Es una absoluta falta de respeto y una desconsideración de la importancia de la actividad investigadora en la universidad. Esos fondos son finalistas, se asignan a la universidad para desarrollar proyectos específicos y no pueden ser utilizados para cubrir otros déficits. La vicerrectora de investigación tiene que oponerse a ello y enfrentarse si es necesario a gerente, vicerrectora económica y quien haga falta. Y el Rector debería recordar qué pasó cuando en otras crisis anteriores la universidad también cedió a la tentación de usar los fondos de investigación para tapar urgencias económicas…

BIG ANNOUNCEMENT📣: I haven’t been this excited to be part of something new in 15 years… Thrilled to reveal the passion project I’ve been working on for the past year and a half!🙀🥳 It started from my frustration with the depressing effect that the current publishing system has on the well-being of myself, my team, and pretty much every scientist I know (maybe you’ve noticed from my stupid jokes… :) I was exhausted of dealing with the huge delays, reviewers that can be abusive, and how arbitrary it all is. Unfortunately, the most important factors are often WHO your reviewers are and who YOU are... It’s clear we need alternatives or at least ways to improve the situation. So, together with a really special and talented team we worked to develop this idea into “qed” a platform where you can get CONSTRUCTIVE feedback on your own work or CRITICALLY assess other people’s papers. It can be a real difference maker if many of you join us (thousands have tried it already, but today we release a NEW and much stronger version ;) Let’s harness qed to put the power back in the scientists’ hands, to do, to read & to publish science on our own terms. I’m dying for you to TRY IT, and it’s very simple - just drop a paper (the link to the website is in the replies👇) - it’s completely secure, private, and free, and you get results fast. Please show your support, SHARE, tell your friends, and let’s be the revolution 🫵!
