¡Hola!
Como veo mucho seguidor nuevo y creo que es porque estoy en una lista de divulgadores, me presento: trabajo investigando enfermedades raras y desarrollando medicamentos "genéticos". No soy divulgadora, pero a veces hago cositas de divulgación.
En este hilo enlazo algunas que están grabadas:

“When there’s so much misinformation around and distrust about science, it’s more important than ever that we are transparent about how exactly science goes on” - RoRI's @scurry.bsky.social calls on the research sector to end the “publication bias” against negative results: tinyurl.com/ux5xtm4d

Very honest and very good World View from Severine Toussaert
www.nature.com/articles/d41..., one that is very much in tune with our recent proposals for a framework to incentivise publication of negative or null results: journals.plos.org/plosbiology/...
Six journal rejections and a major rethink: why I’m happy to admit to my research failures, and you should too
Outlining the trial-and-error processes that are involved in every research project could help others to become more efficient and paint a more honest picture of life as a researcher.

Grateful to @resprofnews.bsky.social for doing a write-up of our call for action to incentivise the publication of negative results. Now looking for world-leading funders and institutions to show some leadership on this issue…

Research funders urged to drive culture shift on negative results.

Reform needed to improve trust in science, patient care and training of AI, advocates say.

I get that the news cycle is packed right now, but I just heard from a colleague at the Smithsonian that this is fully a GIANT SQUID BEING EATEN BY A SPERM WHALE and it’s possibly the first ever confirmed video according to a friend at NOAA

Some scientists aren’t waiting for journals to catch up. They’re showing us what’s next.

The Beyond the Journal awards honor those breaking the mold in how science is shared.

Before treatment patients must be in good health, have no antibodies to AAV (based on a recent test), vaccinations must be up to date. Especially when patients are non ambulant, cardiorespiratory function needs to be taken into account.

For every Nobel that goes to a criminally under-recognized woman scientist (Brunkow, Karikó), or fails to go (Candy Lee), a week of mourning and reform for an academic system wherein you can do Nobel-prize-worthy-work and still end up without a conceivable path to being a professor.

BREAKING: The Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine has been awarded jointly to Mary E. Brunkow, Fred Ramsdell, and Shimon Sakaguchi "for their discoveries concerning peripheral immune tolerance"

Stay tuned for more.
