🚨 2-year post-doc position available in my lab. More details below. Please repost! acrobat.adobe.com/id/urn:aaid:...

I've long argued that MDPI's commercial practices aren't all that different to the other big commercial publishers, but it's still funny to see Springer Nature "literally carbon copying MDPI titles – just pricing them lower to lure scientists in".

🚨 New paper! We generated one of the largest datasets of Plasmodium falciparum genotypes & genomes from asymptomatic infections in The Gambia over 2.5 years. (1/2) elifesciences.org/articles/103...

This collaboration with Gwladys Bertin (IRD Paris) was started 12 years ago, it's finally published! We tracked P. falciparum in kids with severe malaria & found that new haplotypes emerge after treatment begins - missed at admission! www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/jour...

Nature has built its business on unpaid reviewers and now writes an article about unpaid labor in academia… How ironic.

OK, here is my very first tweet (or whatever sound a butterfly makes?). I'd like to publish a dataset of P.f. PacBio genomes. "Scientific Data" would be an appropriate Journal, but I'm trying to avoid Springer/Elsevier like the plague. Anybody knows a suitable nonprofit alternative Journal?
