New posting! This one is ostensibly about the data integrity scandal that (#Stanford president & noted #neurobiologist) Marc Tessier-Levigne has found himself in, but it's also a riff about how scientific #oversight is only possible in small groups, and how the growth in size of research groups has created a caste of scientist-administrators who should perhaps recuse themselves from the #research activities of the groups they nominally lead. What do you think?

(And a salute as always to the tireless efforts of @ElisabethBik, data sleuth extraordinaire👏 )

#Brazil 's president-elect, Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, is renewing calls to #protect the #Amazon and rein in the #deforestation . #Climate #scientists are encouraged but so far there aren't a lot of specifics of how this might happen. @NPR Kirk Siegler traveled to a remote Amazonian #ResearchStation that is also #threatened by #illegal #logging and talks to host Aaron Scott about his trip.
