Meme of Captain Jack Sparrow from "Pirates of the Caribbean" saying "But! … it is a research practice!"

… my brain, reading this "in a voice" like that 🙃

I spent quite some time today to give proper credit (CC stuff from Wikimedia) to authors of pictures I use in my lecture.

Why is moral so inconvenient? I could steal billions of billions of gigabyte data and just get rich by reselling it to people with a chatbot interface instead.

But! It. Is. A. _Research_ practice.

Driving gives this entitlement feeling like everyone is in your way and everyone is slowing you down. Honestly until you're on the receiving end of it on a bike or walking I don't even think ppl realize how crazy it is. It's like so bad guys realize they're the bad guys? Probably not

Don't be shy to take on a little two-week side project. These five months will be the most precious three years of your academic journey.

There is something maddening about AI breaking tools that USED TO WORK! I want to wander the streets raving "spell check used to know things! You could google answers to questions!"

A VCR never sold my private info to a nazi

Kinda xenonphob. Poor element 😞

I’m looking for an automated way to read others’s scientific data without giving credit or acknowledgement, and also claim full credit for insights from it. And I want it to have a fitting name

OAI: say no more

Comic. [Person and person with white hat facing two boxes stacked with $80 price tag and sale tag on each box.] PERSON 1: They want $80 for this? I could make one myself for $10 in parts, an hour of work, a trip to the hardware store, another $30 in parts, another few hours of work, two more trips to the store for $20 more in parts, another hour of work to redo the first hour of work because I messed up, and $80 to buy this when the one I made breaks.

Make It Myself

Perfect name for something you use for your science and not give any credit

Hey, if you have old instruments (in particular optical detectors, photometers, fluorimeters, microscopes, etc etc etc), I try to start a collection 🙃

Easy:

It's remarkable how most of the world's English-speaking democracies seemed to have gotten together and decided "let's destroy the main thing that led us to unprecedented prosperity: our systems of higher education."

Ah, close! Does it work?

I have this beauty here at home from (I assume) 60s/70s

Lamps top left, grating bottom left, beam splitter in the middle, holder to the right as well as the detector.

Body made out of metal, so I'll guess from the 90s? 🤔

Dusty two beam photometer

Reviews now take 3-4 months apparently 🥲

Senior professors - if you want to help your junior colleagues in these times, I am begging you, review our papers. I have done 25 manuscript reviews in the last 6 years. But my own manuscript is stalled out waiting for reviewers. Relatedly, I won't be doing any more reviews until tenure. 🧪

Ouch! Researchers find many previous measurements of microplastics in environment may have been accidentally inflated by microplastics coming off their own lab gloves. "Contact with nitrile and latex laboratory gloves can cause overestimations of microplastics (mean 2000 false positives per mm2)."

I see it as an introduction to the people in the field: hey, people! We're new here and wanted to do some stuff in this niche. Hope you don't mind. This review is our homework on the topic! Best regards, new authors

Well, you have seen the review and you connect the authors' names to the niche field now (as newcomers). Seems to be enough purpose for me 🙃

I'm pretty sure this will age well and is of no consequence to Thermo Fisher Scientific 🙃👍

Do I know any chemistry people on here from Spain (preferably near Madrid)?
I have a rising senior here at AU (Spanish citizen) going back home to Madrid this summer and is looking for any lab work opportunities.
Thanks!
