"Born out of a stage 4 lung cancer diagnosis, Annabelle describes her memoir as “…the book I didn’t think I’d live long enough to write.” New York Times bestselling author Will Schwalbe calls the book “…a Trojan Horse of sorts: a hysterically funny page-turner that is packed throughout with practical advice and timeless wisdom.”

"Annabelle’s title and witty charm had me hooked immediately. I was eager to learn more, in this first installment of my new series highlighting #Jewish #authors as they #publish new work. (Because if you haven’t noticed, there’s never been a better time to support the Jewish community.)"

The #Chinese Academy of #Sciences is going to disallow the use of its funds to pay disproportional #openaccess fees, typically over $5000, such as the ones of Nature Communications, Cell Reports, and Science Advances. This is an excellent move. Nature Communications for instance published around 10,000 peer-reviewed articles last year, for an open-access fee of more than $7000 per article. Too many millions of dollars are going into shareholder pockets by exploiting the pressure to #publish in expensive brand journals.
