For decades, researchers thought that, in nature, only enzymes could transform organic phosphorus into its bioavailable, inorganic form, free phosphate ions. New research shows that naturally occurring iron oxide minerals also act as catalysts: cen.acs.org/environment/Na… .

Fabricating data, throwing shade at other scientists and getting lots of citations: some say that's how to survive in academia. It's also how to win ‘Publish or Perish’ — a new card game that might hit close to home for researchers In nature w Max Bai nature.com/articles/d4158…
