The University of Salford (UK), in collaboration with CSIR-Institute of Genomics and Integrative Biology (CSIR-IGIB) and the Organization for Rare Diseases India (ORDI), hosted a national workshop titled “Towards Equitable and Early Genetic Care for Glaucoma” at @IGIBSocial on Monday, 30th June, 2025. The event brought together leading clinicians, scientists, genetic counsellors, policy advocates, non-profit charities and media representatives to spotlight the urgent need for early genetic diagnosis in managing inherited forms of glaucoma in India. @souvik_csir @CSIR_HRDG @CSIR_IND @thisisarijit @ShroffEyeCentre @SalfordUni @PremasLifeSc

Nothing new here, but scientific publishing needs fixing. We pay "open access charges" or APCs of USD 3-5k (sometimes more) for a publisher to put a PDF on the internet and not charge people to read it. But we also pay up to thousands extra for "color printing". This does not mean physical printing (which might make sense). It's an extra charge to keep your figures in the pdf the way you submitted them. Publishers will actually do extra work to convert color figures to grayscale (thus disrupting the figure/text concordance and the sense of the paper) just to force you to pay these extra charges (or re-graph/re-write in grayscale yourself). This is done by "reputable" publishers but in my view should be classified as a #PredatoryPublishing practice.
