Libgen, Sci-Hub, and Z-library had millions of pirated academic books and papers.
So, they were shut down. We shouldn't use them anyway.
We should help billion-dollar academic publishers get richer.
Anyway, here's how to access these libraries:
Don't do this!

How can faculty most effectively mentor students? QC Assistant Professor @Sebcredible speaks Spanish with them to create a "safe" space and eliminate cultural barriers and encourages them to build a network of mentors. insidehighered.com/news/stud…

Why are skunk stripes variable in some places but uniform in others? Our new paper in Evolution used 749 museum skins to examine several hypotheses for why an aposematic (warning) signal like stripes should be variable when having consistent stripes helps preds make fewer errors! – at Long Beach, CA

Bats use their "brain GPS" for more than just flying! A study by UC Berkeley shows that the same neurons that help bats navigate through space also help them navigate social interactions. It's a game-changer for how we understand social and spatial memory.

A nice piece, but also a great example of how repeatedly mainstream neuroscience routinely overlooks the insights of neuroethologists who have been making these claims and employing these ideas for decades.
Nice coverage of an emerging field by @minikerri Lots of colleagues provide input including @IshmailSaboor @Datta_Lab @Antihebbiann @SarahLisanbyMD @VAbraira @TrackingActions and more. Good to see our lab's work mentioned.

Oxford Nanopore was the first to enable direct RNA sequencing. The new kit (RNA 004) and flow cell for direct RNA sequencing demonstrates increased accuracy and output, with the potential to unlock a new field of biological analysis. #nanoporeconf register.nanoporetech.com/di…

I joined @ANCA_DC to commemorate the 108th anniversary of the #Armenian #Genocide. We must remember the past, but also the tragedies of today. The blockade of Artsakh must end. Rest assured I will continue to do what I can to make sure nothing like this ever happens again.
.@RepGraceMeng (D-NY), reaffirmed her commitment to genocide prevention through education at the 4/19 Capitol Hill Armenian Genocide Observance. Rep. Meng stated, “as part of these remembrance efforts, I am proud to be a co-sponsor of the Armenian Genocide Education Act, which would promote greater public awareness and understanding of the history, lessons, consequences, and ongoing costs of the Armenian Genocide.
Regarding the #ArtsakhBlockade, Rep. Meng noted, "Not only do we need to remember the past, but we must recognize the ongoing tragedies right in front of us. The blockade of Artsakh is simply unacceptable. Families and their lives have been turned upside down.
I know many of you in this room have family, friends, and loved ones in Artsakh who continue to be impacted by Azerbaijan’s hateful policies. Please know that I and my colleagues stand with you in calling for the end to this unjust blockade.”
Watch her complete remarks, then urge friends and family to contact Congress to secure immediate passage of the anti-Blockade bill - H.Res.108 - and become an early co-sponsor of the Armenian Genocide Education Act.

Genome-wide experiment results in a long gene list but lost on how to choose a few for validation? How about the ones more people care about? Kind of a joke but kind of not: pls enjoy my script hype_my_science.py which ranks genes by # of PubMed results. github.com/dansapozhnikov/sc…
