Hey #plantsci, have your experiments led to a negative result? These important findings are worth publishing to push scientific knowledge forward! @plosone.org is focussed on scientific rigour rather than impact, and selfishly I would LOVE to see more #plantscience each day :D #PhDchat #ECRchat 🌿🧪🔬💚

There are some AMAZING papers shared in our Editor's Picks of 2025 papers published in @plosone.org. Definitely worth a read! 🌿🧪🔬

Very proud of @plosone.org's commitment to rigorous standards and ethics. Check out the video below for an explanation of what we do!

Authors might come up with the most ridiculous excuses to explain their photoshopped or manipulated data. Luckily, @plos.org editors and staff did the right thing and retracted this artwork. Publishers, be like PLOS. #ImageForensics #ResearchIntegrity #Science pubpeer.com/publications...

Willingness to participate in science communication and public engagement are the focus of this new study in @plosone.org, including direct public engagement, industry engagement, stakeholder collabs and more. What do you do? #scicomm #sciencecommunication #publicengagement doi.org/10.1371/jour...

This is cool! Chopping and changing chromosomes, but the plants show no obvious differences and are fertile 🌿🧪🔬 #plantsci

Did any #plantscience colleagues attend the #canvas25 meeting held by the tri-societies @asa-cssa-sssa.bsky.social? PLOS One's @patrickgoymer.bsky.social shares his experience on our blog. cc @globalplantgpc.bsky.social #plantsci 🌿🧪🔬🌱

Don’t get a boring job. Get a fun job. Be a botanist. #botany #WakeBotany

Really proud of @plosone.org's focus on #openscience! Authors can choose to share their peer review feedback (reviewers can remain anonymous if they wish), and data availability is a core requirement - great for transparency and maximising research funding! 🧪

📣New journal alert!📣 @plos.org has just launched two new journals, one of which (PLOS Ecosystems) might be of interest to the wonderful #plantscience community as well as colleagues in #ecology and #restoration. PLOS Aging and Health is the other exciting addition to the PLOS catalogue. #plantsci 🌿🧪

Excited to see the launch of PLOS Aging and Health, under Editors-in-Chief @jenschrack.bsky.social and @haggsara.bsky.social. The journal will publish transformative work from researchers, clinicians, public health scientists, social scientists, and policymakers. journals.plos.org/agingandheal...

Good news, #tea drinkers! 🍵New @plosone.org study shows how different plant hormones can keep the teapot full even when tea plants suffer drought: 🫖🌿🧪https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0331456 #plantscience #plantsci

Could bacteria help fix the smoky taste of wildfire-tainted wine? 🍷In a recent @plosone.org paper, researchers identified a bacterial strain that breaks down guaiacol, a compound linked to smoke taint. journals.plos.org/plosone/arti... #wine #plantscience #scinews

I interviewed Dr Pankaj Bhardwaj for @plosone.org and he shared beautiful stories of nature inspiring his work, #plantscience translating into real benefits for communities and landscapes, and some unique tips for Early-Career Researchers. A MUST read! #plantsci everyone.plos.org/2025/09/16/e...

Loving the #photosynthesis Google doodle today! #plantsci #plantscience

How do plants manage to survive in places where survival itself feels impossible? PLOS One Academic Editor Pankaj Bhardwaj talks to @sarahjose.bsky.social about the genetics of adaptation, its wider relevance to society, and his advice for early-career researchers. everyone.plos.org/2025/09/16/e...

Key takeaways: 1. Preprints are correlated with 19% more citations, and 14% more software sharing and data sharing. 2. Open access is linked to a 9% bump in citations. #openscience #academia #openaccess

New review of circadian interactions in plant-microbe relationships from the @antdodd.bsky.social lab! #plantsci #plantscience

Circadian interactions between plants and microorganisms: congratulations to Jack Dorling, Isobel Banks and Georgia Love from the lab for writing this review #CurrOpinMicrobiol @microclockerc.bsky.social www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Spotted this helpful study of optimal LEDs for lab-based plant pathogen research: doi.org/10.1371/jour... Please send to anyone who might find it useful! #plantsci #plantscience @plos.org @plosone.org

"Rather than seeing the feedback as criticism, see it as a consultation" - top advice that I would have benefitted from as an ECR! speakingofmedicine.plos.org/2025/05/21/p... A nice guide to revising a manuscript from @plosmentalhealth.org! #earlycareerresearcher #academia #scientificpublishing

Your regular reminder that without the grit & passion of early-career researchers - often untenured and on shaky contracts - there will be no science If you are in any position of (academic) power, and are not advocating for them whenever you can, you are doing it wrong

Update from @plos.org about the recent @pnas.org paper on paper mill activity and peer review manipulation: theplosblog.plos.org/2025/08/plos... #academia #publishing

Very excited! @plosone.org is hiring another member of the Life Sciences Editorial Team! Fully remote, excellent training programme, fantastic team mates (😇), really interesting and varied work. Must be based in UK or US states FL/IL/MA/MD/NY/PA/TX/VA. job-boards.eu.greenhouse.io/plos #scijobs🧪🔬
