I don't think scientists should work for anyone else. They should work for discovery and for their own curiosity. – Maria Leptin, ERC President @mleptin (From the episode of the Night Science Podcast coming out next week @nightsciencepod)

This is bad ... VERY bad news. It is devastating to see that @NLM_NIH @NCBI PubMed, the most comprehensive database of biomedical literature, will not be fully functional pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov 👇🏾 📢Europe PMC (europepmc.org)

1/ Everything that could go wrong in paper publishing… did. A story of patience, absurdity, and persistence 🌀 1min From Alfonso Valencia’s lab and a very stubborn PhD student (me).

I wrote a piece about how people are actually using AI tools like ChatGPT. It summarizes over half a dozen recent studies using large real usage logs including studies from Anthropic and Microsoft. link in the first comment

A recent distress call: a student has taken about ₹70L ($80K) debt at 12% to get a master's degree in a small college in the US. The problem: the job scene in IT is bad, especially so for foreign students and payments on the loan are starting soon. I don't know what we could do in this situation because we have not been hiring much as we transform ourselves for the AI era. That caution in hiring is also because we have a policy of not resorting to lay-offs. I urge students and parents to be cautious in borrowing heavily to pursue degrees abroad. Borrowing heavily to pursue degrees in India is unwise too. I strongly believe we should not trap young people in debt in the name of education. The only smart course is for prospective employers to fund training programs and for the industry to broadly accept such alternative credentials rather than ask for formal degrees. The best investment we make as a company is in training and skill development. I hope companies do this widely so we don't strand young people in debt.

Preprinting means sharing an early version of your research, generally before journal-organised review. Many organisations are starting to offer and recognise peer-reviewed preprints. But how can preprinting benefit you? Check out our 5 Fs of preprinting.elifesciences.org/inside-elife/8…

Are you attending ECCB/ISMB this year? I'm looking for candidates to apply to Marie Curie/EMBO postdoc fellowships to join our group & study how local frustration shapes protein biophysical properties at evolutionary timescales. If interested let's grab a coffee in Liverpool 🙌🤝

GeneRanger is a web-server application that provides access to processed data about the expression of human genes and proteins across human cell types, tissues, and cell lines from several atlases. generanger.maayanlab.cloud/en/gene/A1CF?d…
