My PhD program (EU-funded) requires to publish only in open-access journals. It’s not going to change overnight, but I see more and more important publications in journals like F1000 and eLife.

> Vitamin D is great for the immune system. > Always good to do the research ofc. But I'm not exactly surprised. How can you say whether it’s good or not without doing the research in the first place?

My point is that as a Brazilian, you don’t need a Portuguese passport before you go to a rich EU country. It’s trivial to get a German working visa in tech.

I’m not disputing that, just stating that there’s no evolutionary pressure on keeping adults cancer-free. There is a big pressure at eliminating child cancers from the population.

Having old grandparents who can’t hunt or forage and need to be fed is a big handicap. I’d like to see a cost/benefit analysis if there’s any.

For everyone spooked by this. Cancer thrives on many things. And there’s little survival advantage for people who can effectively fight cancer after their reproductive age. All novel carcinogens aside(radiation, air pollution, baby powder),

In my field, doing a PhD at decent university means doing real-world scientific research. Despite widespread forced publication of mediocre results, I still see a PhD as a recognition of having “done science”.
