Hi folks, any recommendations for #bike shops selling and maintaining #ebikes (especially #tricycles and/or #AdaptiveBikes) within striking distance of #PortlandME in #Maine? 🙏

Please send me you favorite recipes featuring CELERY, COOKED, as a MAIN ingredient
That is, side dishes are ok, but the celery should be the star of the show.
I'll start: chopped celery and spring onions, sauteed, with a little sauce (chicken broth or light cream or vermouth etc)

Glad you find it interesting :)
Here's a CDH paper that has really influenced my way of thinking:
Petticrew, M., Glover, R. E., Volmink, J., Blanchard, L., Cott, É., Knai, C., Maani, N., Thomas, J., Tompson, A., van Schalkwyk, M. C. I., & Welch, V. (2023). The Commercial Determinants of Health and Evidence Synthesis (CODES): methodological guidance for systematic reviews and other evidence syntheses. Systematic Reviews, 12(1), 165. https://doi.org/10.1186/s13643-023-02323-0

@nprofile…jmrh Do you know anything about where Citizen Science: Theory and Practice is indexed? Thanks

Well I haven't read the paper yet, but I was a RDM toolkit roadshow student as a very early career librarian IIRC, and I thought it was great! So it will be fun to read paper and come full circle. Bravo!

Wow, even when someone uses "AI" for a task that I think should be done (ticketing cars in bus lanes), they manage to screw it up.

What I want to know is, how is this stuff from predatory journals getting through my work spam filters, despite years of diligently labeling it as spam?
Are there some people at my university who are actually clicking on the links and persuading Microsoft (who runs our email) that academics actually want to receive and engage with this stuff?

Hi #medlibs and other librarians,
anyone want to do a book club next year about this book?
Thriving as a Mid-Career Librarian: Identity, Advocacy, and Pathways

Very surprising to me
#medlibs
Only a very small proportion of Medline records have subject indexing about population groups. If you had asked me to estimate before I actually checked, I would have expected it to be much higher.

Any suggestions about some kind of floor covering that can protect my wood floor from my rolling office chair? Can I use, I don't know, a rug made of jute or cotton?
I have been using a floor protector from Amazon and I just realized it has been disintegrating and transferring some kind of adhesive to the floor :(

I know people who prefer to read scholarly journal articles on PubMed Central (a govt-run repository with a pretty clean user interface and no ads) rather than the journal's webpage, for similar reasons.

2024-11-13 21:10:31 GMT

Do I know anyone who uses open resources like Lens or OpenAlex or Internet Archive Scholar for comprehensive, reproducible searching?
Evidence synthesis, bibliometrics, scientometrics, metaresearch -- as long as you care about transparency, I'm interested
Especially if you are using non-subscription resources because you are based in the global south, or you're an independent scholar

Yikes!
I just poured myself a nice Arnold Palmer that was actually half lemonade and half coffee 🤦‍♀️
Fingers crossed re staying healthy, and I hope your wife makes a fast and full recovery.

Why do password managers say "no suggestions for X" for a moment before they retrieve the relevant accounts? Every time I see it I think YES YOU DO.
I think they should say "retrieving suggestions for X" instead.

Just got a phishing email at work masquerading as a notification about an exposure to an infectious disease.... Joke's on them, we don't have a contact tracing team to send out notifications 🤦‍♀️

What about inpatients who first test positive before day 14 of their admission?
What about inpatients who get discharged because their other problem is under control, and then test positive?
What about outpatients visiting MGH for tests or appointments?

Since the end of the public health emergency, Massachusetts hospitals no longer report even the number of hospitalized patients who first tested positive for COVID on day 14 or later of their admission. Do they still count it?

@npub1l5l…wejy When is a journalist interviewing Erica Shenoy going to ask her, how exactly does the health system where she is head of infection prevention track the burden of nosocomial COVID?
