It has come to our attention that some people are suggesting that "dog paper" was accepted because reviewers are busy people and
"is same as physics journal accepting a paper with fake data"

To dispel such notions, we shall publish reviewer comments to Dog rape paper.

It starts off slow and fairly optimistic, with paper being rejected (they almost dodged the bullet here, didn't theEE
EEE wait a minute... oh... oh wow, "animals and black feminist geographies", now that's an unfortunate turn of phrase...

Because I do believe that it's important to know the history of your field and inspired by @carlzimmer @matthewcobb & Michel Morange's books that contain some fantastic material for teaching, a thread with some #classicpaper in #molecularbiology #DNA

One of the world’s most chilling ruins is the Ploutonion at Hierapolis, “the Gates to Hell”.

Here crowds watched priests lead animal sacrifices down into a cave, where they died mysteriously as if dragged down to the underworld. And no one knew how they did it until recently.
Hierapolis was a city built on a plateau over the modern Turkish site of Pamukkale, meaning “cotton cliffs”.

This unique landscape was formed as calcium deposits bubbled from thermal springs & formed cliffs of white limestone.
The city was founded as a thermal spa early in the 2nd century BCE, & rose to prominence as a place where thermal waters could heal ailments.

It became a Roman possession when Attalus III, King of Pergamon bequeathed his entire kingdom to Rome on his death.

By popular demand, #NeuroThursday will tackle last weekend's big psychological finding in the author world: this study that supposedly claims people read faster with 2 spaces after a period. washingtonpost.com/news/speaking-…
The upshot is: some researchers got a group of people who naturally write with 1 space or 2 space, and made them read both kinds of text. The two-spacer people read a tiny bit faster when they saw 2-space text. But.
Now, there's an easy answer why this article is wrong. Let me start there and get it out of the way so I can then tell you something more subtle & interesting.

1. The sleeping giant is slowly awakening to the corruption that is enslaving us all.

Once this giant has fully awoken we shall be unstoppable.

Public awakening is their greatest fear.

#QAnon @POTUS @realDonaldTrump
2. It’s essential that #WeThePeople understand how #Corruption in the pharmaceutical industry has a stronghold on people.

#QAnon @POTUS @realDonaldTrump
3. This long & detailed thread will shine light on corruption in the vaccine and cancer industry.

These are complicated & touchy parts of the #DeepState rabbithole for obvious reasons but facing the #Truth is very important.

The truth shall set everyone #free.

Let's talk Lipoprotein(a) and cardiovascular disease risk.

(Hereafter,

Lp(a)=Lipoprotein(a),
CVD=cardiovascular disease.)

Thread. 1/n
Lp(a) blood level show a dose-response relationship to cardiovascular disease risk in multiple studies, and Lp(a) is now widely considered a reliable marker for CVD risk.

Here is a graph showing ~4-fold increased risk at >95th-percentile Lp(a) level.

[Above is adjusted for age (left) and multifactorially (right). Latter: age, total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, triglycerides, apoB, BMI, hypertension, DM, smoking, lipid-lowering therapy, and, for women, menopause and HRT.] 3/n

So much disaster & emergency management research exists.

No one reads it. Let's change this.

My twitter resolution is to post one journal article a day for the whole year.

#EmergencyManagement101 #EMGTwitter #SciComm
(I’ll post open source articles when available but if you can't access an article DM and I will send you a copy.)
Let’s start at the beginning. Samuel Prince’s 1920 dissertation is credited with being the first systematic social analysis of a disaster.
