We've got ISSUES. Literally.

We scraped >100k special issues & over 1 million articles to bring you a PISS-poor paper. We quantify just how many excess papers are published by guest editors abusing special issues to boost their CVs. How bad is it & what can we do?

A major output of the 4D Nucleome project appeared today. This is the joint effort of many scientists working together and (publicly) sharing data and results for several years. We hope this is of interest to many genome biologists!

Scientific journals: we don’t want you using generative AI because it makes shit up.

Same journal: here is an AI summary or evaluation of this paper. This might be more useful than the actual abstract or paper that the authors freaking wrote

Same journal: AI cover art which makes no sense? Oooh!

Comparative ASCL1 interactome analysis reveals CDK2-Cyclin A2 as suppressors of differentiation in MYCN-amplified neuroblastoma https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2025.11.11.687869v1

For 61 years the #BBCWorldService has been broadcasting the latest in science via its weekly Science in Action programme. That dies in the next half hour, with this final edition, reflecting on the fall in trust in expertise driven by malign interests over recent years.

A conserved differentiation program facilitates inhibitory neuron production in the developing mouse and human cerebellum - preLights How do progenitor cells in the brain give rise to such a diverse range of cell types? ASCL1 and FOXO1 work together to create inhibitory neurons from bipotent progenitors

I really enjoyed writing a few words to highlight this excellent new preprint from the Bayin lab - check it out, especially for fans of ASCL1 prelights.biologists.com/highlights/a...
