The claim that beta cells arise from duct progenitors in the adult pancreas seems to have a zombie-like quality 🧟 repeatedly reemerging despite the overwhelming evidence against it Jorge Ferrer has a great thread explaining it all

Lots of debate about this eLife paper (Inevitably a paper's now been "published" with very negative reviews. Cue: equally inevitable "told you!" vs "that's the point" arguments). But does anyone really think if eLife had rejected it, it wouldn't have shown up elsewhere? And 1/2

The real question: what's the probability it would have shown up in a lesser journal largely unchanged? Maybe it gets significantly revised, but if an almost unchanged paper appeared in [niche/mega journal], those negative reviews achieved little. 2/2

@NeuroPolarbear absolutely - but this is one of the things eLife is explicitly trying to change. And separate and aside from the debate about the new elife approach, a great many people think journal-brand-based assumptions of veracity (=/ quality =/ interest) are a terrible thing in science.

Huge congrats to our colleagues @NCITomMisteli and @Tanner_Lab for receiving these prestigious awards, so well-deserved 👏👏

I think we need to talk about how devastating this cancer microbiome refutation paper from Steven Salzberg 💙💛 and colleagues is. It really speaks to how devoid of critical thinking and intellectual depth our glam publishing ecosystem has become. 1/n biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Postdoc position: Non-mutational mechanism of cancer initiation. It may take years for a tumor to become invasive. Join us to investigate the molecular mechanisms of pancreatic cancer initiation. Apply now to the LEAD program @UCPH_BRIC lead.ku.dk

Always on the lookout for team players eager to navigate at the intersection of wetlab & drylab. Join us in exploring ways to maintain a longer, healthier mind and body!

Huge congratulations to Jason Buenrostro, fantastic news!! 👏👏

This is also about something else. In publishing &science broadly, it’s alarmingly common that powerful scientists shamelessly abuse their connections to lobby for the status quo &against those who challenge it. This org was uniquely positioned to resist & was unequal to the task
