In addition to all the well-documented stresses on the system, reviewer fatigue/saturation drives worse reviews which in turn promotes more journal shopping by authors which leads to paper recirculation and, yes, you guessed it, more reviewer fatigue 😵‍💫

Spatiotemporal coordination of Slit-Robo repulsion and neurturin-Gfrα attraction guides multipolar migration during retinal lamination Multipolar migration is a conserved neuronal migration mode in the developing brain, enabling emerging neurons to navigate in crowded environments and…

Check out the tour de force by @jalehtimaki.bsky.social in its final form: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... . An elegant combination of transcriptomics, F0 screens and high end imaging unravels the cues that guide cells (here retinal horizontal cells) in an increasingly crowded tissue. #proudPI

A few points and new information that bioscientists may find interesting...

A 🧵

Computer science needs more biologists. They are used to:
- study systems that are mindbogglingly complex and complicated,
- use reductionism to study and describe such systems, using famously clumsy and fiddly tools to collect noisy and incomplete data,
