Interesting podcast from the Guardian's Science Weekly. I'm listening now! www.theguardian.com/science/audi...

Welp. www.science.org/content/arti...

couldn't put my zoom virtual background on fast enough this morning and realized i should probably clean up my zoom real background

Please remove me from this list

The government shutdown is going to affect the MEDLINE component of all the platforms that hold MEDLINE, right? #medlibs

My personal trainer said I gave him hope for old age and I vommed

I'm so pleased to see this and I can't wait to dig in! "Overview of evidence synthesis types and modes" @daniellepollock.bsky.social et al pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40914296/

Question for #medlibs et al -- how do you like EndNote 2025? Worth the upgrade?

Just wanted to share a really nice poster by @carrieprice.bsky.social and colleagues. As someone who deliberately invited librarians a lot when I was editing systematic reviews, I can vouch for what they add. Specific info about attitudes and priorities is really interesting. osf.io/8khyp

I've officially been at my new job longer than I was at my old job.

I have this alert set up in PubMed: "conducted accordance PRISMA"[tiab:~5] OR "following PRISMA"[tiab:~5]

I just used heterogenous in a sentence I'm a library scientist

AI search tools for evidence synthesis. So proud of our team! #medlibs #canmedlibs #ukmedlibs #ausmedlibs #expertsearching #evidencesynthesis onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

Here's a new one: "The Johanna Briggs Institute" First of all it was Joanna and second of all they go by JBI now.

If somewhere in your #SystematicReview methods, you are reporting that "a medical librarian developed, ran, recorded, reported [whatever] the search," then ... I WANT TO SEE THAT MEDICAL LIBRARIAN AS A CO-AUTHOR or at the very least an acknowledgement.

Data available upon request is not acceptable. Search/es available upon request is also not acceptable. If you are going to do science, do science, please.

Is something weird happening with Embase #medlibs, I thought we used to be able to use :it or /it for publication type, in fact it even gives you this translation in the query translator, but I've found today that :it or /it for pub type isn't working (bringing back zero).

I had a great time at the Peer Review Congress @peerreviewcongress.bsky.social last week. Well planned and executed, top-notch presentations, and lots of thoughtful discussion. So happy to meet everyone from around the world and make new connections!

I’m pleased to experience the 10th Peer Review Congress and present with @mlrethlefsen.bsky.social! Our poster examines the perceptions and experiences of librarian peer reviewers for evidence synthesis methodologies. #prc2025

#RetractoBot auto-emails authors when papers they've cited are retracted. An RCT comparing it vs no notice showed no diffs in 1y citations @bengoldacre.bsky.social @ndevito1.bsky.social @bennettoxford.bsky.social @ox.ac.uk @oxprimarycare.bsky.social www.retracted.net/#RetractoBotcc: @retractionwatch.com

Oh hey if you're in #Baltimore and you like the #water and #sailing and #gettingoutside and #makingfriends, I'm trying to help my partner and his pals boost their newest sailing center, the #PeninsulaSailors! Join them for their first Open House! www.facebook.com/share/15hdjZ...

this just out APA Journals Policy on Generative AI: Additional Guidance www.apa.org/pubs/journal... via @apajournals.bsky.social

Bless librarians and their LibGuides! I am finding the guides so useful now!

I started off my morning with a visit to the dentist where it was bring your kid to work day and the hygienist had a lot of questions about why I'd changed jobs three times in the last year. Oh we're doing this? Ok!

To all my friends still in academia.... GOOD LUCK!

Oh happy day the most beautiful pool in the whole state of Maryland reopens tomorrow

PubMed seems to be terribly broken today. Thanks to a few librarians on the #medlibs listserv. Phrase searching is broken.

I'm playing in a production of Seussical the Musical for the next few weeks and there's a spot where Horton, an annoyed & grumpy elephant, looks at the audience and sings, "When worse comes to worse, as we all know it will..." in a very catchy show tune and it cracks me up.

Is the MeSH database misbehaving for anyone else?

I'm back after a much needed vacay, not esp restful but whatever

Heard from #AHRQ that the entire grants staff has been let go! They are unable to issue funds for grants already funded, let alone fund new grants. This is outrageous and will make Americans poorer and sicker. Why? A brief thread about just some recent AHRQ-funded research: #MedSky #HealthPolicy

"The authors aim to raise faculty awareness of proper sys review methodologies by offering alternative assignments that enhance student learning outcomes and alleviate the librarian’s teaching burden." Interesting paper 👇 Back & forth in this discussion about #SysReview is also very interesting!

Happy Friday everyone! I just posted what I think is an important blog post on my website. It is a critique of meta-meta-analyses: meta-analyses of meta-analyses. Link: matthewbjane.github.io/blog-posts/b... #stats #metascience

1. Kevin Gross and I just posted a new science-of-science preprint. This one explores the looming peer review crisis. As many of you know, it's becoming significantly more difficult for journal editors to find scholars willing to serve as peer reviewers for submitted manuscripts.

Today I had the pleasure to be a panelist in the session 'moving beyond journals' at the @royalsociety.org Future of Scientific Publishing conference. I argued that scientific publishing is going through a transformation addressing the challenges of openness, curation and meaningful dialogue.
