We've got ISSUES. Literally.

We scraped >100k special issues & over 1 million articles to bring you a PISS-poor paper. We quantify just how many excess papers are published by guest editors abusing special issues to boost their CVs. How bad is it & what can we do?

Where have the Christmas beetles gone? Christmas beetles, once the glittering party crashers of Australian summers, are vanishing.

β€˜tis the season to be aware of Christmas beetle decline.

β€œResearchers point to several possible causes including drought, climate change and the loss of eucalypt forest and woodland habitats, which are essential for the beetles’ survival.”

They don't do #science like they used to. In 1923, W. J. Baerg let a black widow #spider bite him so he could record a minute by minute account of the effects.

"5:15. Arrived at hospital and went to bed."

Yes its a series. No he didn't die.
