HELP! Please suggest a cool paper/preprint in your field in the last year or so.

For a course I teach, I am collecting papers on: cell/dev bio, microbio, neuro, maths/stats/CS/chem/phys applied to biology.

openRxiv is Amazing 🤩 read and post preprints, read and offer feedback on preprints on bioRxiv/medRxiv website at the speed of science.

with 8-10 million daily views of the website, your work is sure to be found, read and cited, even more than many journal websites!

Today, our animation synthesizing decades of research on actin-mediated endocytosis in budding yeast was published:

The result of a fantastic Iwasa-Drubin lab collaboration.

THIS. In all the discussions about Publish-Review-Curate, alt peer review models, etc., too often the other things (good) journals (should) do are often omitted. Information verification and many other checks are as, if not more important, journals.plos.org/plosbiology/...

IT'S HAPPENING! 💥 I'm psyched to launch the collaboration between @qedscience.bsky.social & @openrxiv.bsky.social @biorxivpreprint.bsky.social! Preprint + q.e.d = your science is out there, and anyone can appreciate it. Let's care about making discoveries, and not on “getting published” (1/3) 👇

We have written two reviews providing a practical guide and fundamentals of cell migration:

(1) How to select an optimal cell migration assay,
(2) How to analyze cell migration data.

We also added a perspective on AI methods of analysis.

Coming out soon in Nature Methods.

Evidence from 14 research funding programmes confirms that early winners tend to keep winning (Matthew effect). But the idea that an early setback makes you stronger later doesn’t replicate widely.

Always great to see peer review experiments with actual data. SolvingForScience distinguish Quality (Q) & Impact (I) scores for papers. Q scores are based on a peer-improvement phase, followed by an I assessment by a different group. Unsurprisingly I varies more than Q 1/2
