The most blatantly self-serving article I've seen in recent memory. The reason for loss of public trust in science is… that we don't treat editors with enough respect? Yes, editors should be respected. No, that has nothing to do with loss of trust. 1/2

Once you've been invited to a faculty interview, everyone's ideal scenario is that you rock the interview. You want that AND the search committee wants that. Don't be afraid to ask for what you need to make it happen!

Love her humility and perspective. “You don’t have to hold a grudge against somebody, because it poisons you and the other person won’t even remember,” she says. cnbc.com/2023/10/06/nob…

Looking forward to the announcer at major professional sports asking for a moment to thank all of scientists for their service to the nation.

This is an amazing program conceived by my predecessor Biology Open Steve Kelly Reviewers & authors, please plant a tree by reviewing and publishing with The Company of Biologists

How well can #GPT4 provide scientific feedback on research papers? We study this Q in our new work arxiv.org/abs/2310.01783

We created a pipeline using GPT4 to read 1000s papers (from #Nature , #ICLR , etc.) and generate feedback (eg suggestions for improvement). Then we compare…

We are recruiting Reviews Editors for our journals J Cell Science & DMM Journal. We’ve also got an opening for a Features Editor to work across our five journals as we build up to our centenary in 2025. Apply by 1 November.

Yes! The Nobel committee will recognize your discovery no matter where it’s published. Will HHMI? Searle? Pew? Hiring & promotion committees?

I look forward to a day when HHMI, Searle, Beckman & other prestigious agencies reward scientists based on their discoveries and not which journal did or didn't accept the paper describing them

I look forward to a day when public attention to important discoveries in biology and medicine don't feature discussions of which journal did or didn't accept the paper describing them.

Not wrong.😅

Once again highlighted in response to a question at the announcement was no NIH R01 or academic tenure at Penn for Karikó but a VP position at BioNTech, a company that produced a highly effective vaccine

Another Nobel prize winning paper not published in Cell, Science or Nature. The The Nobel Prize will recognize your discovery, wherever it is published.

Wait, didn't Penn Medicine fire her 10 years ago and not support her when she needed them? Fact that they are now using her to gloat about how wonderful they are proves one of Simon's Maxims.

I don't care if publishers make a profit or not. I care that journals perform rigorous & transparent peer review, papers are free to read, and charge low (or no) pub fees for authors. Do AAAS journals meet these criteria? science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…
