Thanks @GoogleDeepMind for finally releasing #AlphaFold 3 code/params! 😊

These slides are NOT about quality in any way. They are instead a perfect illustration of what journals are really about: they are a ***PROXY FOR WINNING*** - this is what makes them so toxic and why we have to reject the whole "proxy for quality" framing, which is bullshit.

O que se paga por um serviço básico é possível subscrever na #DIGI 1 GB net, 2 telemóveis ILIMITADOS e televisão e ainda sobram uns trocos. Dá para ver a dimensão do custo excessivo que cartel tem imposto à economia nacional. No corporate vão todos mudar.

This is a really precious resource.
And at last, the ZP "domain" has been broken down into two distinct ZP-N and ZP-C domains, as our ZP3 structures first showed something like 15 years ago!
So RIP ZP domain, and welcome ZP module 😊

You know what would be far more impactful and inclusive @Nature? Not charging people around the world to read scientific articles on your site.
Stop using ‘summer’, ‘winter’ and the rest when inviting researchers to events — it’s a small step, but it’s necessary and inclusive go.nature.com/4dUMxT0

"Several members of my faculty [told] me, 'You can't get a job at Berkeley without a Cell, Science or Nature paper'. These [same] people had gotten jobs at Berkeley without a [CNS] paper...We believe this to be true to an extent that's irrational" @mbeisen youtube.com/watch?v=lg0-IRy7…

Publishing science in an effective, reliable and fair way costs money. But the world would be better off if we stopped treating publishing as a transaction and instead treated it as a centrally funded resource with no financial barriers ever for either publishing or reading.

It is so depressing that I still routinely hit paywalls when trying to read scientific papers. The scientific leadership of this country and the world have betrayed science and society with their perpetual cowardice on this, and so many other issues.

My university has informed us that we are moving to a “customer service” model. Not a joke.

And they cost ~1% of journal articles (~0.01% of research). So whatever you think of peer review (we need more vs less vs different vs none), supporting a mechanism that provides rapid and universal free access to knowledge should be a no-brainer journals.plos.org/plosbiolog…
#Preprints are important and valued in (most) job and fellowship applications. Also, they are the best currency for exchange of information, feedback and proof of what we are doing with funding.
