"Data access should be determined by participant consent not researcher gatekeeping"

For the sharing of genomic data, the key is not to ban access to research, but to give real space to the consent of individuals.

"The KwaZulu-Natal sardine run […] is a mass migration of South African sardines from their temperate core range into the subtropical Indian Ocean. [These sardines] are primarily of Atlantic origin and thus prefer colder water. These sardines separate from the warm-temperate stock and move into temporarily favorable Indian Ocean habitat during brief cold-water upwelling periods. Once the upwelling ends, they find themselves trapped" in heat.

"Women have a long history of hunting game."
"Female physiology is optimized for exactly the kinds of endurance activities involved in procuring game animals for food."

About using #citation impact measures to estimate the importance of scientific #publications:
"All metrics of scientific #evaluation are bound to be abused. Goodhart's law [...] states that when a feature of the economy is picked as an indicator of the economy, then it inexorably ceases to function as that indicator because people start to game it."
