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...
New preprint on the limits of detecting higher-order interactions in microbial communities.

We find that the dominance of additive and pairwise interactions on community function may not reflect biological simplicity, but fundamental limits of statistical detection.
On my way! I will talk in and chair the first session Thai afternoon, make sure to be there! #gfe2026

A study of social media content 18-24-year olds see in #Finland, #France and #Romania shows that algorithms overwhelmingly feed them right-wing political content - whether or not the users are interested.
Three country average for right wing content was 58% - in Finland, 67%!

March is #Endometriosis Awareness Month, and this Editorial by Alex Tosun (@atosun.bsky.social) discusses why greater awareness, education, funding and research for this systemic condition is imperative to redefining pain, equity, and investment in women’s health 🧪🌻 #Medsky

We are very excited to share a new resource from our team: spatial subcellular proteome maps in plants! We developed an MS-based method that registers localizations of about 8000 proteins in Arabidopsis roots in a single experiment.

With Eugene Koonin, we propose a concept of “the selfish ribosome”, under which evolution of life is viewed as a ribosomal takeover, where the ribosome evolved to consume most of the cell’s resources, while other cellular componentry ensures the propagation of the ribosome. arxiv.org/abs/2602.23268
Germany has the opportunity to extend its strength as an engineering powerhouse into medicine and the life sciences. Vasilis Ntziachristos explains how this can be achieved using three key levers.

Editorial by me, in our March issue!
Negative results are a thorny issue in essentially all fields of scientific research, and deserve a renewed look by authors and editors 👇
Now published! www.cell.com/cell-systems...
Interested in kinase-driven signaling interactions? Check out our (now peer-reviewed) paper together with @savitski-lab.bsky.social on reconstructing signaling networks from phosphoproteomics data and prior knowledge:

Disruption of a single gene, tnaA, encoding tryptophanase makes E. coli mutualistic to stinkbug, resulting in the accumulation of tryptophan and the reduction of toxic indole. www.nature.com/articles/s41...
And just like that, #EESCollectivity is done! These last four days just flew by and we want to thank every participant, speaker, and organiser for making the first edition of the EMBO | EMBL Symposium 'Collectivity in living systems' such a success. We hope to see you at another event soon! 👋
Please consider attending this conference in the Swiss Alps meetings.embo.org/event/26-pla... . Exciting science & great venue, lots of opportunities for selected talks from abstracts.

It was a very cool experiment! The author-centric perspective makes a lot of sense.
An important next step is to benchmark multiple AI review platforms. Maybe this can also pave the way for benchmarking human peer review across journals and defining "quality features" of the peer review process.
It’s finally out! Together with @embopress.org and
@reviewcommons.org, we conducted a structured side-by-side comparison of human peer review and our AI scientific review (see thread 👇👇👇🔥).
