@anish_koka @stefano_garzon Agreed, the analysis is superb. But the question remain: final outcome seems to favours Canada. How to explain that paradox? Thanks for sharing!

No question we shld be better in many respects , and I spend a fair deal of time discussing how to make the US system better with regards to financial toxicity.. but the story I’m telling is a critical access issue that is available to all Americans regardless of insurance , that is left out by the dominant narrative.

There is a story that gets told about American healthcare -- The story goes like this: American healthcare is uniquely broken, uniquely inequitable, uniquely cruel to the most vulnerable. Our peer nations have figured out what we have not. Only problem: the story is made up.🧵

@ivanfamil Uno de los seres humanos más valientes. Por suerte su pueblo lo recuerda. En las fotos en el juicio siempre cubre sus dedos sin uñas. Lo primero que hicieron los comunistas en cualquier país "liberado" fue eliminar a quienes habían combatido a los nazis.

El régimen soviético censuró su nombre y prohibió absolutamente cualquier mención a sus hazañas durante décadas. Hubo que esperar hasta la caída del Muro de Berlín en 1989 para que el mundo conociera a Witold Pilecki, el hombre más valiente de la Segunda Guerra Mundial.

¿Qué clase de loco decide caminar voluntariamente hacia las garras de la Gestapo para dejarse encerrar en el peor infierno de la historia de la humanidad? Un hombre se infiltró en Auschwitz por voluntad propia para destruirlo desde dentro. Witold Pilecki. Tira del hilo 🧵👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽

@EvaVlaar Warsaw, Riga, Tallin, Vilnius, Krakow...

Budapest is the only major city in Europe that keeps getting better. Every year it’s more vibrant, cleaner, and more beautiful. Every other European city just gets worse. Especially Paris, London, and Berlin are just terrible. Shows you the difference good leadership makes.

@alex_chenkov waiting for the IPO. Keep up the good work 🇺🇦🇱🇻

Hey everyone, I finally landed properly on X — right after my response to Rheinmetall’s СЕО. Perfect timing to introduce myself. I’m Oleksandr Yakovenko, founder of TAF Industries — one of Ukraine’s largest drone manufacturers. In 2022, right after the full-scale invasion, money was never my goal. I founded the charity foundation to deliver critical supplies to over 200 military units. It was pure volunteer work. But charity wasn’t enough. The front needed effective and affordable ways to strike the enemy. So in late 2023 I launched TAF. What started as a wartime volunteer project has grown into industrial-scale production: strike drones, reconns UAVs, EW systems, interceptors and over 30 combat-proven solutions. We run our own R&D center, iterate weekly from real battlefield feedback, and operate a distributed network that survives under missile strikes. The future of warfare is cost-effectiveness. Not the most expensive platform, but the one that delivers maximum effect for minimum cost. The recent Iran conflict proved it again: cheap Shahed drones ($20k–50k) force billion-dollar air defenses to burn through multimillion-dollar interceptors. The math is merciless. We understand the concern of traditional monopolists earning billions on ineffective legacy platforms. Change is uncomfortable — Nokia and Kodak felt the same. Yet while they worry, we’re already moving forward: we’ve established a joint venture in Germany with local partner and are receiving the first orders, turning Ukrainian combat experience into European industrial capacity. I’m here not for profit margins, but to strengthen Ukraine’s defense, bring more soldiers home alive, and share real-war expertise through honest partnerships. Open to connecting with military professionals, defence experts, and serious international partners. Let’s talk — even with those who still believe it’s 1979.

@Spottingthespot @SciReports @TimKersjes @SpringerNature My experience with @SciReports Got sent a 100% ChatGPT paper to review: 56 fake references. Told the editor, said—'ah ok, reject'. Escalated to EiC: 'nothing we can do", so they're only here to waste reviewers' time.

Hey @SciReports is this some sort of joke?? @TimKersjes @SpringerNature please act ASAP. This is an abomination! 👇How the hell did this ever pass peer review, editorial processes??? doi.org/10.1038/s41598…

Iba a ocurrir y ha ocurrido: unos autores acaban de publicar un artículo académico que cita un supuesto trabajo mío... que no he escrito ni existe. Apunta a que han usado IA y esta ha fabulado la bibliografía. ¿Reclamo a los autores? ¿A la revista? ¿Qué se hace en estos casos?

@fake_journals I do

Do editors actually read manuscript cover letters? When you submit a manuscript, one of the standard requirements is a cover letter. Most journals ask for it. Most submission systems have a dedicated upload box for it. And most authors dutifully write one. ________________________________________ But I have always wondered something. Does anyone actually read them? A typical cover letter tends to repeat what is already in the submission system: ⚫️ The title of the paper ⚫️ A short summary of the contribution ⚫️ Confirmation that the work is original ⚫️ A statement that it is not under consideration elsewhere ⚫️ Sometimes a polite sentence explaining why the journal is a good fit All perfectly reasonable. But most of this information already appears in the abstract, the metadata fields, or the journal’s submission forms. I sometimes wonder whether the cover letter is necessary… or whether it has simply become a ritual we all follow and, in reality, there is no need for it. ________________________________________ My own habit Over the years, I have often kept cover letters extremely short, if I write one at all. Sometimes just a few sentences. My assumption has always been simple: editors are busy, and the manuscript itself should do the talking. But I know many researchers who take the opposite view. They see the cover letter as essential, particularly for: ⚫️ Explaining novelty ⚫️ Positioning the paper within the journal’s scope ⚫️ Highlighting why the work matters ________________________________________ So I am curious. From your experience: Do editors actually read the cover letter? Do you always write one, even when it is not required? Or is it mostly a formality in the submission process?

Gratuidad en educación superior: hasta 2025, la diferencia entre lo proyectado en el Informe Financiero original y el costo efectivo ya suma US$4.400 millones adicionales. Esta brecha podría alcanzar US$11.000 millones hacia el final de la década. 👇

@klaasm67 The cenotaph in Jelgava, Latvia, rememebering Katyn

On this day in 1940 Joseph Stalin and 5 other members of the Soviet Politbureau, sign an order for the execution of 25,700 Polish intelligentsia, including 14,700 Polish POWs, in what will become known as the Katyn massacre. Never forget. 🇵🇱

Most academic frauds aren't sophisticated masterminds. These guys were publishing totally fabricated case studies for a quarter of a century until Juurlink bothered to ask "Wait is this actually true?" and the author just said "Nope".

EpiSMILE is Latvia's first epidemiological study of dental health in 6–8-year-old children. Primary outcomes: caries prevalence in primary dent + frequency/severity of MIH, a developmental enamel defect with no info prevalence data in Latvia. Info: oralhealthresearch.lv/newsroom

In the photos, Witold Pilecki hides his hands because his fingernails had been torn out during brutal interrogation by the communists before his show trial, which began on 3 March 1948. He is considered one of the greatest wartime heroes. He was the only man who volunteered to be sent to the German Death Camp in Auschwitz to organise resistance and gather intelligence about the German atrocities. In 1943, Witold Pilecki escaped from Auschwitz to join the Home Army (AK). The communists later captured him, brutally tortured, falsely accused of espionage, and ultimately sentenced to death.
