Oh dear. There is more to what Holden was conveying. One slide is one point. It is not the full representation. It is times like these I wish social media platforms required more of us before posting.
One reason for loving science is how graciously we sometimes deal with errors. www.science.org/doi/full/10....

We have a new paper in Science today on how malicious AI swarms can threaten democracy.
AI systems can already coordinate autonomously, infiltrate communities, and fabricate social consensus.

How are journals responding to new pressures on the scientific enterprise? Join the SciPak team at the AAAS Annual Meeting for a briefing with the Editors-in-Chief of 3 journals to discuss how they're refining editorial practices to strengthen rigor & transparency. meetings.aaas.org/attend-phx/r...
The rarest of sights - a big glossy journal publishing negative replications! Yes, we had to bundle 4 replications into one article AND we had to wait 2 (!!) years in peer review, but here we are:

What should we focus on in the next chapter of public access history? In this two-part story out this week on @aaas.org's site, I argue that what’s crucial now is building channels of meaning in open scientific literature (and in all scientific literature). www.aaas.org/news/next-fr...
Thanks Anil
Man, I love the sciences and Science Magazine (@science.org).
If you can, give to the American Association for the Advancement of Science. Science needs funding. Science needs the advocacy and scholarship that AAAS provides.
You can help.

Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is a leading cause of blindness. Patients show vascular changes in their retinas long before vision starts to deteriorate.
What triggers these early defects? Could targeting them prevent vision loss? 🧵
The team is already working to expand the platform’s abilities, including testing in clinically relevant immune and stem cells, and engineering future versions of the system that can rearrange sequences beyond one megabase.

During #PeerReviewWeek, @science.org
heard from individual authors who talked about how peer review strengthened their work, making it functionally richer, more accessible, more pointed regarding limitations--sometimes in collaboration with preprint review. See author posts in thread below. 🧵
White text on a red background: Science thanks each of our reviewers for their critical contribution. #PeerReviewWeek
Increasing the breadth of researchers trained as peer reviewers is crucial to upholding quality in academic publishing. Last year, the Science journals began a pilot in which invited peer reviewers could add trainees as co-reviewers, with more than 2200 scientists participating. #PeerReviewWeek
yep - and in some ways Science did this with the technical comments. but none of this is evident in the citation, PubMed record, search result, PDF, etc. unless the paper is formally retracted
The 2010 paper claiming arsenic-based life has been retracted by Science today. 🧪

Downs et al. have developed a data-assimilation technique to simulate the Sun's corona. Satellite observations are incorporated on the fly and model predictions update hourly, akin to weather forecasting. They applied the method to the 2024 total solar eclipse. 🔭🧪☀️

“We are global leaders [in science],” France Córdova said. “We should be proud of that. But we didn’t get here by accident. It has taken nearly a century of effort — and it can be undone much faster than we think.” www.forbes.com/sites/johndr...
