Big new article from me in @PLOSBiology on the past, present and future of science publishing. 6n 🧵 on what I try to do here. (RTs appreciated). 1/n doi.org/10.1371/journa…
Back then we had a prof in a freshman course ask us to estimate the amount of trace phosphorus to expect in their buffers. There was potentially enough there for the bugs to survive without incorporating arsenic. Good lesson in sanity checks.

1/ Better late than never, here’s a long thread of threads summarizing our MOSAIC preprint. If you’re curious about the process by which a new microscope is conceived and brought into the world, this is the thread for you. If you’ve come for eye candy, there’s plenty of that too…
Do "open data policies facilitate exploitative workflows [creating] Al slop [with] potential risks to research integrity in public health and drug safety"? medrxiv.org/content/10.110…
yikes!

Hey bioRxiv folk - we have another backlog again. If any affiliates are around to screen, we'd be immensely grateful - more importantly the authors in the queue would be too!
Editors must have a VERY clear understanding of what exactly journals offer, in a world where when preprints can be both peer reviewed and collected/disseminated. Mandatory listening for the latest on this + a brief history of BioRxiv, + general thoughtfulness of Richard.

Time again to tap the sign
Apropos of nothing in particular, disagreeing with most scientists about something don’t make you Galileo
Very important report @petridou_ni linking #mechanochemical signalling to fate transitions biorxiv.org/content/10.110… wide/significant implications. Perhaps the clearest indication so far of HOW mechanical signalling can control patterning of gene expression #MustRead #NotInTheGenes
Took me way too long to realize the primary victims of this mentality are academics not those who left
PhDs who end up working outside the academy (for whatever reason) are not failures. Enough already with the professional elitism.

It's happening again. We have a big Memorial Day backlog. Any bioRxiv Affiliates around to screen papers, we'd be forever grateful! 🙏
bioRxiv bat signal to Affiliates! We have a big backlog of submissions. If any of you have time to go in and screen a few papers, we'd be immensely grateful - as would the authors! 🙏
