To celebrate the last day of #OpenAccessWeek a short thread about how New Harvest is working to democratize the building blocks of cellular agriculture through open science 🧫🥩 #OAWeek2021
The building blocks of cultured meat are cells, scaffolds, media, and bioreactors. Each of these components have yet to be optimized, standardized, etc. There isn't some "catalog" from which you can really order any of those building blocks.
That means there is a LOT of redundancy in what companies and researchers are working on. One goal of our research program has been to accelerate breakthroughs in each of those building blocks and have that research be public and usable by the entire field to build upon.

Today for our #OAWeek2020 series, a touchy subject: the JIF.
In our study of RPT documents, we wanted to know how important this metric is in the review and promotion process. (1/n)
In our study of RPT documents, we wanted to know how important this metric is in the review and promotion process. (1/n)
To find out, we looked at how often the Journal Impact Factor was mentioned in RPT documents, as well as how it was portrayed. (2/n)
It turns out, about ¼ of institutions explicitly mention the JIF in their tenure guidelines… but that number likely underestimates what’s really going on. (3/n)
