@sciantsmedia.com and @paleontologizing.bsky.social talked about them on Monday! Impromptu crossover. Only done a reel on why this is just sensationalized news!

I find that Natureās āeditorial responseā is paywalled rich. Thereās been a problem in academic journals for a long time. Is Open Access the answer? Hard to say it is when you still need a paper in one of the big journals to get professorship or to become an IC.

Academia is a hellscape, congratulations for getting out. I know some fabulous scicomm folks that have chosen the same path. Iāve heard some terrible stories about some ICs.
