Does it involve not only producing dimly lit garbage?

Any indication of cost per kWh?

Any recommendations for writing manuscripts for scientific journals?

Wow, better have a big brain post ready to explain how someone who said all the right things was a terrible person and a criminal from top to bottom.

Don't compound credulity and naivety any further.

There desperately needs to be a fork of Firefox that sheds the terrible organisation that is Mozilla. They have destroyed a great product and paid themselves handsomely to do so. Technically incompetent, but full of cunning.

Mozilla - time to get that translation service to support chinese!

Conversion of methane into methanol is a large scale industrial process that underpins much of the chemical industry. This post's title is misleading, and the original title is slightly more informative: "New Method Converts Greenhouse Gas Into Fuel".

Great to see contributions from a fellow Suzhou Julia enthusiast.

Lack of support for Chinese or French is disappointing.

Anyone know how to download the Nature "Sharedit" pdfs?

Science needs more "technicians" of all types, and less PhD students. Good luck making that transformation though.

One of the worst aspects of this forum is the completely ignorant blaming of "big pharma" for any and all short-comings of health systems.

You can also use a one line JS bookmarklet on the article page, such as the following:

javascript:(function(){window.location = 'http://' + window.location.hostname + '.sci-hub.st' + window.location.pathname;})();

There is no carbon on the moon. Try sustaining anything without that element.

No one cares. It's publications, grants, and patents.

A chapter in a crappy text is worthless for tenure, grants etc. It doesn't count at all for meeting your publication goals.

Another publishing anecdote for the thread:

One of the big publishers asked me to write a chapter of a bioengineering textbook. Compensation? Digital access to the book for 12 months.

Not even a hardcopy!

Yeah, I take it as a professional or civic duty. I'm a junior professor, and am currently not getting paid while I wait until I can return to my campus. Covid has done a number on my lab, so I don't have a suitable grad student to help me at the moment. The company who publishes the journal makes plenty of money ...

I reviewed a submission (review paper) to a top journal recently. It took a lot of time, and I responded with seven pages of recommendations, comments, and corrections. My recommendation was to transfer it to a more specialist journal from the same publisher. Afterwards I was wondering "why the hell am I doing this for free when my friends are getting rich?"

“Reality is that which, when you stop believing in it, doesn’t go away.”

A quote that could certainly apply to research on biological systems. Just because you think you're smart, doesn't mean you can out think the system or even understand it.

Seems like GTK4 has some font rendering regressions:

Why do people here always want to reduce the equity and income of pharma and biotech scientists?

Good. They've created massive value.

Not for a while.

Any tips for Twitch?
