Paper rejections are also more emotional for me - I feel like grants are anyway lotteries while papers...are...lotteries having some numbers better/worse than others πŸ™ƒ

In flux, balance holds,
Through storm of concentration,
Stem cell self remains.

Congratulations to former very talented PhD student Romane Mizeret, with help from @armelletollenaere.bsky.social and CΓ©dric Deluz, +
big thanks to EPFL genomics (GECF) and flow cytometry (FCCF) facilities.

OCT4 drifts, unsure,
SOX2 holds steady, unmoved,
NANOG climbs with strength.

Mass-action falters,
Binding bends to hidden rules,
Genes choose subtler paths.

Core regions endure,
Three voices sing constant truth,
Pluripotent flame.

Endogenous variability in transcription factor concentrations shapes their genome-wide occupancy The control of transcription factor (TF) concentrations is crucial for the precise regulation of gene expression and cell fate decisions during development. Yet, TF concentrations can display substant...

Drosophila research without FlyBase would be untenable. Time for all labs who can afford it to step up.

Yeah sure in that case sounds a bit crazy...basing authorship on career impact sounds like weaponizing authorship (or lack thereof) for career advancement, which IMO amounts to fraud

individual credit when very few people were involved compared to studies with zillions of authors.

cases is another one. I do think it is relatively obvious that when less people are involved, this means more work per person which I think should also be recognized differently. So I would say this argument can never be used to play around with authorship, but I feel it natural to give more

I feel like this has to be contextualized a bit to answer properly. Authorship should always be attributed when work has been done, full stop. Now the question of whether an author deserves more credit in a two-author paper than in a 50-author paper (where credit was attributed properly in both

Lab drowning in paperwork? Hire an in-house writer Hiring a postdoc to take over writing tasks makes good sense, argues BΓ©la Z. Schmidt.

For many people (me included) writing is thinking

If you're not thinking you're just the pretty front (wo)man in the band

Do you want to be Noel or Liam?
