As a model organism geneticist if you try to publish a result confirming the established model in the field is true in an actual living organism reviewers tell you “we already knew that” and if you publish result disproving the established model they say “we don’t believe you”.


We are so grateful to Dr. Josh Gold for his 12 years of mentorship and service as NGG chair. Josh made great strides to shape our amazing program that we are so proud of today. Thank you, Josh, for everything you have done for NGG!

My absolute favorite part of being a scientist is that few minutes after you get data back from an experiment and you are (most likely) the ONLY person in the whole world to know that little piece of biology. I just think that’s so neat.

@SDFlies For the record, this wasn’t meant to be a complaint but to recognize the hidden work that goes into the final product. Students have no idea when they start out. Reviewers find it easy trash what’s in front of them and easily forget that there are people behind the work.

I'm constantly reminded about this....

A paper comes out in bioarxiv citing our work which previously showed a very similar finding in a different system. In the final published paper they remove the citation to our work. The journal does not have a limit on citations. Tell me science Twitter, what would you do?
