Good one

Major academic publishers' revenue and what they pay authors and reviewers: Revenue: Elsevier: $3.9 billion Springer Nature: $2 billion Taylor & Francis: $800M Wiley: $1.8 billion They pay: Academic authors: $0 Peer reviewers: $0

A way to solve is to instantly and globally move to another system set up by the funding agencies and will pay for all work involved, including peer review. It might not not be cheaper but would be fairer.

Great opportunity to join our group Laboratory of Plant Physiology, Wageningen U&R as a PhD student, studying the role of root plasticity in drought resilience, as part of the national CropXR program. Deadline 18 Nov. More information & application wur.nl/en/vacancy/phd…

Attending #LRUA24 long read sequencing conference in Uppsala. Exciting talks, well organised, great networking and meeting again with the LongTREC group.

Long reads transcriptomics workshop starting at #LRUA24 LongTREC

WP3 partners explored how #climate stress (heat, drought) affects #tuber formation in #potatoes 🌱🥔 Using gene variants & functional genomics 🧬, they identified key molecular regulators of tuberisation, providing novel tools to predict yield impact. 👉shorturl.at/c2daN

#LRUA24 LongTREC

Challenges in Allele-specific expression tackled LongTREC #LRUA24

WP5 partners created tools like the #StressKnowledgeMap, enabling data integration and insights into stress responses in #potatoes 📊🥔 These new tools support fast data integration & yield prediction also applicable to similar studies in other crops! 👉shorturl.at/WwqMo

This is Toxicologist Yvonne Burkart. She's spent years researching what's REALLY damaging our bodies. Her message? We have no idea just how toxic our modern lifestyle is... Here are 8 things you need to STOP doing (they're poisoning your body):

"Consilience" is the idea that all knowledge should eventually interlock, producing a unified understanding of reality. Below is a network showing this unity, as measured by co-citations. It appears the humanities never received this memo, and have now reached escape velocity!

Genetically modified crops are extensively tested for safety and efficacy before being approved. Anyone who tells you otherwise is lying.

Looking at bioinformaticians’ profiles these days, you'd think everyone has decades of experience in cutting-edge single-cell and AI-driven bioinformatics. But something’s missing… 👇

Academics are paid nothing for peer review. Yet journals made a total of over $8.3 billion on article processing charges alone between 2019-2023. Make it make sense.

I am proud to work in agriculture. Higher yields saved land. Higher yields fed billions. How? Science. → Better seeds. → Better fertilisers. → Better farming techniques. People who say “go back to nature” actually want “go back to hunger”.
