"an excellent pedantic study that has to be read by anyone who works in biomedical SERS analysis" (Reviewer 2) 😆
Finally published! After years of work and some rejections, here’s our take on the biochemical interpretation of SERS spectra of serum. Title might have also been "Why most research findings based on SERS of serum are false"... check it out 👉 rdcu.be/eQpW3
Who could ever have imagined when I played a fictional rebel who joined the Resistance to oppose a criminal Authoritarian & wannabe King, it would be happening in real-life?

Apparentely Raman spectroscopy finds organic molecules on Mars. Could not get beyond the paywall, though...😞

Here's mine: invest in education. Better public, free education. Everything starts from there. Change my mind.
This is, I think, the most serious problem we have right now. Solutions?

America is complicit in the slaughter of the Palestinian people.
2.2 million people are trapped. Disease is spreading. Children are starving to death.
And we continue to provide U.S. military aid to Netanyahu.
This week, the British government is in the High Court defending the indefensible: its continuing approval of arms exports to Israel.

Comunque la si pensi - chi ha torto e chi ha ragione, chi ha iniziato, se è un #genocidio o meno - c’è un fatto disumano che nessuno può ignorare
A #Gaza si continua a morire di bombe, di fame, di sete, di soccorsi bloccati, di silenzi
This is what a rigged economy looks like:
In the 1970s, CEOs made 27 times more than the average worker.
In the 1980s, CEOs made 48 times more than the average worker.
This decade, CEOs are making 354 times more than the average worker.
That has got to change.
A photo of Max Planck President Patrick Cramer and the words: "Threats to science anywhere are threat to science everywhere".
In an open letter of support to the President of @harvard.edu, Max Planck President Patrick Cramer @patrick-cramer.maxplanck.de has expressed his full support of the University in its stance against demands by the Trump administration to change its policies in order to retain federal funding.
This statement from the NSF is insane.
Science is, in essence, designed to separate the true from the false.
Understanding how falsehoods spread is key to the scientific endeavor. It is not a violation of free speech to be proven wrong.
We are organizing a #SERS #Raman MRS symposium in #Cancun Deadline for abstract submission is May 1st. Feel free to email any of the organizers for more information. Great conference and nice beach are powerful combination for good science, networking and fun😀
Bluesky has overtaken its flailing rival X in hosting posts related to new academic research, indicating the platform is fast becoming the go-to place for scholars to share their work

I have run out of patience with the apparent silence of most US science institutions (and not just US) in the face of Trump & Musk's rampage. There are of so many facets of that, but in this column for @chemistryworld.com I talk about the assaults on inclusion.

“Until we acknowledge that publish or perish is the natural consequence of the rankings obsession, we’re not going to fix anything.”
Our Ivan Oransky speaks with @nature.com.
The strain on scientific publishing: we set out to characterise the remarkable growth of the scientific literature in the last few years, in spite of declining growth in total scientists. What is going on?

There is no greater gift to disinformers than to pretend that truth is a matter of consensus or that the protection of free speech requires giving a megaphone to liars.
Infographic on baking soda and baking powder. Baking soda is sodium bicarbonate, which breaks down when heated or mixed with acid to produce carbon dioxide as a raising agent. Baking powders also contain sodium bicarbonate but also contain an acid or acidic salt to release carbon dioxide during both mixing and baking.
It’s the #GBBO final tonight 🧁
Do you know your baking powder from your baking soda? Here's a look at the difference between the two and how they're used in baking in @cenmag.bsky.social: cen.acs.org/food/food-sc...

The Economist covered our "Strain on scientific publishing" paper.
What is this all about?
We collectively churn out more & more papers *per scientist*, an increasing pace, in a rapidly changing publication landscape.
Why? How? Want to make sense of this? 🧵
