Join us in Paris 23-25 October for the "International Symposium on Membrane-Protein Interactions" organized by Bassereau Team and Voth Group. Perfect for early career scientists to engage and learn! 🔗 Register now: voices.uchicago.edu/visualizing-me…

New preprint on our "collaborative modelling of the brain" (COMOB) project. Over the last two years, a group of us (led by Marcus Ghosh) have been working together, openly, online, with anyone free to join, on a computational neuroscience research project biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Recently, there has been a push for funding bodies to look more closely at preprints and put less emphasis on journal names. However, if you look at data that I collected from HHMI’s competition in 2018, you can see that the results are pretty similar: x.com/JSheltzer/stat…

"as the [preprint] servers become essential infrastructure, it makes sense to be supported by a diversity of stakeholders..several institutions offered financial support, including Stanford, MIT, Caltech, CNRS, Fred Hutch, Imperial, UW, & VU Amsterdam" 🙏investinopen.org/blog/infrastru…

Very excited to share our work on experimental & computational studies of membrane protein stability and trafficking among this fantastic lineup at the #MembraneTrafficking virtual seminars! Many thanks to the organizers. 🎉Join us this Fall!

I wrote an #Rstats pkg that pulls recent bioRxiv preprints from subjects of your choosing, summarizes them using a local LLM, and writes out an HTML report with titles, links, summaries. Pkg: github.com/stephenturner/… Paper: arxiv.org/abs/2408.11707 Blog: blog.stephenturner.us/p/biorecap-r-p…

This is tomorrow (Thursday)! 👇

"a preprint gathers ~75% of its lifetime views in the first month! After that, metrics decline dramatically" So 6 months before it appears in the journal that accepts it, perhaps ~1 year before submission to a journal that rejects it... quantixed.org/2024/09/24/exp… via Rhys Denver

I first preprinted in 2016 as an ECR. Yet to identify any downsides!

Maybe Marie Curie’s legacy is more than her 2 Nobels. In Elements of Marie Curie, Dava Sobel beautifully illuminates her dozens of scientific offspring, dozens of women physicists and chemists. My review in nature rdcu.be/dWnIV

Interested in BNIP3/NIX-mediated mitophagy? Check out our new review, written with Jonathan Friedman, about recent advances in the field and our thoughts on the regulation of these mitophagy receptors in space and time. doi.org/10.1042/BST202…

📢 Applications are open again for the eLife Ambassador programme! You’ll receive training in responsible research practices and community engagement while networking with hundreds of potential collaborators from around the world. Find out more 👇 elifesciences.org/inside-elife/b…

And they cost ~1% of journal articles (~0.01% of research). So whatever you think of peer review (we need more vs less vs different vs none), supporting a mechanism that provides rapid and universal free access to knowledge should be a no-brainer journals.plos.org/plosbiology/ar…

📢Two exciting #MembraneTraffic seminars this week! Join Fèlix Campelo, Francesca Bottanelli and me for some stellar science with Sarvenaz Sarabipour Sarvenaz Sarabipour and Wanda Kukulski Wanda Kukulski More information at felixcampelo.wixsite.com/membranetraffi…

Join us to hear leaders in the EGFR field and beyond: royalsociety.org/science-events…

How does Web of Science's decision to stop indexing eLife - the journal work against the interest of science? Bodo Stern, Chief of Strategic Initiatives at HHMI, explains: ✍️ coalition-s.org/blog/how-the-w… #ScholComm #OpenScience #OpenAccess

There's still time to give to arXiv this #GivingTuesday! Donate today: tinyurl.com/arXivGivingTue… Why support arXiv? The numbers don't lie. Our team is small & arXiv is growing. We need your help to keep arXiv open as more researchers use it to share their work.

BioRxiv is the most important thing that happened in science publishing
