In a few weeks, I will be coming to California Institute of Technology, Pasadena, USA for my 2 yr #postdoc . It is my first time in the #USA and I am excited, but anxious.

Any tips on finding affordable #housing , #transport, or just getting started in general would be highly appreciated. If you live there and want to make a new friend, DM me!

Dear researchers,
I am sick of #Elsevier and their antics (ridiculous APCs, inaccessible articles, unauthorised data-mininig, etc.) and want to avoid publishing with them as much as possible.

Can you suggest good journals in the following topics / fields (society journals welcome):

1. #microalgae
2. #molecularbiology
3. #crispr
4. #sustainability

#opensource #openaccess #academicresearch #academia

Please #boost so I can reach other academics.
