Can we make ePoster presentations actually readable at a distance? Conferences are (happily) starting to let you use slides and/or zoom-in. Watch for good/bad examples: youtu.be/YJGEgv_jPqE

On Hantavirus: a (non-technical) thread. Disclaimer: I am a biology PhD, but not virology/epidemiology. Husbandman is a virology PhD. But I’m told I’m good at communicating science, so here’s my take. #Hantavirus

Sci-Hub, the evil website that pirated 88M+ research papers and made them freely available has added another evil feature. If you run a DOI and open a paper, Sci-Hub can give you similar and related papers. Click on the three horizontal dots or the arrow and it will show you similar papers. Don't do it.

@curvenote is a publishing platform built around the same concept. Imagine a radiology journal where you can interactively scan through the slices of an MRI instead of looking at a pixelated, static image.

PSA: Last week, Affinity Studio (major Adobe Illustrator/Photoshop alternative) went completely 'free forever'. This makes pro-grade design software accessible to PhD students. affinity.studio/graphic-desi… I suspect they're just using new owner Canva's mountain of cash to obliterate Adobe's market share in one swing, but...I'm okay with that?
