There’s nothing more satisfying on a long flight than hearing the words “Cabin crew, boarding complete” and realising you have a whole row to yourself 👌

[eLife - the journal @eLife]

Today, we’re introducing a new model that eliminates accept/reject decisions.

By publishing every paper with eLife reviews as a Reviewed Preprint, we plan to restore autonomy to authors, ensuring that they will be judged by what, not where, they publish. https://t.co/OAsiOVFStI

@drkylematchett @News_IACR The short contracts combined with low salary relative to skill set v's what can be earned in industry is a large factor. Throw in the lack of clear career development/training and publications being the main metric makes it hard to not look outside academia.

Our own black hole! Astronomers have just revealed the 1st image of the supermassive black hole at the center of our Milky Way galaxy using the @ehtelescope- a planet-scale array of radio telescopes that emerged from decades of NSF support. https://t.co/bC1PZH4yD6 #ourblackhole

A bombshell in Nature today — All of the base pairs of our biology have now been found in CM2 meteorites, supporting the theory that life’s precursors arrived on Earth from abiotic origins past Jupiter. How? https://t.co/v9oj9Y6GEW

@Yiannis_As The rate of loss the last few months is high!

Mixed emotions having been back from @Official_BSCB @_BSDB_ #BSCBDB22 for 36h. Fantastic to be back in person, meet so many old friends and new faces; faces from screen in real life finally; some amazing and exciting science. And proud of how well the little one did. BUT...

A new record.

This is not a photo from 1941. This is a photo from March 2022 with all the color taken out. So angry. So sad.

[Robin Bromley @RobinCubed]

I don't know who needs to hear this, but @NEBiolabs has the most thorough molecular biology guides and protocols available on their website and they are ✨FREE✨

My current fave is this guide on Measuring and Analyzing HMW DNA 😍
