In my own field, relevant, excellent learned society journals include @femsjournals.bsky.social; Geoenergy journal @geolsoc.bsky.social /EAGE; Microbiology journal @microbiologysociety.org; J. Appl. Microb and Sustainable Microbiology @amiposts.bsky.social; Bio-Geo Interfaces @minersoc.bsky.social

Lately, I've been seeing lots of folk saying that they will stop reviewing papers in for-profit journals, but none saying they're only going to submit theirs to not-for-profit journals. I don't take a hard line but always consider submitting to learned societies journals to support their work

I stumbled across @drmhartl.bsky.social 's one man #cyclingtowork trend and thought I'd join in. Nippy start on the lanes near Clipston. #lifeofageomicrobiologist rare full lab day working on #CCS and #Hydrogenstorage microbiology
