Important investigation- national policy bends to the will of billionaires if the Trump clan will make $ from it
Nah, refusing to review for multi-billion dollar corporations profiting off of scientists' free labor is simply letting Adam Smith raise the wages for reviewers. Over time, journals that won't pay will experience longer review times, and authors will naturally be led to submit to other journals.

We are down to BlueSky and YouTube as non-oligarch controlled outlets. That's it.

If you havent seen this, make sure you read.
I went and saw Project Hail Mary.
A guy came in with his service dog and the dog sat there the whole time just concentrating on the movie.
Afterwards I told the guy I was amazed your dog watched the movie like that.
He replied, me too especially because he hated the book.
Armageddon is terrible, but our only other option was diversity trainings at work.
Anyway, let’s all send our little emails and teach our classes and parent our children and cook dinner and drive around like the President didn’t just threaten to annihilate an entire civilization thus cutting off all diplomatic talks.

Wow. Good thing we've solved cancer and schizophrenia and heart disease and drug abuse. ( Sarcastic voice, in case it was not clear.)
Did they come to a different decision about the Gulf of America?

I will say this again: Science isn’t just something that nerds do, it’s the foundation of the modern world.
It’s why this app exists. It’s why child mortality rate isn’t 50% anymore. It’s how we’re able to launch people to the moon. It’s how we’re able to grow food that feeds half the world.
Probably written by the Two Corinthians. :)
Also it's worth noting at this juncture that results like this—lesion and/or stimulation data transformed into a novel target that's then shown to work bette comprise very strong validation of your lesion network mapping methods.
Now what the world needs is a similar paper focused on anxiety …
… and, of course, if he does know about it, that right there is proof he has no business trying to run this country.
<satiric voice>Oh, glad to know cancer and heart attack and diabetes and schizophrenia are all under control now.</>
I read her book on #OCD when I was a medical student, and it helped me in the decision to pursue a career in #psychiatry.
