@devoevomed.bsky.socialReposted by @liisagalea.bsky.socialProtamines sound super cool, because they are, they evolve, superfast, and are of the first examples of positive selection at the gene level!
@michaelhendricks.bsky.socialReposted by @liisagalea.bsky.socialSome thoughts on the CIHR Project survey. I am very concerned about panicked “do something” changes in the face of declining success rates and rising app pressure. The same thing that lead to several years of stepping on rakes during the “Reforms.”
@michaelhendricks.bsky.socialReposted by @liisagalea.bsky.socialMore CIHR musings, because I think we don't actually know what's going on in important ways that might influence how we think about prospective solutions. These are questions CIHR could answer if it wanted to.

@labwaggoner.bsky.socialReposted by @liisagalea.bsky.socialDoes the postmenopausal ovary still matter?
Ovaries may influence health long after their reproductive function ends

She hence faced more severe consequences than most of the men who she alleges gang-raped her."

@annaalexandrova.bsky.socialReposted by @liisagalea.bsky.socialHere’s the especially depressing bit: “peer review reports and funding recommendations have “suddenly become much longer, more detailed and complex”. Colleagues, what are you doing?
@liisagalea.bsky.socialIt’s one of the worst things about peer review. This is why I love the concept of consolidated reviews (eNeuro) but in practice a lot of editors didn’t do it. It also required associate editors to READ all the manuscripts assigned to them. Which was also super helpful or should be in theory
@liisagalea.bsky.socialThe editor really should have identified the conflicting comments and triaged them for you. (& I’m sorry that completely sucks)
@jwoodgett.bsky.socialReposted by @liisagalea.bsky.socialThis is an excellent idea (and Montreal is a great host city).

Don't you dare let any of your friends and neighbours stay home!
