Deputy Editor, @CommsBio. Formerly on the @NaturePortfolio Research Cross-Journal Team. πΆ dad to Darwin. Opinions are mine (or typos). π³οΈβπ
One of the best parts of being an editor is that I get to talk to scientists on a daily basis about their work, but it's an exceptional bonus to be able to chat with & highlight fellow members of the π³οΈβπ community π₯³
Thanks to Laura, Alex, & Aniruddha for sharing their stories!
Our June issue features Q&As from Senior Editor George Inglis (@gsinglis) with #LGBTQIA+ neuroscientists across multiple career stages: @LauraHuckins, Alexandra Keinath, and @AniruddhaDas__.
Check them all out at the link below! Happy Pride Month! π³οΈβπ

I should say that we're open to both research and commentary-style articles for this collection, so Iβm happy to discuss the potential for a review or similar content type! #ASHG23 π
Our Call for Papers on AI in Genomics encourages submissions that showcase how #ArtificialIntelligence can be used to improve our understanding of the genetic basis for complex traits or diseases. Guest-edited by board members Melanie Bahlo & Kaoru Ito https://t.co/4i0Kt4lFwl
Really enjoyed the #ASHG23 session on multi-ancestry methods, and it's great to see an emphasis on diverse cohorts across the meeting agenda!
@CommsBio is proud to champion this line of research; read π for info on what we look for in these studies

Our Senior Editor @gsinglis is heading to @GeneticsSociety / #ASHG23 in DC this week! Please reach out to him if you'd like to discuss your work, or attend our ancillary Meet the Editors session on Thursday from 12:15-1:45PM in Room 141.
It was a pleasure to visit Stanford and speak to the @StanfordCVI / trainees about publishing & editorial careers in @CommsBio & the @NaturePortfolio!
Many thanks to @NganHuang for the invitation and for putting together an excellent visit/symposium π
I should also say, we ran a pilot version of this program last year, so thanks to @Nevotii, @CastrillonJess, @GavinDuley, Angelo Mandarino, and Melissa Walker for their invaluable feedback! You can read their research highlights here π

I've hinted at this kind of program at conferences or site visits in the past, but really happy to see our Editor Training Program expand to an open call for applications! Please share with any trainees (#ECR) you think might be interested, or DM me if you have questions
Ever wonder what it's like to be an research journal editor? We're proud to launch a call for applications for our new Editor Training Program, where ECRs can learn about editorial careers and experience the day-to-day life of an editor.

Happy #LGBTQIASTEMDay! ππ³οΈβπ
As always, an absolute pleasure to talk to researchers and promote resources for the LGBT community; it's inspiring to see the work being done by organizations like @TheSTEMvillage
Happy #LGBTQIASTEMDay! As part our annual celebration, we've reached out to several LGBTQIA+ biologists to learn about their research and advocacy efforts for the community. π§΅
