Peer review is a staple of science, a seemingly inescapable barrier that every researcher must cross in order to share their work with the world. The internet is awash with complaints about Reviewer #2 and long, drawn out review processes. Despite this, most academics believe peer review to be a gold standard process that protects the scientific record from poor quality studies.

Robert Tucker Robert Tucker, Forbes, 20/06/2025 ¹ [download do artigo em pdf] Em salas de direção e de aula, cafés e repartições de trabalho, a mesma questão tem sido levantada: o ChatGPT nos torna mais espertos ou nos tem feito intelectualmente preguiçosos, até mesmo burros [ stupid ]? Não se questiona aqui sobre se a inteligência artificial generativa é um divisor de águas.

This post highlights production changes and plans for PKP software versions 3.5 and 3.6 that will lower the cost of publishing, increase accessibility, and support new publishing models. Note that while this post focuses on OJS, all PKP software (OJS, OMP, OPS) is built upon a shared codebase, which means some of the changes and plans also apply to OMP or OPS.

Every so often, we get a chance to look back at our past work. Sometimes it’s with a cringe, sometimes with nostalgia, and occasionally, with an opportunity to rebuild. During a recent and much-needed time off, I found myself embarking on a project that was a blend of all three: a complete, ground-up rewrite of the Hydrogen Bond Analysis Tool (HBAT), a piece of software I first wrote nearly two decades ago.

I originally wrote and published this essay at The Connected Ideas Project, an excellent newsletter by my good friend and colleague Alexander Titus. If you’re not reading TCIP you’re missing out. After I finished my postdoc I was faculty in academia for eight years before moving to a consulting firm for five years, then joined a biotech startup two years ago.

Click to embiggen White rami are usually thicker than gray rami, and sometimes they are visibly different in color, but they are always the more lateral connections between the sympathetic chain and the intercostal nerves, and the ones you’ll see first when you peel off the parietal pleura. You may even see the white rami through the parietal pleura if it’s thin enough.

Depending on your exact definition of doing science, keeping track as precise as possible of your observations is an essential part of doing science. The precision should be high enough that mistakes are obvious. This pattern is, of course, not limited to doing science and we see this in open source development too. Unfortunately, in the modern way of doing science, this is not getting the attention it should get.

The exam marking is over, and a glorious Cambridge summer awaits! This year, we have a sizeable cohort of undergraduate and graduate interns joining us from next week. This note serves as a point of coordination to keep track of what's going on, and I'll update it as we get ourselves organised.
