Life Science Editors

We have former top clinical-journal editors from @thelancet.com and @natureportfolio.nature.com who know what you need to publish in high-impact journals. We're reaching out to clinician-scientists to offer support for writing and publishing their clinical trials or observational studies. 👇

💥 Last chance to sign up for our Editor Workshop next Friday. This is the first workshop of its kind and has been carefully designed to teach you new skills and tell you what you need to become a journal editor.

Sign the Petition Support a New York State Biomedical Institute for a Healthier, More Affordable Future

📢 SIGN & SHARE THE PETITION! 📢

New York needs an Empire Biomedical Research Institute to create new statewide funding opportunities for scientists & physician-scientists so that patients and their families get the life-saving and life-changing new therapeutics they're hoping for ✏️ c.org/TDMy2H9JTW

Written by our talented editor/writer @sfmatheson.bsky.social 👇

Definitely one for a Snippet @sfmatheson.bsky.social ?

We’re excited to announce the first dedicated Workshop for scientists interested in becoming journal editors.👇

This workshop will teach you transferable skills to support a career as a journal editor or whatever career path you pursue.

Do you want to be a PI? The legendary Paul Nurse explains the key skill you'll need 👇

Last chance to sign up for our free webinar👇 featuring four former-journal editors from across the major journals. We're opening up about the application process and the job itself. It's a unique opportunity for scientists 🧪 to learn about a career as a journal editor. We'd love to see you there.

🚀 ERC Starting Grants Deadline Alert – 14 October.

This year, the format has seen some major changes so we’ve refreshed our tips for success www.lifescienceeditors.com/workshops/wr...

Golden rule: Make your proposal groundbreaking. Think bold, think transformative—emphasise novelty.🧪

Great story in this issue @nature.com. Shows that the regulatory region controlling digit devt in vertebrates was not copy-pasted directly from fin development. So, the "fin-to-limb transition" in vertebrate evolution isn't as clear cut as originally thought.🧪👏👇 (lovely summary btw).

🚀 NY-CURES Launch — Championing State-Wide Investment in Science! 🚀

Our new coalition advocates for sustained public support of New York’s vibrant biomedical research ecosystem — creating cures, economic gains & strengthening communities.

Sign up. Stay informed. Join the movement: www.nycures.org/

We're welcoming another former Editor-in-Chief to our team, this time Allyson Evans from Cell Metabolism.👇

Allyson joins our other six(!) former EiCs, and our 15 former journal editors. We share our insights directly with scientists to strengthen the visibility and impact of their research.

Join us at the Perutz, part of the Vienna Biocenter!
Opening for a full professorship in Molecular Mechanisms of Disease 👇🏻

Our talented former-journal editors have been writing Snippets: short (1-3-paragraph) summaries of papers that caught our eye. They are digestible highlights of a recent discovery, and why we think you should know about it. You can find the full list at www.lifescienceeditors.com/snippets/ 🧪

Important summary from @plosbiology.org on their policy for the ethical and responsible use of AI in manuscripts. Essentially, use it to support you as an author or reviewer. But don't use it to generate or replace your ideas, interpretations, or opinions. They must come from you.

We help scientists better communicate their science, but some scientists clearly don't need it! 👇

We have a lot of experience supporting scientists with these grant proposals. So if you need any help, reach out to us: www.lifescienceeditors.com

We're hiring! The Journal of Cell Biology (JCB) seeks Scientific Editor or Senior Scientific Editor, dependent on experience. Join our team in New York City! Apply here 👉 careers.rockefeller.edu/jobs?keyword...

If you're interested in learning how to leverage AI to improve your manuscripts, we're planning workshops 👇 . You can sign up by email to be on our mailing list: editors@lifescienceeditors.com

Maternal Immune Activation Disrupts Epigenomic and Functional Maturation of Cortical Excitatory Neurons - Scientific editing and writing experts - Life Science Editors Scientific editing and writing experts for manuscripts and grants

1st Snippet of the week, from the magnificent Katrina Woolcock, on new findings in the exploration of viral infection, immunity, and brain devt. The science is interesting, and that's why you don't want to miss Katy's comments! www.lifescienceeditors.com/2025/05/12/m...

Having worked directly with many PIs at @imbavienna.bsky.social over the last 15 years, we couldn't recommend them more highly as an ideal environment to set up your lab.

One of our hugely experienced editors and writers, @sfmatheson.bsky.social, former EIC of Cell Reports, has been writing #Snippets to summarise an interesting new paper as well as to highlight good scientific writing.

Really important points - we're also seeing manuscripts of trials that don't meet publishing standards. Nature Medicine leading the way with clarity and support 👏

We loved it. Both the science and the way it was communicated. And we also wrote about it. Well, the former EIC of Cell Reports, @sfmatheson.bsky.social, who is now one of our wonderful editors, did.👇
