Your #figure legends are too long? Chances are that much of them can be cut:
Do not duplicate results or mat&Met;
Explain the figure, do not describe it.
If a panel contains a blue dot followed by "control", you do not need to write "blue dots represent controls" in the legend.

I have translated clinical trial and regulatory documents for so many of those medicines! Good to see that they are discussed by #CHMP

Aujourd'hui, j'ai rafraichi ma connaissance des espaces (dont l'utilisation en ponctuation est différente en France, au Canada et en Suisse)

If you start a list with "e.g.", "such as", "for instance", or "including", do not end it up with "etc." or "and others". This is redundant since you created the list as open-ended.

A small blog post about making nicer histograms (with base R to make a point). Quite obvious, but I am always surprised by what I can see in the literature.

Lengthy blog post describing the different types of #models used in #SystemsBiology

Message is: the toolkit is wide. Don't get bogged down by what your past experience (or that of your mentor!)

A very geeky post to end the week.

How to encode biochemical maps to share them, balancing usability, editability, aesthetics and standardisation (basically efficient FAIRness)

A thread about using fonts/typography in presentations. Decisions about text matter. Just as you can speak the same word in many ways, the way you write text can affect communication, emotion, and attitude. 🧵1/19

[@IAmSciComm - On a Break! @iamscicomm]

A thread about using color as a design tool in science presentations. Color is a great tool to separate different categories of information, to highlight information, or to establish an emotional tone. 🧵1/20

Client's large grant application successful. A nice end to the week.

The word "percentile" is evil and belongs to hell. Use "centile" instead. The "per" is literally nonsense.

Le mot « percentile » est démoniaque et devrait être envoyé en enfer. Utilisez « centile » à la place. Le « per » n'a aucun sens.
