A Gen Z-led advocacy group announced a boycott campaign targeting major corporations “that enable, profit from, or directly collaborate with ICE.” Beyond the Ballot launched “Not With My Dollars: ICE Out of My Wallet” just days before Black Friday kicks off.

Decisiveness is key for being a good editor.
Journal editors, if you put anyone through 2-3 revisions, that should be enough for you to show some gosh darned leadership and either decide (a) it is publishable without further review, or (b) it will not be published in your journal, and it's only fair to tell the authors so.

Bad antibodies are a major roadblock in biomedical research, harming reproducibility and wasting resources.

The International Antibody Validation Meeting was created to fix it.

How do cytokines shape immune cells?

We analyzed and visualized Parse Bio's 10M PBMC dataset to give researchers a powerful tool for exploring the dynamics between cytokines & peripheral blood mononuclear cells.

You read what you can, with an honest attempt at being comprehensive. If you missed something, hopefully the editors/reviewers will point it out. If they don't, well, it happens; a reader or the authors might mention it, and now you know.

We haven't been able to "read everything" for many years.
How do we make sense of scientific literature that is growing explosively to the point where no-one could read all the relevant papers, and is contaminated with fraudulent and LLM-generated papers? I think that science isn't currently equipped to deal with this, and we need to. #science #metascience

Acid-induced pain is complex: there are LOTS of acid sensors; acid-induced pain is common in the animal kingdom, but not naked mole-rats, see @interlukein.bsky.social’s review royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/...
