I definitely let the crappy iECs decide if I am having a good or a bad day.

This is a good chance to meet my boss, Marlene has a gift to help you dissect extremely complicated questions into manageable experiments.
Don’t miss this seminar! She is an extremely good mentor (and tough when needed).
What can the history of PH teach us about its future?
Join us next week for the next Living Legends in PH: History & Personal Perspectives session.

I was definitely not expecting that tweet to hit that hard.
I had to silence the tweet because it was distracting me too much lol, but I will try to reply slowly to whoever is left.

In January, I reviewed a Review for a crappy MDPI journal.
It was 100% AI, missing citations, etc. I sent a massive report, and the authors withdrew it.
Today, I see it published without a single change in another even crappier MDPI journal.

I still think MDPI journals can have legit papers every now and then, but they are totally buried in a mountain of low-quality papers and terrible reviews.
Long story short, I avoid citing MDPI stuff in general because they ignore reviewers.

Are we using the scarce ERC money in the most efficient way?
I argue in the Times Higher Education (THE) that this may not be the best distribution for keeping talent in Europe:

Same amplicon, same primers, our core in Spain vs Quintara 😂
Maybe they are sequencing the DNA from outside the tube instead of the one inside.

I find it hilarious that I was able to get better Sanger sequencing in Spain than in the Bay.
Now, I have to choose between the core facility giving me the worst peaks ever seen by mankind, or Quintara, which is like gambling, either decent or absolute crap.

Puestos a pedir, añadiría un buscador de gente que la tuvo y la posibilidad de editar el perfil.

Terrible news for anyone aiming for the next call. Europe keeps shooting itself in the foot.
Not only do we have a single call per year, but now the penalties are even higher.

Did I just print the poster that I have been slacking off in the wrong size? yes.
Well, that will be a problem for tomorrow's Mauro.

The science funding system is BROKEN. PhDs and professors are spending their days writing grant proposals rather than conducting research that could transform millions of lives. And the worst part? The system REWARDS predictable, safe, incremental science. It PUNISHES radical ideas and moonshots.

I have been working my ass to finish a few experiments that I absolutely hate doing. Well, it seems like every time I’m almost done something happens. It is almost comical.
Also shout out to our biobank for not characterizing the iPSCs we pay A LOT for.

I have to purify ipsc-ECs way too often, and I gotta say, MACS has become by far my least favorite activity. It is a waste of an hour to do mindless work with no technical complexity. Whenever I have to do it, I end up avoiding it for hours and leaving late...
