“A new study from Northwestern University warns that coordinated scientific fraud is becoming increasingly common. From fabricated data to purchased authorships and paid citations, researchers say organized groups are manipulating the academic publishing system. To investigate the issue, scientists combined large scale analysis of scientific publications with detailed case studies. While misconduct is often portrayed as the work of individual researchers cutting corners, the Northwestern team discovered something far more complex. Their findings reveal global networks of people and organizations working together to systematically exploit weaknesses in the publishing process. The scale of the problem is striking. According to the researchers, traudulent studies are now appearing at a faster rate than legitimate scientific publications. The authors say the findings should serve as a warning to the scientific community to strengthen safeguards before public trust in s E ence begins to erode.”
“This study is probably the most depressing project I've been involved with in my entire life…It's distressing to see others engage in fraud &in misleading others. But if you believe that science is useful & important for humanity, then you have to fight for it”🧪

A hand holds a small twig with tiny cup shaped fungi containing egg like structures
Sooooo the horrors persist but fortunately so do the woods. Look at this teeny tiny birds nest fungus I found this weekend. The “eggs” are peridioles - little capsules of spores - that get launched out of the cup when they are hit by a raindrop 🧪🍄
Hitting desalination plants is so bad. Not just evil but strategically incomprehensible. Without desalination 75% of the entire population of the Middle East will be refugees. Israel and Kuwait depend on desalination for 90% of their water and other Middle East states aren’t far behind.
Love these...

Tehran was already on the brink of running out of water.
Now, even the rain is contaminated.

It felt great to @standupforscience.bsky.social today in LA! I learned more about SB 895, a $23 billion USD state bill to fund California Science & Health Research. Make sure to vote for it in November! shorturl.at/JVIsm 🧪🌎
This is figure 1, which shows the anatomy of A. cerropoliciensis based on the new specimen MPCA Pv 377.
A paper in Nature presents a nearly complete fossil of a dinosaur from Argentina that would have weighed less than 1 kg when alive and may be the smallest known dinosaur from South America discovered to date. go.nature.com/4kVlgox #Paleosky 🧪
Likewise!
The image shows two figures, a and b. Figure a shows a map of Europe with thermal positions indicated by color-coded hexagons, ranging from -1.0 to 1.0. Arrows point to "Reduced negative impacts" and "Increased negative impacts." Figure b shows a scatter plot of effect size vs thermal position with a fish illustration on top. "Biomass change estimates" indicated by circle size.
A study published in Nature Ecology & Evolution reports that long-term ocean warming reduces global fish biomass by up to 19.8% annually. Warmer years and marine heatwaves were linked to sharp biomass losses of up to 43.4%. go.nature.com/40b6AIB 🧪 🌍

This looks great & I thought it might interest you too
Thanks for sharing, Dawn... cycling can be such a joy!
Rubio: “Let me tell you, Iran is run by lunatics, religious fanatic lunatics.”
Israel is employing the same destructive strategies in Iran that it previously utilised in Gaza.
The same technological pinpoint accuracy that was used to slaughter children in Gaza now being used to slaughter children in Iran.
This is what systemic collapse looks like — not abstract, but structural.
In Suicide we trace how political and economic denial is steering us toward global self-destruction — and how to resist it.
