Me as an author: can’t wait to get this manuscript off my desk and into peer review so I can relax over the holidays!
Me as a journal editor: who submits a paper right before the holidays? Obviously we won’t be able to find any peer reviewers for weeks!

The amount of AI generated art in slides at this conference, primarily used by older scientists, is killing me. Scientists please. Don’t use these ai platforms to make your figures or slides. They look bad and I have yet to see them meaningfully improve the message of talks.

“When women stepped outside their prescribed roles, they became targets. Too much wealth might reflect sinful gains. Too little money demonstrated bad character. Too many children could indicate a deal with a devil. Having too few children was suspicious, too.”
Too rich. Too poor. Too many kids. Childless. There were many reasons a woman might find herself accused of being a witch in early America. #Halloween

Most witches are women, because witch hunts were all about persecuting the powerless
Powerful men often proclaim baseless accusations to be a ‘witch hunt.’ But American witch trials have always targeted a persecuted minority: women.

Always exciting to get to share student successes! Taofiq is a PhD student planning to graduate Spring/Summer 2026. He had a chance to complete an internship at Biogen this past summer, solidifying his interest in industry positions.

Blue jays are not truly blue, they just look that way. 🪶🧪
Most colors in nature come from pigments that absorb and reflect light, but a blue jay creates its color through structural tricks: microscopic layers and air pockets that scatter blue light back to our eyes.
