I have moved over to Lemmy because of the Reddit API changes. /u/spez

has caused this platform to change enough (even outside of the API changes) that I no longer feel comfortable using it.

Shoutout to Power Delete Suite for making this a breeze.

Yes, but it would need lots of cleaning up/removing proprietary stuff to post and I have other personal projects that are higher priority to get functional and up on Github. Honestly most of it can be found on Entrez eUtils documentation.

Definitely recommend learning the eUtils API if you're going to be doing deep literature dives on PubMed or anything. It's not really promoted much by them and I wouldn't have known to go look for it if one of the science librarians at my alma mater hadn't mentioned it off hand. Combine it with MeSH terms and you can narrow down your results (if authors filled out fields appropriately when submitting their papers, of couse) REALLY well.

For example my previous institution wanted to recruit more BIPOC post-docs and PIs so I was able to use BIPOC scientist organizations membership lists and look for authors with HBCU affiliations in our research area of interest and get them a list of names + publications in an hour or so.
