What about feedback/comments? Authors clearly want and are getting feedback on articles, but it’s mostly private, via email. Cultural change is needed for this to move to the public comment section, and it will always be distributed (social media, etc.) 4/n

New version of our preprint on bioRxiv about bioRxiv up. Now that’s what I call a revision – 6 years after the first version!
It has new data about our progress and highlights from a massive user survey. 1/n

We made FLIP2, a protein fitness benchmark spanning seven new datasets, including enzymes, protein-protein interactions, and light-sensitive proteins, as well as splits that measure generalization relevant to real-world protein engineering campaigns.

Panel A: A figure showing the change in the sum of diameters of the target lesions across tumor types. Panel B: A figure showing the overall duration of treatment and the time to first response observed in 46 patients treated with a dose in the observed efficacious-dose range who had wild-type KRAS.
In a phase 1 study of the oral p53 reactivator rezatapopt in heavily pretreated patients with TP53 Y220C–mutated solid tumors, the most common adverse events were nausea and vomiting, and the overall response was 20%. Full PYNNACLE study results: nej.md/3OIQC5P

And that would be “fed” to BlueSky when it “asks” for a thumbnail? I have no idea how this works haha.
