Feels like an age since our last journal club - it's conference season so the team have been out and about. But today three of us got together to take a look at recent papers. Quick thread of some highlights! 🧵

Oh hey our new Voices article is out - on building safer labs, physically, culturally, and psychologically. Featuring contributions from @trantteam.bsky.social, @shufflersunite.bsky.social, @rachael-dickman.bsky.social, and more! www.cell.com/cell-reports...

Building material made of living #fungus can repair itself for over a month. www.cell.com/cell-reports... @cheveran.bsky.social @vilezz.bsky.social @cp-cellrepphyssci.bsky.social

In case you missed it, check out this paper from @glowsticks.bsky.social and colleagues. It's one of our most-read papers in the last thirty days, and a great story on a surprising phenomenon (that you may have seen yourself in the lab)! 🌟💡

It's that time of the week again! 🌟 Here are our favorite journal club picks for you to peruse as you head into the weekend!

Sliding into your timeline to share some papers our team have been reading this week. That's right, it's journal club time babeeeeee 1/4

Delighted to welcome our newest colleague to the journal. They will be handling submissions in environmental chemistry and snacks.

We had a great discussion at journal club this week, with everything from small molecules to full devices. Check out some of the highlights in this thread! 🔬

Half the team are out of office today, so no journal club. BUT! Fear not. We still have a thread for you, highlighting some of our favourite papers from our April issue. 🧵 1/4

if anyone wants an accessible primer on batteries, fuel cells, and even water splitting... it turns out that I've made one! It was the culminating lecture of the Thermodynamics course I taught for many years at @umnchemistry.bsky.social. #SciSky #ChemSky #BattChat www.youtube.com/watch?v=KlOy...

Shuai Guo et al. propose a precise approach for manipulating inter-/intra-polymer chain interactions in #MatterVolume8Issue4!

Great paper out this week by @delafuentelab.bsky.social - summarised nicely in this thread! 🧵

Guess what? It's Friday. Maybe you're thinking about the weekend. Maybe you're doomscrolling. But we're delving into the literature, hand-picking some recent gems to scrutinise in our weekly journal club. ITT: four of our faves. 1/6

TGIF (Thank Goodness It's Friday's journal club)! 🎉 Check out this week's highlights featuring research on catalysis, polymerization, batteries, and water treatment!

Our weekly journal club meeting had papers across the full lifecycle of materials, from synthesis to application to breakdown and reuse. Here are some highlights that we discussed today! #chemsky #engineering #energy #sustainability

In a thoughtful Perspective published this week @cp-cellrepphyssci.bsky.social, Jürgen Bajorath explores the concepts of explainability, interpretability, causality and causability for AI models, particularly for models designed for tasks in the molecular sciences. www.cell.com/cell-reports...

Deligted to publish this Perspective by Juergen Bajorath (@unibonn.bsky.social) on explainable AI, and the importance of distinguishing explanation vs. interpretation of models vs. causal reasoning. www.cell.com/cell-reports...

Miso made in space tastes nuttier! Researchers successfully make miso at the #InternationalSpaceStation, confirming that making fermented foods in space is possible. www.cell.com/iscience/ful... @medialab.bsky.social Maggie Coblentz @novo-nordisk.bsky.social Joshua D. Evans @cp-cell.bsky.social

Happy Friday, everyone! Kick off your weekend with our journal club picks for the week ranging from radiative cooling to bioinformatics. Enjoy the reads! 📖

Our March issue is now live, including a great cover by Z. Wang and @jsulam.bsky.social highlighting their work on breast cancer biomarker discovery www.cell.com/patterns/iss...

Hey sciencesky. Whatcha reading? We just had our weekly journal club. ITT: some highlights, including the mechanobiology of antimicrobials, solid materials that do the locomotion🕺, and some cool ammonia synthesis. 1/5

Good morning... the @cenmag.bsky.social team put together this incredible package looking at next gen vaccines, antivirals and what the business case is for developing more COVID treatments. Happy 5 year anniversary of the pandemic cen.acs.org/pharmaceutic...

Today's journal club was a great discussion ranging from fundamentals through commercialization. You can check out some of the papers the team discussed in this thread!

🌟 Preview!👀🌟 Check out this Preview written by Guido Burkard, discussing recent work by Andrea Morello and colleagues on using spin precession to certify quantumness in spin systems: www.cell.com/newton/fullt...

We had a great interdisciplinary discussion today for our weekly journal club meeting! Check out some of the hits we mentioned here, ranging from DNA origami to robot skin to CO2 conversion. 🧪🧬

Just updated the starter pack of Cell Press journals on Bluesky - now up to 40! go.bsky.app/J9mjtU4

⚠️ NEW PAPER⚠️ Binghai Yan from Penn State and Weizmann Institute of Science, and collaborators, report calculations of chirality-induced spin selectivity and current-driven spin and orbital-polarization in chiral crystals. Read more here: www.cell.com/newton/fullt...

My two most common editorial suggestions for manuscripts I handle are: (i) improve writing style by avoiding exaggerated terms, and (ii) ensure machine learning studies include a repository for reproducibility and reuse of models and data #EditorLife #ChemSky

Mechanochemical and solution-phase reactions of C60 with cyanides proceed via different pathways. @garciapadilla.bsky.social and Feliu Maseras reveal the origin of this selectivity switch using DFT and microkinetic modeling. www.cell.com/cell-reports...
