My ask of any science enthusiasts who tell the story of Rosalind Franklin:
Don't make her life be about the DNA debacle. She died far too young, but she was a promising scientist in her own right, a mentor and scientific author.

Not for Watson or Crick, but for her legacy.

We show how lanthanide ions luminescence from visible to NIR can be controlled using photochromic DTE–β-diketonate ligands.
Most of all, we reveal the crucial role of DTE's triplet states in both luminescence sensitization and quenching!

Not the submission process, not reviewer #2, not the editor. Writing the abstract of the paper is often a far greater challenge. And there’s one simple reason for that: most people have a hard time figuring out what’s important for the reader. I ‘ll be sharing tips in next posts - stay tuned!

There is also quite a lot of evidence that shows female academics are more likely to collaborate, as are brilliant academics at smaller, less research-intensive universities. Collaboration is GOOD, let's not accept the invention of metrics thst punish it!

Google Scholar has introduced a 'Sh-index' metric that scores papers higher if you are first or last author. Apart from the fact metrics are generally bad, this one explicitly punishes PIs who often collaborate, publishing with 2 or 3 equal PIs at the end of the list.

Google Scholar tool gives extra credit to first and last authors
Researchers welcome the initiative, but say it doesn’t go far enough to capture the nuance of researcher productivity and impact.
