Sharing knowledge is a fundamental principle within the scientific community, yet null and negative results are still being underreported. @scurry.bsky.social &co present a roadmap to a solution that has a role for everyone in the scientific community 🧪 #Academicsky #reproducibility plos.io/3VwaU2O

Null & negative results ≠ failure. They’re essential—but still sidelined. Proud to co-author this @plosbiology.org paper tackling systemic bias & calling for culture change. ECRs pay the highest price for this biased culture! Blog by @scurry.bsky.social tinyurl.com/ysc23wrx #PublicationBias

A lot of unnecessary administration to make administration look like necessary for the sake of fat salaries. There used to be times when academics had the say.

"Thinking time —the time needed to concentrate without interruptions has always been central to scholarly work. It is essential to designing experiments, compiling data, assessing results, reviewing literature and, of course, writing. Yet, [it] is often undervalued." www.nature.com/articles/d41...

We’re accepting applications for our Accelerator Awards. This opportunity aims to support researchers of Black, Bangladeshi and Pakistani heritage in the UK to undertake activities that help them build a stronger profile to make successful career transitions within academia. Find out more ⤵️

Great kickstart of UK Young Academy -‬⁩ All Members Meeting today @royalsociety.org, one of the senior partner academies of UKYA. Lot to hear about the past achievements and future goals. #UKYA

⁦‪Excited to be @acmedsci.bsky.social‬⁩ today for the official induction of ⁦‪UK Young Academy‬⁩ membership among 42 new early career professionals that aspire to champion positive change in society.

Deeply honoured to be selected as a member of the prestigious UK Young Academy and join these trailblazing minds in creating positive change. Looking forward to collaborating with fellow academics and researchers as we tackle pressing challenges in science and society. @unisouthampton.bsky.social

Excited to be part of this scientist-led initiative at @narjournal.bsky.social! I look forward to contributing initiatives from an early-career researcher perspective. @unisouthampton.bsky.social @sotonbiosciences.bsky.social

Spring has sprung @uosmedia.bsky.social

I wrote a thing for @thetransmitter.bsky.social. The attack on scientific infrastructure happening in the US shows that relying on any one country is not a good option for science. We need to start supporting and building international, decentralised infrastructure for science.

Had a nightmare PubMed website was shut ☹️

I joined 75+ @nobelprize.bsky.social laureates urging US Senators to oppose RFK Jr.'s confirmation as DHHS Secretary. If you’re in a state with GOP senators, PLEASE reach out to them! I’d deeply appreciate it if you amplified this post! 🙏 www.nytimes.com/2024/12/09/h...

If you’re a federal govt employee targeted for leave or termination on the basis of your DEI work, please file an EEO (Equal Employment Opportunity) complaint & retain legal counsel. I’m a former NIH PI. Happy to refer you to a law firm that has successfully sued the govt many times! Pls repost 🙏❤️

As an academic, applying for faculty positions means submitting countless applications to various institutions. But have you ever wondered if this process could be more uniform across all institutions? Here is my take on the need for standardising the process. @cp-trendscellbio.bsky.social

Grateful for Stanford's diverse training opportunities for postdocs, especially Stanford OPA's teaching program. Proud to receive my Stanford Postdoctoral Teaching Certificate today, which represents ~100 hours of teaching training over the period of my postdoc @stanfordmedicine.bsky.social

Maybe you figured out already. To follow the same people on X in Bluesky, you can use the Sky Follower Bridge extension for your browser. Instructions on the image below.

Since the mass exodus of academics from X, my feed there full of cat and other satisfying videos. I'm packing my stuff from there to migrate. Will stick around there until the cats fully take over my account.
