I've just reviewed Csaba Szabo's ''Unreliable: Bias, Fraud, and the Reproducibility Crisis in Biomedical Research'.
It's a tour-de-force through how most biomedicine research results are impossible to reproduce, how the field is corrupted by fraud, and what some real scientists are doing to counter all of this.

This week I've been mainly reading, no. 218.
Although written nearly 40 years ago,
Lois McMaster Bujold's Falling Free (1988) seems incredibly timely; dealing with an uprising among genetically modified slave workers, Bujold's sci-fi novel deals with callous corporations, workers' exploitation & toxic management, all presented in a breezy & fluid style; its a great read & wears its politics pretty openly. Highly recommended!
Come let this succubard read you to sleep~

Para #QuartaCapa cujo tema é "capas bonitas", trago "Hellraiser" (Clive Barker), na edição brasileira da editora DarkSide Books. Não sou fã do gênero, mas é daqueles livros que compraria só pela capa.
Menções honrosas: "Valis" (Philip K. Dick) numa antiga edição da Aleph que imitava a caixa de um remédio tarja preta; Trilogia Alien com ilustrações metalizadas (Tim Lebbon e James A. Moore) da editora Leya; A religião nos limites da simples razão (Immanuel Kant) da editora Lafonte, que traz um coração formado por trilhas de placa de circuito e um chip/processador no centro.

#newbook They began as makers of electronic organs and pianos. Then they made the natural leap into building exact simulacra of famous people, made to order. To befriend and utilise for any purpose someone wanted… What could go wrong? Surprisingly it’s something to do with colonising the moon. #books #scifi #bookstodon
Music is my lifeline. That's one big reason I make playlists to accompany some of my books...

SECRET. He has been let into the secret: he has been cheated at gaming or horse-racing. He or she is in the grand secret, i.e. dead.

New evidence that #BookBans backfire.
https://pubsonline.informs.org/doi/10.1287/mksc.2024.0716
"We find that the circulations of banned books increased by 12%, on average, compared with comparable nonbanned titles after the ban. We also find that banning a book in a state leads to increased circulation in states without bans…Books with higher visibility on social media following the ban see an increase in consumption."
PS: It's not clear how much book bans would backfire without protests and publicity. But it's now clear that protests and publicity help them backfire. Keep it up.
A book review that says: "The end of capitalism – or the end of civilization? The choice could be that stark."
____________________________________
Herrmann argues that there is no choice other than radical and seemingly unimaginable change if we are to survive in anything like a civilized condition: “There is no alternative for the industrialized countries. Either they end growth voluntarily, or the era of growth will end violently, when everything that forms the basis of our way of life has been destroyed.”
There is no doubt that unmitigated climate change and environmental degradation will transform our lives and the political systems that circumscribe them. By the time they do, it may be too late to do anything useful, other than keep a lid on social breakdown. It won’t necessarily be the end of the world, but it may be the end of any human civilization worthy of the name.
