confirmed by #cryoEM that these adopt the same folds as in sarkosyl-insoluble fractions. Therefore, why would the mysterious STAs below not just be filaments? www.nature.com/articles/s41...

After the Brexit vote, I doom-scrolled and engaged in social media exchanges for weeks, until I realised that the only change that came from that was to bring me down. I then stopped following the news for a while, and I uninstalled social media from my phone.

Will these tools further exacerbate biases in the literature: if the opinion of those who write many papers gets fed into their training more than the opinion of those who write sparingly? Scientists should use their precious time to do good science, not to write many papers...

Give control to shareholders, and enshittification will happen, where a relentless drive for growth will reduce quality for users. It would be cheaper and better to keep companies away from control over scientific publishing. Scientists do most of the work anyway. Look at @elife.bsky.social!

The below is an important thread: rooting out fraud is extremely important, but the tone of this opinion piece in the NY Times is unnecessarily damaging for trust in science. (It may be good to sell books though...)

Would it be interesting for universities, governments, etc to set up their own servers with the @bsky.app AT protocol, so they control their own data? Would that provide more control over their data and protection against dependence on a single US company?
