When they choose which scientists to collaborate with, cite or work with as peer-reviewers or editors, they still "pick people they know", she said. Her message is simple: "Don't pick your mates." "More diverse voices being published in research literature leads to more diverse collaborations [between the west and Asia, and will lead to better science, better drugs,’ she said. Dhand cited a study from UK Research and Innovation showing that when British scientists collaborate with their Indian counterparts, their joint research ends up having a greater score for its impact than either nationality achieves independently. "Both were benefiting", she said.

Sharp argument from the chief scientific officer at @nature.com that promoting diversity in science is needed to get over misperceptions about where great research is happening and a tendency amongst some to just collaborate with ‘your mates’

DOJ investigating whether Denmark lied on its Greenland mortgage.

Had an intriguing editorial discussion recently: how did people in the past talk about 'minutes' when they didn't have watches or standardised times? How does that affect your thinking?

Wonder Woman defends herself from a Nazi as portrayed by Lynda Carter.

Some people were confused by my ICE post. This should clear it up.

A flavor-blasted potato, like a gallstone from Satan's own bowels, sits atop the worst bag of Herr's Kettle Chips ever dispersed for public consumption.

Got my first bag of potato chips in months. Cracked it open. The first chip out of the bag was... soggy?

The second chip was almost fungal.

Baffled, I explored the bag and discovered AN ENTIRE POTATO. Unsliced, brined, like a wad of seasoning juice. It had survived, and now was juicing the chips.

As a social movements scholar, I absolutely love the diversity of tactics being developed by each city, reflecting their local flavor

Gourmet Magazine Gourmet is a worker-owned publication about food and the people who make and consume it.

Condé Nast forgot to renew the trademark for Gourmet and so a group of journalists grabbed it and are relaunching the food magazine as a worker-owned co-op. Love it. [gourmetmagazine.net]

B @BFthoughts • 1 hour ago In this video, it seems obvious why an officer could fear she was going to run into him with her vehicle. Wow! I hadn't seen this angle. He had a reason to feel threatened. It is done. :

In case you’re wondering whether the pro-ICE reactions to Renee Nicole Good’s murder are natural, here’s a comment that was just left on my video. My video about anti-transgender bias at the BBC. I haven’t made a video about Good yet.
