This surprisingly relaxing footage is from SIX MILES under the ocean – and it’s the deepest ecosystem yet discovered

A huge thanks to Anita Bandrowski of #SciCrunch & @rrids.bsky.social for the fantastic Deep Dive into Research Resource IDentifiers - #RRIDs. An increasing number of journals are requesting that researchers use RRIDs - particularly in #biomedicine. 📺 youtu.be/oAAvrFiDMoM #AcademicSky #opensource

We can easily solve the problem of LLM-generated nonsense papers by requiring them to be typeset on a typewriter, with hand-written equations, and submitted to journals by mail.

This lovely paper argues that authors should adopt #RRIDs and other standard Persistent Identifiers for all life sciences studies, thank you! We could not have said it better! doi.org/10.7554/eLif...
