It is an interesting idea, but peer-replication is probably too much additional work to be a real solution to problems in academic research. Rather I think we should specifically fund replication efforts with 1-5% of total grant budget #academicchatter […]

If you start a war and kill innocent people and take no action to bring war crimes to justice then you are a terrorist and war criminal. No wonder that US consulates, travellers, expats and businesses are less safe now.

If you start a war of aggression with a massive bombing campaign, then you are intentionally murdering civilians. 1

Reviewing should be like jury service. You have a chance of being randomly selected, then the funder or journal calls up your institution and they have to give you two weeks off, or whatever, and you bash out as many reviews as you can in that time #academicchatter

RE: https://flipboard.social/@newsguyusa/116170722622885146 Just confirming that the US administration has absolutely no idea about geopolitics or governance in general

In 2011, Roger Peng laid out the gameplan to integrate computational reproducibility into the academic ecosystem. Based on the quality of some of the manuscripts I've reviewed lately, our progress on implementing this is abysmal. In fact we're probably going backwards. Descriptions of methods […]

RE: https://aus.social/@ARC_Tracker/116168088663084355 With funding bodies like this it is truly a wonder that any fundamental research gets done in Australia at all. When it can take over 2 years to go from having an idea to starting work on something you can certainly forget about doing […]

About the Iran attack: 1. Preemptive attack is a violation of UN 2. Missile attacks cannot overthrow a govt or destroy underground nuclear facility - significant ground forces are reqd 3. Ground attacks will incur significant losses 4. Historically speaking, ground attacks on the other side of […]

It has been four years since russia invaded Ukraine. Four years of resistance, innovation and sheer determination. Sanctions are working, our support is making a difference to help the heroes defend their country. We need to keep up the pressure at all levels. In the end #ukraine will be VICTORIOUS!

Youtube just asked me to verify my age so I decided to try something out. Chose the selfie method, search "head" on sketchfab and point the camera to my computer screen. Worked like a charm. 🤡🤡🤡🤡

@wildhornets.bsky.social The best proof of the effectiveness of interceptor STING drones is the words of our warriors ❤️‍🔥 “The best drone we’ve ever used,” wrote southern border guards after nearly 20 Shaheds shot down in a single week.

One thing that Snowden warned us about was "turnkey tyrrany"; the fact that the surveillance apparatus was set up outside of parliament oversight and power concentrated to the executive. It's pretty much playing out exactly as he warned...

Based on what the USA is doing (and what Ukraine has gone through), it is a clear signal that every country needs nukes to protect itself, and anti proliferation is dead

Invading other countries and stealing their stuff is bad. Free countries should be severing any ties with the US regime right now

Aggressor states must be isolated, punished.

Ukraine military continues to take out russian shadow fleet tankers. With increasing insurance costs, this could cut russian access to the Mediteranean. Excellent analysis from "What's Going on With Shipping?" channel https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4kQ6cngw0Ns

Holy shit RAM prices have gone nuts. In August I built a workstation with 192GB DDR5 costing $758 AUD for the memory. Same memory now would cost $2498 #ram

I directly helped a single human today (someone I really don’t “know”) and it is one of the most rewarding feelings ever. Help (freely) others, folks. You know things others don’t. You have experience they do not. You are amazing. So are they. This is how we get out of this mess and thrive.

My tip to academics - never publish in Elsevier journals. They are charging exorbident APCs like a mafia. If you get a lot of review invitations, always reply with a demand for 10% of the APC for the peer review. I'm not doing free work for those parasites.
