After leaving Italy I always thought that the best thing Europe could do for its future stability would be establish a mandatory year of school abroad for all citizens. Now even scientific evidence suggests that it would be a good idea in the long term.

Tried it on a few papers that I know very well, including one that contains highly improbable data, and the comments were always spot-on. Undoubtedly a great tool to assist in reviewing and to benchmark one’s own manuscripts

Happy Sunday!! Ready for a new spectacular issue of #cebooc?👇🏽 biomed.news/bims-cebooc/... Highlight: PMID 41066539 on the comparison between human and mouse ovarian aging Special mention to PMID 41066576 by @frisophagy.bsky.social on mitochondrial selection by mitophagy in the early embryo

How can mitophagy be an effective quality control mechanism if mtDNA mutations reach high enough levels to cause disease? This question led us into a dark path, full of concepts of evolutionary genetics, germline stem cell biology and mito-nuclear compatibility. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Now published! Our paper on: (1) Accurate sequencing of sperm at scale (2) Positive selection of spermatogenesis driver mutations across the exome (3) Offspring disease risks from male reproductive aging [1/n] www.nature.com/articles/s41...

It was an amazing conference! Astonishing quality of the talks and impressive amount of unpublished data! Also great to catch up with friends and meet new people!

Having your email out there in a paper as corresponding author is the academic equivalent of forgetting to untick the box for receiving commercial information when you register in any website. So the era of scamference invitation begins.
