I've been looking at supplemental files from publications all day and I can tell you two things. 1) The researchers that I get to work with are doing such interesting stuff, 2) with few exceptions, I would rather pull a tooth than work with the file formats and data structures imposed on authors.

I absolutely love this story from Evan Ratliff, a @wired.com all-time great writer, about building his own company that employs exclusively AI agents.
All of My Employees Are AI Agents, and So Are My Executives
Sam Altman says the one-person billion-dollar company is coming. Maybe I could be that person—if only I could get my colleagues to shut up and stop lying.

a nice summary of new work led by @carolinecummings.bsky.social and in collaboration with @colincarlson.bsky.social and @viralemergence.org on the distribution of zoonotic risk across bat species.
Only specific groups of bat species are likely to carry viruses with high epidemic potential, highlighting the importance of targeted surveillance and habitat conservation. doi.org/g985xg
Not all bats carry equal viral risk, new study reveals
A study published in Communications Biology sheds new light on the relationship between bats and dangerous viruses. Led by researchers at the University of Oklahoma, the study shows that, contrary to widespread assumptions, not all bats carry viruses with high epidemic potential, only specific groups of species.
