I think this is the right model, like eLife has it -- I assume that NC will effectively 'guarantee' publication somewhere in their journal prestige pipeline as well (NC->Comm Bio -> ...). Whether NC can pull this off is another question since it (unlike eLife) is a pure prestige play.
They will soon eliminate the option.
Nature Communications learning from eLife...
Last week, we welcomed Ryan Canfield from @neuroamyo.bsky.social's lab to hear about his latest preprint: "The spatiotemporal structure of neural activity in motor cortex during reaching" Check out his talk here: youtu.be/F23AW0k4y_M
🧠 Resting-state fMRI is often treated as the gold standard for studying the brain’s intrinsic organization.
But is it actually the best way to estimate functional architecture?
We tested this directly.

The UAB Heersink School of Medicine is seeking to recruit up to 16 new research-intensive faculty as part of a major strategic investment in neurosciences. Faculty will be housed in a brand new research facility at the heart of campus, which is scheduled for completion this summer.
Last day to apply for a PhD position with me!
Fully-funded, three year position in beautiful Oslo. Voltage imaging, ephys, all the cool stuff!

This is how I do it too, but the above method would wrap text around the figure which could be quite useful.

We can definitely get to the first one and should -- but the second one is just a classical monopolist riff: the currently powerful try write the rules
You don't need to assume anything about their intent, good or other wise, to look at the merits of the case. But the idea that there would be no reason for a company to argue for regulation and this must be well intentioned doesn't make sense.
Fear mongering with respect to national security, for example, is standard fare. Currently, US steel companies are arguing that they need tariffs on Canadian steel ... or else.
There's tons of examples of companies arguing for regulation one way or another because they benefit from it. I don't ascribe this to malevolence per se.
I don't know why you invoke 'evil'. Wouldn't it be the most reasonable assumption that different companies have different paths to optimizing income and thus advocate along those directions?
can't imagine a bigger head turner
Cool study! Congratulations to @apeyrache.bsky.social and team.
Congratulations, Ben!
Imagination in bonobos!
I am thrilled to share a new paper w/ Amalia Bastos, out now in @science.org
We provide the first experimental evidence that a nonhuman animal can follow along a pretend scenario & track imaginary objects. Work w/ Kanzi, the bonobo, at Ape Initiative

Incredible. Congratulations!
Incredibly hard and heroic work by @rhodricusack.bsky.social, @clionaod.bsky.social and many other just out in Nature Neuroscience: Visual categorization in the ventral stream can is present in 2-month old already.

While preparing your #NCMKobe26 abstract, read through the highlights from #NCMPan25! The meeting highlight article is now available for review.
Thank you to some of the scholarship winners from 2025 for putting the article together.

we've got an outstanding lineup this year. join us!
Want to come do a postdoc with us?
We’re interested in how sensorimotor function is carried out by the cells and circuits of the spinal cord. We have an awesome team, lots of cool techniques, and we’re open to new ideas/approaches/connections. Get in touch!
Thanks. I am not taking it personally.
