@RolandDunbrack Caught 😂

Well at least try to be consistent with your statement: You cited your own preprint in a Nature Cell Biology review and in one of your own preprints, but won't cite other people's preprints. In fact, you are two of the 8 citations of your own preprint: scholar.google.com/scholar?cites=…

@NaturePortfolio @parmita Lol!

@parmita FYI, the article is free to read (if it's not, please let us know because it should be): nature.com/articles/35673…

For the sake of Aaron Swartz I beg you to make this shit stop.

Today is the last opportunity to send a postcard from Antarctica 🐧📮🇦🇶 Don’t miss your final chance to send a truly unique message from the frozen south. Closes 17.00 (GMT) | Expected arrival early March shop.ukaht.org/products/postc…

🌍❄️ Happy Antarctica Day! ❄️🌍 66 years ago, nations chose cooperation over competition and signed the Antarctic Treaty. Today we celebrate a continent dedicated to peace and science, while remembering its future isn’t guaranteed. Here’s to protecting Antarctica, together. 💙❄️

@MicrobiomDigest @Marc_Young_90 True 🤣🤣

@Marc_Young_90 Behind every ad-hominem attack on a scientist is a very crappy paper.

iNaturalist is down?

Amazing talk by Prof. Helen Bostock about climate science in Antarctica 🇦🇶

BREAKING: The 2025 Noble Prize for Medicine has been awarded to RFK Jr. for “taking bold action to reduce life expectancies in the USA”. By undermining the health system, RFK Jr. has led the charge to combat the USA's aging population and prevent a pension crisis.

@AntarcticHT POV "I regret to inform you that your manuscript..."

Caption this! 🐧 📸 UKAHT/Kirsty Dick

Had an amazing time at @SETAC_AU !! 🤗 Had the opportunity to meet amazing peeps, explore Wellington and heaps of fun! 📚 #PhDlife

@RetractionWatch I read the article, but the truth is that Google Scholar is not a reliable source of metrics. Altered metrics, fake citations, non-peer reviewed papers, duplicates and even fake profiles are all over the place. If institutions are using GS as a reference, they should change.

East Antarctica faces unprecedented threats: record 38.5°C heat in 2022, 28°C heatwave in 2024. Its ice sheet holds 80% of Earth’s freshwater, enough to raise sea levels by 52m. Fishing for krill & toothfish continues without protections. 📷️ John Weller

Let’s talk about the dark side of plastic research: A) Most micro/nanoplastics papers are reviews, not data 📄 (doi.org/10.1016/j.envi…) B) Some highly cited, globally hyped papers are just bad—e.g., no proper blanks (doi.org/10.1073/pnas.2…) #microplastics #nanoplastics

Words cannot describe what is it like to step out and see Antarctica for the first time 🗻 In our newest publication, we discussed the conservation challenges in Antarctica under increasing plastic and microplastic pollution 🇦🇶 🔗 Check it out: sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

The Trump administration is planning to shut down the EPA’s scientific research unit, hurting its ability to do research on the dangers of toxic chemicals and climate change. on.nrdc.org/4mfUw1Q

Antarctica is changing. Sea ice is shrinking, krill fishing rising, wildlife under stress. Science is clear—collective action must follow. Protecting Antarctica is our shared duty. reuters.com/sustainability…
