We need a better way to fund basic #research in 🇪🇺 to stimulate innovation. so far with have #Horizon program and #ERC . Both are great but we lack a lower level of funding for testing or proof of concept (2 Years ~140k€ + postdoc) no overhead allowed (100% dedicated to research) .

If a journal asks me to do a peer-review for them, which I accept, then it makes a decision before the review deadline, without waiting for my review, and without letting me know that I do not need to do the review.. while I use my spare time to complete the peer-review by the deadline... then I am not going to do any more peer-review for that journal 🤷

@nobodyinperson I have not published with @plosclimate but with @PLOS (#PLOSOne), so can't answer your question directly. However, some experience may transfer from PLOS to PLOS. I wouldn't hesitate to work eight them again. It's open and really multidisciplinary which are two big pluses for me. Only bad experience was the time it took them to fix a table formatting error they've introduced (something like 2 years...) but that was pretty minor.

A new #PLOSOne study finds AI-generated music triggers stronger emotional arousal than human compositions - more pupil dilation & skin responses. Fascinating, but “emotionally powerful” ≠ "better" music. I wonder why do AI tunes punch harder? #GenAI #Music #ResearchSky

Disappointed in PLOS ONE. Why do they allow this statement, but fail to check if it is actually true?

I'm excited to share that our latest study, published in PLOS ONE, is now available!

In this research, we compare nonlinear regression models for analyzing transspinal evoked potential recruitment curves across different muscles. Our findings reveal muscle-dependent preferences and emphasize the reliability of specific models in parameters of physiological importance.

A new study has found that feelings of distress and a reduced ability to cope with stress are linked to traditional paranormal beliefs, while no such connection was observed for new age philosophies. Then the media found that word witchcraft in the research.
