Applications close this Sunday 4 May for this year's ABC TOP 5 media residency!

If you're an Australian ECR with an interest in boosting your comms skills, I recommend applying - I'm happy to answer questions as a 2022 awardee

Here's the link for the Science stream (Humanities and Arts streams are also open) #scicomm

Youcef Sellam: A Ph.D. Student’s Journey to Uncover Clues About Life On Mars

When we imagine the search for life on Mars, we often picture high-tech rovers scanning dusty landscapes or orbiters analyzing strange rock formations from above. But what if the key to discovering ancient life isn’t in the vast Martian deserts – what if it’s hidden inside crystals? That question drives Youcef Sellam's research at the University of Bern.

This is the future of science.

It's telling that this (very expensive) project comes from the global south which apparently still sees a difference between science and 'outcomes'

Maybe when the USA's NSF and NIH are rebuilt they can build in this kind of thing.

bioRxiv · Estimating the replicability of Brazilian biomedical scienceConcerns over the replicability and reproducibility of published research have grown in many research fields, but empirical data to inform policies are still scarce. Biomedical research in Brazil expanded rapidly over the last three decades, with no systematic assessment of the replicability of its findings. With this in mind, we set up the Brazilian Reproducibility Initiative, a multicenter replication of published experiments from Brazilian science using three common experimental methods: the MTT assay, the reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and the elevated plus maze (EPM). A total of 56 laboratories performed 143 replications of 56 experiments; of these, 97 replications of 47 experiments were considered valid by an independent committee. Replication rates for these experiments varied between 15 and 45% according to five predefined criteria. In median terms, relative effects (expressed as ratios between group means) were 60% larger in original experiments than in replications, while coefficients of variation were 60% smaller. Effect size decrease was smaller for MTT, cell line experiments and original results with less variability, while t values for replications were positively correlated with researcher predictions about replicability. Deviations from preregistered protocols were very common in replications, most frequently due to reasons inherent to the experimental model or related to infrastructure and logistics. Our results highlight factors that limit the replicability of results published by researchers in Brazil and suggest ways by which this scenario can be improved. ### Competing Interest Statement The authors have declared no competing interest.

The Inquisitive Biologist

Apologies for interrupting the scheduled broadcast of palaeontology reviews, but the United States Society for Ecological Economics is having a book club discussion this Tuesday. Just in time, here is my take...

A compelling book about degrowth that, well, grows on you, Less is More patiently but firmly explores why capitalism isn't working out for us and what we should focus on instead.

#PPOD: NASA's Curiosity Mars rover captured this view looking back down at the floor of Gale Crater from Mount Sharp on Feb. 7, 2025, the mission's 4,447th Martian day, or sol. Curiosity continued its ascent through a mountainous region known as the sulfate-bearing unit. The colors in these images have been adjusted to match the lighting conditions as the human eye would perceive them on Earth. Credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech/MSSS

A panoramic view of Gale Crater can be seen from Curiosity's location on Mount Sharp. To the left and right are buttes, and different rock layers can be seen across the image. The opposite rim of the crater is in the distance.

Hi! I'm a new #SciComm member.

I'm currently finishing my MSc in #Environmental #Economics at UCPH. My #research focuses on incorporating learning-by-doing and site-scarcity effects into #renewableenergy #policy design. Broadly, my interests lie in quantitative research around #sustainability.

On my profile, you'll mostly find content related to my #scientific interests and policy discussions in these areas. My own posts will likely share insights from my #academic journey.
