Finally, some recognition!

If you are an author, a publisher, or a “literary agent” and you are FOR banning books, may I humbly suggest you FIND A NEW JOB? 🙃

Scientists, academics, researchers: We’re excited to share that @altmetric.com is now tracking mentions of your research on Bluesky! 🧪

Read to the end Aussie researchers, and don’t eat room temperature chicken

It's that time of year when most of the NHMRC / MRFF grants are submitted, and time for a period of reflection before trying again next year. Let's take a quick look at the odds of success... Remember - most applicants are serious researchers, many have PhDs and impressive track records.

Honey, stop what you're doing, new hyponatremia research just dropped! What's it say? It looks like slow correction is associated with worse outcomes, like death and length of stay! Was it just a small study? No, it was a meta-analysis of almost 12,000 patients! jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...
