Unis, cancel your subscriptions! Use the money to pay open access publication fees for your researchers, instead. Then reduce that budget by 5% each year. This way the private corporations might actually need to be better.

Then pay Postdocs proper salaries. https://t.co/y2MTizCvwA

This change is intended to be a complete transformation; the Nature Portfolio journals are committed to continuously increasing open access uptake, with the aim of transitioning to a fully open access model for primary research articles when there is sufficient demand.

Finally finished @neurograce's Models of the Mind! It was so much fun to read - just right mix of anecdotes, good examples, information and people. I think this book reminds us of the importance of collaboration between experimental and computational neuroscientists.

If I thought academia was all crap, I wouldn't advocate so hard to make it better.

$12,000 to publish an open-access paper. It is a joke, scientists do the experiments, write, send it for review to other scientist & they do it for free. But the #publication house will make money & have the copyrights.

Is this a joke? $12,000 to make a paper open access that we submit & review for free?? Even in industry research I can’t justify such a cost.
It’s the price of

-1 year rent for room in NYC
-5 cars
-10 laptops
-1/3rd annual PhD student salary
-1/2 annual nyc min wage

Outrageous. https://t.co/bZ11xKHqoX
