#newPI What do you do when references of applicants to your lab don’t respond to your multiple requests to meet to discuss the candidate? How often do you contact them? What do you do when they don’t respond? When do you give up? Trying to figure out a fair way to deal with this.

Incredible 🧵 on the effects of predatory publishing on the overall scientific publishing market. Worth reading all 33 posts and the article linked below

Mark A. Hanson @hansonmark.bsky.social · Sep 29

The strain on scientific publishing 📄:

We've got issues. Scientists overwhelmed, editors overworked, constant special issue invites, mass article retractions, journal delistings… JUST WHAT IS GOING ON!?

The goal of the mentor should be for their scientist-in-training to supersede them in achievements, by providing them with even more opportunities and support than they ever had.
