People who say "you can't possibly read everything you cite" are saying a lot about themselves, IMO.

It doesn't have to be a heavy lift. I spend about half an hour a day processing new-to-me papers by organizing them in my reference managers & adding topical tags so I can create bibliographies.

Did you all forget about Odai?
Odai was injured by a quadcopter over a year and a half ago.
Since that day, his life full of pain, inflammation
He still can’t walk normally, and his medications have run out.
Everyone moved on
but Odai is still here, suffering in silence.💔

Look at our situation...
Our homes have been destroyed, our security has been lost, and all that's left for us is hunger and pain.
Today, we are slowly dying from malnutrition, oppression, and helplessness in the face of the screams of our hungry children.💔

Donate to us🙏🏻😞

Oct 13 Rana update:

Bad news, everyone. Rana’s account has been ❌

I continue to be repulsed by 🦋 & the people who write & enforce their policies. This is intentional obstruction of humanitarian aid.

If you accidentally post AI slop and are told “hey that’s AI” the correct answer is to go “aw shit I didn’t know” and delete it. Not “oh oops oh well, watcha gonna do” and keep it up because it’s giving you engagement. Stop it.

Well, it's official. After our paper last year (onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....), the Slender-billed Curlew is officially declared Extinct today.

Kidnapped in international waters, extraordinary rendition to a genocidal state, and then imprisoned indefinitely.

You'd think this would trigger the immediate expulsion of the Israeli Ambassador for these inexcusable actions against an Australian citizen.

An Australian woman who has not agreed to sign a waiver acknowledging she sought to 'illegally break Israel’s naval blockade' on Gaza will be “indefinitely detained” in Israel’s Ketziot prison unless she agrees to sign the waiver.
