The TWiMmers explore detection of SARS-CoV-2 on surfaces in an ophthalmology examination room, the ability of stressed populations of Yersinia bacteria to survive antimicrobial treatment within host tissues, and how volatile organic chemicals produced by soil microbes attract arthropods which in turn disperse bacterial spores.

Debido a la reciente actualidad científica, me veo obligada a explicar mi opinión (y no sólo mía) de lo que se consideran buenas y malas prácticas para la publicación de un artículo científico. En este capítulo hago un repaso de cómo se deben plantear experimentos y controles, cómo preparar un artículo científico, qué se puede y qué no se debe hacer, qué no se puede hacer bajo ningún concepto y qué pasa si lo haces. Explico que los errores se pueden corregir, pero que muchos errores huelen a chamusquina. También os aclaro cómo funciona la revisión comunitaria y por qué todos debemos estar expuestos a ella. Si creéis que el tema no os afecta, pensad en esa enfermedad que querríais que se estudiase y no se estudia por falta de fondos.Si queréis comprobar que no soy yo, son las revistas, aquí tenéis la guía de Nature: Image integrity and standards https://www.nature.com/authors/policies/image.html?foxtrotcallback=trueSi queréis cotillear las revisiones comunitarias, no dejéis de pasar por PubPeer https://pubpeer.com/Para cualquier duda o comentario, las formas de contactar conmigo son a través de Twitter @karmegd o por email a karmegd@gmail.com.
