I Wrote Research Funding Announcements for NIH for 22 Years. This Year They’ve Published 14

How NIH went from 756 funding announcements to 14 in two years — and what it means for every disease that depends on federal research

Testing Fountain Pen Inks

Question: has anyone done extensive testing on any fountain pen inks?

I don’t mean the standard Mountain of Ink style, sample card, writing sample, etc. visual comparisons. (I’d like to call this subjective measurement, but chromatographic measurements aren’t subjective if done in a controlled manner.)

I am thinking more objective testing: viscosity, density, flow rate @ a given line width, etc.

I was thinking about this type of testing tonight, and it seems to me that there are a lot of factors that would need to be controlled: temperature, air pressure / barometric pressure, nib consistency, friction (aka heat), etc. Given what I was thinking this could be an interesting experiment, if someone wanted to undertake controlling all the variables, and implementing the controls necessary for consistent results.

Can I Lick It?

At some point in human history, someone licked every element in #periodic table

Not the same person, obviously—that would require an impressive tolerance for radiation & poor decision-making

But collectively, across centuries of #scientific #inquiry, accidental exposure, & sheer #human stubbornness, tongues touched all 118 known elements

Some of those encounters went fine. Others ended careers, relationships & vital organ function.

Scientists warn fake research is spreading faster than real science

A sweeping new study from Northwestern University reveals that scientific fraud is no longer just the work of a few rogue researchers—it has evolved into a global, organized enterprise. By analyzing massive datasets of publications, retractions, and editorial records, researchers uncovered networks involving “paper mills,” brokers, and compromised journals that systematically produce and sell fake research, authorship slots, and citations.
