Today’s attention economy is doing real science a bad turn
Until recently, physicist Ranga Dias was enjoying burgeoning stardom as a scientist. He was named one of Time magazine’s 100 Next Innovators and The New York Times had called the room-temperature superconducting material he supposedly discovered a “magic” substance that would “transform civilization.” But even then, other physicists were pointing to evidence of data manipulation…

A novel non-invasive efficient photography-based technique for length measuring and individual identification of seahorses
Abstract This study aimed to develop a non-invasive and efficient method for measuring and identifying individual seahorses (Hippocampus patagonicus) in their natural habitat. A total of 976 seahorses were captured and photographed on a measuring board to obtain standard length (Ls) measurements. Head photographs were also taken for individual recognition, and a set of 100…

Non-pharmaceutical interventions to combat COVID-19 in the Americas described through daily sub-national data
Abstract This dataset covers national and subnational non-pharmaceutical interventions (NPI) to combat the COVID-19 pandemic in the Americas.

Synergistic investigation of natural and synthetic C1-trophic microorganisms to foster a circular carbon economy
Abstract A true circular carbon economy must upgrade waste greenhouse gases. C1-based biomanufacturing is an attractive solution, in which one carbon (C1) molecules (e.g. CO2, formate, methanol, etc.) are converted by microbial cell factories into value-added goods (i.e. food, feed, and chemicals). To render C1-based biomanufacturing cost-competitive, we must adapt microbial metabolism to perform chemical conversions at…
