Preprint review should form part of PhD programmes and postdoc training.
"Peer review is an opportunity to demonstrate transferable skills, but most of the institutions that grant PhDs don’t train people in peer review."
'What I’d heard of a little Brazilian town on the eastern edge of the Amazon had prepared me for the worst. Criminality plagues many areas of Brazil, and the government’s presence remains feeble in the interior of the country. But even by that measure, the pace of homicides in the region is staggering. “It’s a risky town for a reporter,” said Danicley de Aguiar, a Greenpeace activist.'

"Almost two-thirds of sharks and rays that live around the world’s coral reefs are threatened with extinction with potentially dire knock-on effects for ecosystems and coastal communities, according to new research."
"Here, we review how nutrient acquisition through plasma membrane transporters and engulfment pathways control tumor-associated macrophage differentiation and function. We also discuss how nutrient metabolism regulates tumor-associated macrophages and how these processes may be targeted for cancer therapy."

At a birthday celebration for Duke Ellington at the White House, President Nixon came up to Cab Calloway and shook his hand effusively. "Pat and I love your music!" he told Calloway, who was surprised to hear it. "Happy, happy birthday, Mr. Ellington," Nixon continued. #jazz #Republicans

I've been speaking and writing lately about how tech companies try to shift the discussion on misinformation polarization, etc., away from the systems and structures that are inherently toxic and toward questions of individual behavior.
This way they can blame their own users for the any pathology and steer clear of calls for systemic change.
Today Elon Musk has come through with a perfect illustration for my future talks.

"While sex-specific prevalence of orofacial pain is established, mechanisms of sex-dependent orofacial pain are widely understudied. To this end, a significant gap in knowledge exists about comprehensive regulation of tissue-specific trigeminal sensory neurons in diseased state of males and females."

Throwback Tuesday:
I interviewed Facundo Batista for the @embojournal when he took over as Chief Editor in 2021. One of the things we discussed was the importance of mentors:
"TC: What do you remember most about Michael Neuberger as a mentor?
FDB: What was incredible about Michael was his clarity. You would present any biological problem to him, and he would crystallize in one sentence what the real question behind it was. He was amazing. Michael would enter into a state of thinking where he would stop looking at you and would start looking up at a wall and would start to concentrate for those 10, 20 minutes that you’d explain the problem. Then, he would come up with critical questions and he would be critical to the bones. "

Hi All, I’m excited to finally join the conversation at #ScienceMastodon. Here is a belated #introduction. I’m an #evolutionary #biologist currently leading a research group at the Max Planck Institute for Biology. Our lab studies symbioses and the ways by which they facilitate #herbivory in insects, using tortoise beetles as a model. Looking forward to connecting with many of you here! #evolution #ecology #microbiology #entomology #microscopy

A set of new MERS coronavirus genomes from Ethiopia. Quite high prevalence in nasal swabs, viruses belonging to cluster C, distinct from the viruses that have been found in the Arabian peninsula. Big question: is that why zoonotic infections are not seen in the African region?
