"A study of federally funded research projects in the United States estimated that principal investigators spend on average about 45% of their time on administrative activities related to applying for and managing projects rather than conducting active research" www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

Scientists, academics, researchers: We’re excited to share that @altmetric.com is now tracking mentions of your research on Bluesky! 🧪

THREAD: In 2023, I received an envelope with no return address. Inside was a flash drive containing tens of 1000s of secret files. It came from a vigilante with a tumultuous past, who'd conducted a years-long undercover operation. He didn’t tell the FBI or his family. He only told me.

Can love this enough.

My latest chapter with @mkstickland.bsky.social on pulmonary gas exchange is out in a book edited by two of the best Mike Joyner and Jerry Dempsey. #PCCM #Physiology.

Yup Bluesky has exploded. While it’s great to see a bunch of new folks, it would be nice if y’all sat a while and absorbed some of the culture instead of trampling all over indiscriminately. I’m looking at you #MedTwitter. Also what took you so long? #MedSky #PCCM

I just want to point out that I have had cat lady in my bio since I joined BlueSky several months ago.

Larry is the world’s most highly cited #cat (132 #citations vs Willard’s 107). These were entirely fabricated, by Reese Richardson and Nick Wise.

Wow. Just wow.

The WHO has completely failed here.

At my “publicly funded” institution only 6-7% of budget comes from the state. My almost 40 years in research and >30 years at my current institution was supported entirely by research grants. This is going to be interesting. #AcademicSky #MedSky #PCCM.
