E. coli Starvation Survival Strategy: A Proteomic Makeover

In this episode, we explore the structural problems within academia, particularly the challenges faced by postdocs and the role of principal investigators (PIs). Our discussion highlights the power funders and university management have in shaping academic culture, the flaws in the tenure system, and the need for systemic change. We also emphasize the importance of fostering a better working environment for postdocs and senior staff, who often leave due to dissatisfaction with the current system.If this episode resonated with you or you’re facing similar challenges, reach out — we’d love to hear your experiences.Submit your question that you’d like us to answer directly (https://www.speakpipe.com/preprints) or contact us via our website.

This week we discuss the increasing strain on scientific publishing with Mark Hanson, a Principle Investigator from the University of Exeter, UK. The number of scientific publications are rising at an alarming rate and disproportionately to the number of scientists. We talk about why this is happening and what some of the solutions might be.

In this podcast episode, we shall discuss preprints and how they have impacted decisions in the past to award tenure/promotions to scientists from diverse geographies like the USA, Europe, India, and Africa. This is the second episode in the series, featuring Fiona Watt (EMBO).

In this podcast episode, we shall discuss preprints and how they have impacted decisions in the past to award tenure/promotions to scientists from diverse geographies like the USA, Europe, India, and Africa. The episode will feature senior scientists from these geographies, their experience being a part of the decision-making process in awarding tenure/promotion, the hardships, especially the ECRs face in those committees and how their preprints are viewed and assessed and the path forward for a just science environment that promotes open science.

Librarians have the potential to be great advocates for preprints at their institutions and beyond. In this episode, we’ll speak with a librarian/librarians about how they champion preprints in their role/roles, the challenges they encounter, and how open science intersects with librarianship.

Episode 45 - Surviving freezing through leg amputation. But be careful about regeneration! This week we discussed how flies survive in freezing temperatures with Anne Sustar, a Research Scientist / Lab Manager, Dominic Golding, a medical student, and John Tuthill (@casa_tuthill), Associate professor at the University of Washington, Seattle.
