I want to do a site visit in Europe during 2024.
I'd love to be able to visit your institution, maybe give a talk about careers in publishing, & then meet with researchers working on different areas to learn about their work.
If you'd be interested in hosting me, let me know!

I'm increasingly involved with EDI initiatives these days, and I feel that disability is still an under-discussed and under-considered aspect of inclusion. We need to do better, and I welcome any thoughts on how publishers can contribute to this. 4/4

Massively under-reported science story because there's so much going on right now but...it turns out that we might have figured out what's causing this very scary spike.
Quick thread, on how WE'VE BEEN ACCIDENTALLY GEOENGINEERING FOR DECADES...but then we stopped:

After long-time co-existence in the Labs (& beyond, I guess 🤔), Pseudomonas has recently learnt how to eat the synthetic & dearmost reagent Tris! Fellow Mol Biologists: keep an eye on your Tris-based buffer bottles! Is there anything this bug cannot do? biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…
