Predatory Conference?
I’m used to getting invitations to publish in predatory journals but is there such a thing as predatory conferences? I’ve never heard of this conference. Most of my publications involve MRI not nuclear medicine. I haven’t publishes anything using radiation therapy in ages. Hence, the suspicion that this is a predatory conference.
Filippo Salustri, have you experienced this?
Another good #ButtofWhat thread. This time it’s about bats and believe me, you’re going to learn something.
Happy #MoleDay.

NASA Mission Patch
Our project on a NASA project finally started. My collaborator said we would get mission patches. I don’t know which patch we are going to get but does it really matter? We are getting for-real mission patches for working on a NASA project.
We are helping determine which strain of mouse shows a change in bone density and fat composition when it’s in a simulated low gravity environment. That strain of mouse will be used in the International Space Station to study the long term effects of weightlessness.
