Salut,
Je ne sais pas si vous aviez remarqué mais mon chanteur préféré Alain #Souchon est en tournée!!!! Si vous ne l’avez jamais vu en concert, c’est le moment!
(Spoiler alert: il est génial) ❤️
Allez qui y sera et où?!?
Imagine if each new grant funded came with at least 1 compulsory replication of a previously-unreplicated finding… And also imagine if scientists were evaluated on how easy it is to setup a replication of their published findings, and how well their findings replicate…
Wouldn’t that be the best way to move science forward as well as properly evaluate scientific quality of individuals?
@elduvelle better would be to stop doing so much evaluation and get rid of grant funding so that the incentive to do unreproducible science was reduced. 😉
@elduvelle if your interest is in a smartphone that is neither Google nor Apple, in Europe there's also Volla Phone, which are produced in Germany, and have a custom, degoogled version of Android, so most applications work, occasionally with some tweaks needed. They also have a dual-boot function for other OSs.
I've had a first-generation one for about 3 years and am happy with it! https://volla.online/en/index.html
@elduvelle@e_mydata My partner has a Fairphone 4 and really likes it. Hasn’t had to change any major parts yet though🤷🏻♂️ Also re. Play Store, you can check out the more privacy oriented Aurora Store which is basically an anonymous Play Store. And then there’s F-Droid for all the open sourced apps.
Eh ben, les chansons récentes de Francis #Cabrel c’est pas gai-gai
“Toi, mon enfant que j’aime
Toi qui as tant de peine
Assieds-toi un moment
Quels que soient ceux qui te quittent
Dis-toi que le temps passe vite
Et que la poussière t’attends”
projects that you’ve already almost completed (hiding the fact that they’re almost completed, so that you can use the funding for completely new projects), or
new projects that you haven’t really started yet (for which you might just have some preliminary data)?
Do you think 1) is unethical? Do you think 1) is necessary? Do you think 1) has the highest chances of funding? Please comment :)
There is a third option - write about almost completed projects, but don't hid the fact they are almost completed. Some funders are well known for only funding projects that are almost complete - the joke being that they fund the last figure.
Now the onus is on removing from evaluation criteria the "it's a <glamour journal> paper" shortcut, and disqualify anyone using that from membership in search committes or grant/dept./unit evaluation panels.
And to further drive the stake in by raising the issue with high-retraction rate journals, among which many glamour journals. Publishing in a glamour journal should sound suspicious, should require special dispensation to be included among evaluation criteria for recruitment/promotion/awards.
