As Editor of @dev-journal.bsky.social I get asked "What are you doing about your impact factor?" In our new editorial we say: Ask not what Dev can do for the impact factor. Ask what you can do for Dev's IF The IF is about how we all cite, review & assess each other's work doi.org/10.1242/dev....

Our new preprint by the super talented and persevering @callumbucklow.bsky.social on the integrated evolution of body elongation and vertebral shape. I guess it's not all about modularity after all!

How can one dynamically change the stiffness of a material? Nature knows how to do this, but would be a synthetic solution? Read our answer published in J Mech Phys Solids doi.org/10.1016/j.jm...
