Please repost! There's a few spots left on our Journal Editor Training Workshop (March 20) for PhD students and Post-docs wondering what the next step in their scientific career might be. 👇 Taught by our former journal editors. www.lifescienceeditors.com/workshop3-si...
Browsing @elife.bsky.social, I found lots of candidates for this week's #Snippet at @lifescienceeditors.bsky.social, have narrowed to:

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.

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/
🧪👏Written by one of our editors, former EIC PLOS Medicine and editor at several @thelancet.com journals, Heather Van Epps. 👇
Heather and our other clinical editors can help you with your clinical research papers to ensure they reach the high standards for publication. www.lifescienceeditors.com

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!

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...

Enjoy some delicious, bite-size science 🧪
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
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.
