I had intended to post something about this new Google DeepMind paper that appeared yesterday in Nature, but the press coverage has added to what there is to say. So this is a long 🧵 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

A very tidy blog entry on how to maintain a lab notebook. Easy to follow, super useful tips.

The time of day for cancer immunotherapy is associated with major outcomes. Early is better. Results from a randomized trial of lung cancer, backs up the importance of our circadian rhythm and immune system www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Analysis of 4841 papers accepted by NeurIPS 2025 show there are at least 100 with confirmed hallucinations 🙃 gptzero.me/news/neurips/

"While moderate levels of endogeny are common in special issues, excessive endogeny is a blatant case of scientific misconduct. We define special issues containing more than 33% endogeny as Published in Support of Self (PISS)... The large majority of guest editors engage in endogeny responsibly..."

fantastic work from Fabio Giuntini and @lsoucek.bsky.social and @lsouceklab.bsky.social and a micro-collaboration from myself 😊. @vhio.bsky.social

You know that thing Coco Chanel said about accessories? “Before you leave the house, look in the mirror and take one thing off” We should all do that but with about 50% of the text we put in slide decks. TAKE. IT. OUT.

Your yearly reminder to acknowledge the core facilities you use and their staff scientists in your papers. These scientists are a crucial part of the scientific ecosystem and to continue to exist they need tangible credit for their work. Plus their associated expertise adds credibility to your work.

A saliva test, which analyses men's DNA, could be used in helping to identify those at greater risk of #ProstateCancer, according to a new study led by the ICR's Professor Ros Eeles. Full story ⬇️ www.icr.ac.uk/about-us/icr...

When I convinced the Dutch Science funder to create funding specifically for Replication Studies (www.science.org/content/arti...) I stressed the need to let scientists select the studies to replicate. And in our paper we point out replications should focus on high impact uncertain results.

Was watching Vaiana 2 (or Moana 2 outside of Europe) and the statement by Loto, the engineer character in the movie, is such good advice for early career researchers! 'Perfection's a myth. There is only failing, then learning, then death'.

Talk to your neighbors. Talk to your family. Talk to your friends. Tell everyone what is happening and why science matters (this is not a USA-only post, because we know this is happening everywhere)

What explains the divergence between RNA and protein levels ? Protein degradation is a HUGE factor. It accounts for up to 50 % of protein variation across proteins & tissue types. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... 🧵

Happy #WomenInScienceDay! Still many glass ceilings to break and issues to overcome to achieve true and effective equality, but future looks bright!

Ningún debate. La respuesta es clara, ¡Si!

In 1st author Federico Vignale's words: “Yerba mate, for me, represents the most beautiful thing about the culture of my home country, Argentina – a drink that unites us, accompanies us, and is present in every moment of our lives”. Very interesting study, even more for us yerba mate lovers :)

Welcome immigrants from X interested in science to the friendlier skies of @bsky.app, as documented by a new @nature.com survey (but you already knew that 😉) "Bluesky is much better for science. There is much less toxicity, misinformation, and distractions." www.nature.com/articles/d41...

More than 40 percent of #postdocs leave academia. Those who landed a coveted faculty position were more likely to have had a highly cited paper, changed their research topic between their #PhD and postdoc, or moved abroad after receiving their doctorate. www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/... @pnas.org

In fairness, “you can make millions of individual molecules but there are 13 that you need but can’t make so let’s outsource their production to plants. Also, it’s actually 12…you can make one of the vitamins…as long as the sun’s rays touch your skin like you yourself are a plant” does sound fake.

Yesterday I deleted all my tweets and left a "go to bsky" note on my profile. I wish everyone realised that Twitter/X is a very toxic place where, in addition, we feed their algorithm. And starting today, it belongs to a member of Tr**p's government. Please leave!
