Fantômette strikes back!

Dr. Carol Tilley 🏳️‍🌈 @anuncivilphd.bsky.social · 4d

"It has emerged that a very similar heist was outlined in one of the 52 volumes of a popular children’s book series beginning in the 1960s that stars Fantômette, a girl crime-fighter aged about 12 who is often described as France’s first female superhero."

Some real fake news! Paper mills are creating fake authors who can then serve as fake reviewers. The illustration of the fake reviewer sitting at their desk is excellent. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Are we still having the ICM in Philly next year?
