Thanks for sharing Richard! You can see why I wanted to quote you here.
Really cool work here!! Congrats @emery-lab.bsky.social
Editorial here:

And peruse some fantastic studies reporting negative results, including important refutations, here:
www.life-science-alliance.org/content/nega...
Editorial by me, in our March issue!
Negative results are a thorny issue in essentially all fields of scientific research, and deserve a renewed look by authors and editors 👇
It’s finally out! Together with @embopress.org and
@reviewcommons.org, we conducted a structured side-by-side comparison of human peer review and our AI scientific review (see thread 👇👇👇🔥).
Returning to this to emphasize that NIH action/inaction is preventing funds from getting to researchers. Important to note the difference between legislative budget actions and executive disbursement actions. graph via @deniswirtz.bsky.social
Required reading, folks 👇
🎉🎉🎉
Sooo happy to share our new paper in @nature.com “CLCC1 promotes hepatic neutral lipid flux and nuclear pore complex assembly.” A terrific collaboration with @arrudalab.bsky.social, led by co–first authors Alyssa Mathiowetz and Emily Maymand.

Congrats @sudha-kumari.bsky.social on this nice paper out in @emboreports.org 🥳
This is also something that NIH Director Bhattacharya loves to trumpet (as if no other NIH officials before him recognized this problem...)
Yes absolutely
It seems republicans under Trump are continuing this trend? Overall increased NIH budget and very minor cuts to NSF and CDC.
But of course that does not account for grant awards delayed or prior grants cancelled by the current HHS/NIH...

One can assume they identified a gap (in topical area/impact factor) in their portfolio. Such a gap is *certainly* not visible from the outside, but they only do this with clear business rationale.

Minor point:
Not defending the publisher and certainly not the authors here, but it is common for the journal to convey the authors’ assertions about the paper, if any.
Thanks Prof Baumelle for the summary of this really exhaustive look at a new post-translational modification of Syk and how it affects phagocytosis!
Super nice work covering stops, starts, and reversals in axonal traffic. Congrats!

Hello epithelial mechanics fans!! I’m Juanma @juanmagararc.bsky.social 👋 I work on cell mechanics (see celldynamicslab.com) and use Flipper-TR FLIM to probe membrane biophysics in cells.
Join me on this tour about Flipper: what it measures, strengths, advice, cool case studies, and cute drawings!
Let's look at this wikipedia article... ah yes.
The first person listed under "speakers" is this guy. There is no one at Brown by this name... The homepage link takes you to a wikipedia article about him.
But h index = 137!!
One of the spammy things you see repeatedly as a journal editor are invitations to publish conference proceedings. They get to have a paper and the targeted journal collects an APC.
Like this one. Is this real? Who knows
👀
Quite! I'm poking around the topic of null results lately and the issue brings one immediately to big/old/fundamental philosophical problems in scientific knowledge production.
