Very happy our teams story (@Toker_IA @YaelMor3) is finally out! Even transient transgenerational effects can have an impact on evolutionary processes. great-grand progeny of stressed worms inherit the ability to produce male attracting odor, increasing their chances of mating.

Our “Distracted Worm” paper is finally published! Can transgenerational RNA inheritance bias crucial behavioral decisions for multiple generations? Read how stress controls the progeny’s mating preferences by boosting attractiveness 🔥����👇 https://t.co/weatuVCEJs

For decades, two revolutions in neuroscience ran in parallel:

- 🧠 In vivo imaging — watch neurons fire in living animals

- 🧬 Spatial transcriptomics — read cell's molecular identity

Meet TRU-FACT - a graph-based method that matches cells between these datasets at scale 🧵

@KordingLab it happens next year but then people figure out you can get the same results from a randomally generated data

@avner_vilan אני לא חושב שאנחנו יודעים שהוא מצליח לדכא את העם ביעילות עכשיו, העם לא באמת מנסה להתארגן כי מפציצים אותו, צריך לחכות כמו ביוני קצת זמן לאנשים להתאושש ולהתארגן כמובן שגם המשטר יעשה את זה. יתכן שאנשים עדיין יפחדו. אולי תהיה דרך לתת באנשים תחושה של ביטחון או יש תרחיש של הצבא מורד.

It’s finally out! Together with @EMBO and @ReviewCommons, we conducted a structured side-by-side comparison of human peer review and our AI scientific review.
Here’s what we did: Authors whose manuscripts had already received journal-agnostic review at Review Commons were provided with an independent AI review generated by @qedScience. The AI analysis was compared to the combined feedback of multiple human reviewers, not to a single report, and had no access to those reviews.
We then asked authors how they evaluate the strengths and limitations of both approaches, and how they would actually want to use AI.
The conclusion was clear: Scientists want AI feedback to strengthen their work IN ADVANCE, under their control. Not as a gatekeeper, but as a tool for constructive input.
That is exactly what we are building at q.e.d! We are on the authors' side.
q.e.d. is not working in isolation; we are collaborating with leading pro-scientists organizations, including EMBO (and other journals), Review Commons, and OpenRxiv (@biorxivpreprint), and are working closely with researchers across fields. At the same time, we are building an alternative model that puts agency directly in scientists’ hands.
Researchers should be the ones deciding when their work is ready to be shared. We are building the infrastructure to support that.
A pleasure doing this with the great Thomas Lemberger @tlemberger and Niv Samuel Mastboim @nivmast

@tznimika ממש לא.

@efraimleaf טייק מעניין. אני חושב שיש משהו בסדרה שכן עושה סדר באיך לחשוב, אמנם לא מציע פיתרון או תובנה אבל כן המראה הזאת כפי שאתה תיארת נכון עושה סדר במה שרואים, גם אם לא מציעה פתרון.

BIG ANNOUNCEMENT📣: I haven’t been this excited to be part of something new in 15 years… Thrilled to reveal the passion project I’ve been working on for the past year and a half!🙀🥳 It started from my frustration with the depressing effect that the current publishing system has on the well-being of myself, my team, and pretty much every scientist I know (maybe you’ve noticed from my stupid jokes… :) I was exhausted of dealing with the huge delays, reviewers that can be abusive, and how arbitrary it all is. Unfortunately, the most important factors are often WHO your reviewers are and who YOU are... It’s clear we need alternatives or at least ways to improve the situation. So, together with a really special and talented team we worked to develop this idea into “qed” a platform where you can get CONSTRUCTIVE feedback on your own work or CRITICALLY assess other people’s papers. It can be a real difference maker if many of you join us (thousands have tried it already, but today we release a NEW and much stronger version ;) Let’s harness qed to put the power back in the scientists’ hands, to do, to read & to publish science on our own terms. I’m dying for you to TRY IT, and it’s very simple - just drop a paper (the link to the website is in the replies👇) - it’s completely secure, private, and free, and you get results fast. Please show your support, SHARE, tell your friends, and let’s be the revolution 🫵!

@AsafLevyHUJI @neriya_fisch אנשים אומרים שהתייקר בווינה, ואכן התייקר בשנתיים וחצי האחרונות אבל לא מתלוננים על יוקר מחיה, לא שאני נחשפתי. למעשה הם כל כך מאוהבים בעיר שהם לא מוכנים לחשוב על לגור בשום מקום אחר בעולם

@OdedRechavi Super cool!!!

[Itamar Lev @itamar_lev]

A super cool story from Ethan and the @OdedRechavi , O2-sensation-related, neuronal small RNAs regulate germline DNA damage and fertility in high temp!🔥

[Oded Rechavi @OdedRechavi]

WOoo! Hot pre-print alert! 🔥 Our new story shows that neuronal oversight of germline small RNAs prevents sterility & allows lab-domesticated C. elegans to reproduce when temperatures rise. This picture shows how neuronal small RNAs rescue the germline from being messed up (1/2)

@Dr_Singularity @OdedRechavi did you make the connection to your worm memory+lithium story? could they be related?

@tsoofbaror אני מסכים דואולינגו זה נורא. אני מציע רשימות מילים - אפליקציה טובה אבל בטוח יש אחרות - quizlet. את המילים אני ממליץ ללמוד משירים, ספרים, סדרות שמעניינות אותך בשפה. אפשר להתחיל בתכנים לילדים ולהתקדם לאט לאט. צ'אט ג'יפיטי יכול לארגן לך את המילים בצורה כזו שיהיה נוח להכניס לרשימה
