Ecotoxicological research is vital to guarantee environmental safety for humans and wildlife. TerraChem team members have published a guide for toxicologists and chemists to report ecotoxicological data in clean ways and solve common data reporting issues. Read more on TerraChem.eu

It was a pleasure to present my work on nano-QSARs and the importance of assessing their limitations at #SETACMaastricht. I also had the opportunity to present a poster on using transfer learning to predict the toxicity of chemicals with specific modes of actions.

Will be presenting at SETAC next week. On wednesday I will give a talk on building nano-QSARs with species traits and why it is important to assess model biases and limitations (7.01.T-01) #SETACMaastricht #SETACEurope

By now it is obvious that AI has completely solved statistics and machine learning. So as the next step in the tidymodels journey we are moving into game development! Introducing our first game! emilhvitfeldt.github.io/tidymodels-d...

Can we get rid of the need to create new accounts for every single journal you submit to

New paper out: doi.org/10.1016/j.im... Here we created a QSPR for the prediction of nanomaterial ion release (particle dissolution). We also investigated what effect artifically increasing datasets has on machine learning models.

Basically every ecology paper: "We found a strong link between X and Y at this site, so this is how the world works." The plot.

What works: - publisher site link - preprint server link - DOI / PMID / URN / SSRN / RePec / ArXiv link What doesn’t work: - shortlinks like bitly (DOI.org’s own service works) - uploading the pdf to bsky - hosting your work on your blog and sharing it from there - deleting the link then posting

All the time

I’ve put together a (micro)plastics starter pack. It’s not an exhaustive list—just those I’ve found on the platform so far. I’m excited to grow my Bluesky network with both new and familiar faces! If you know others in this field joining the platform, let’s bring them into the conversation! 💙

Two days ago, I shared my story of having my identity stolen to publish fake peer reviews The number of academics who have reached out with similar stories is shocking—impersonated in the same way, receiving AI-written reviews, reviewing AI-written articles, etc www.science.org/content/arti...

Scientists, academics, researchers: We’re excited to share that @altmetric.com is now tracking mentions of your research on Bluesky! 🧪

There are already many articles for which there is more attention on Bluesky than on other comparable micro-blogging sites, meaning the academic community and the general public have clearly adopted Bluesky as one of its core places to disseminate and discuss new research. A Place of Joy.

Earlier this year, I received news that fake peer reviews were allegedly being submitted impersonating me and approximately six others I shared my story with Science to, hopefully, reduce the chance of this kind of breach happening again www.science.org/content/arti...

‘It felt very icky’: This scientist’s name was used to write fake peer reviews

🙋‍♂️ Allow me to introduce myself through my research. My research focuses on machine learning models (QSARs) and the ecotoxicity of nanomaterials towards aquatic species

Hey, ecotoxicologists! Check out this new starter pack for us to unite to chat about #ecotoxicology. Please message me to add you to this list. go.bsky.app/Sj5Dc3F

All that just to post a pdf online

Did you know that ErrantScience has an impact factor of 3 top hats, we hope one day to get it up to 6 imaginary frogs

Bluesky really is the new #rstats twitter because we have the first base R vs tidyverse flame war 🤣

In 2011, I published what I thought would be my only paper on the reporting and evaluation of ecotoxicity studies. Thirteen years later, the SciRAP platform has evolved into a comprehensive resource for researchers and risk assessors. And today we have a new website. Tell your friends www.scirap.org

Validated prediction model: we did a test on some data, numbers came out, does not really matter what these numbers are, because the model is now officially validated 🥳

📄 How can you build #QSARs using species traits for #nanomaterials? What are the uncertainties and limitations of the models? How does dataset size affect models? Find out all about it in our recently published paper: doi.org/10.1016/j.en...
