📢Our new paper is out in @science.org #ScienceTranslationalMedicine 📢 Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is a leading cause of blindness. Patients show vascular changes in their retinas long before vision starts to deteriorate. What triggers these early defects? Could targeting them prevent vision loss? 🧵

The team is already working to expand the platform’s abilities, including testing in clinically relevant immune and stem cells, and engineering future versions of the system that can rearrange sequences beyond one megabase. Learn more in the full paper: www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

During #PeerReviewWeek, @science.org heard from individual authors who talked about how peer review strengthened their work, making it functionally richer, more accessible, more pointed regarding limitations--sometimes in collaboration with preprint review. See author posts in thread below. 🧵

Increasing the breadth of researchers trained as peer reviewers is crucial to upholding quality in academic publishing. Last year, the Science journals began a pilot in which invited peer reviewers could add trainees as co-reviewers, with more than 2200 scientists participating. #PeerReviewWeek

yep - and in some ways Science did this with the technical comments. but none of this is evident in the citation, PubMed record, search result, PDF, etc. unless the paper is formally retracted

The 2010 paper claiming arsenic-based life has been retracted by Science today. 🧪

We won the #Frontiersplanetprize in the national category of Germany for breakthrough in sustainability with our gravel pit study in #science www.igb-berlin.de/news/robert-...

National Champion #Frontiersplanetprize for our gravel pit lake study in @science.org. So proud to be part of this amazing team and huge congrats to you Robert for your encouraging lead of this project. The original paper: doi.org/10.1126/scie... @leibnizigb.bsky.social @svenmatern.bsky.social

If you love #viruses, #ribosomes, and genomic #darkmatter, this thread is for you!! 💫 We're excited to share our new publication developing Massively Parallel Ribosome Profiling (MPRP), which uncovered ~4,000 hidden proteins in ~700 viral genomes. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Healthy people have an intrinsic tendency to form antibodies against a peanut allergen, Ara h 2, despite having different genetic backgrounds, according to a new study. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Downs et al. have developed a data-assimilation technique to simulate the Sun's corona. Satellite observations are incorporated on the fly and model predictions update hourly, akin to weather forecasting. They applied the method to the 2024 total solar eclipse. 🔭🧪☀️ www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Congratulations to Wes Sundquist, chair of the @utah.edu Department of Biochemistry, and collaborators for receiving the @aaas.org Mani L. Bhaumik Breakthrough of the Year Award for their work on lenacapavir. www.aaas.org/news/road-le...

The #EPICawards from the Society for Scholarly Publishing recognize and celebrate remarkable teams and individuals in the publishing, information technology, and communications sectors. This year at #SSP2025, Science took home three awards. 🏆 (THREAD 🧵)

“We are global leaders [in science],” France Córdova said. “We should be proud of that. But we didn’t get here by accident. It has taken nearly a century of effort — and it can be undone much faster than we think.” www.forbes.com/sites/johndr...

Is it "good" or "bad" when skilled people leave low-income countries? We summarized the evidence in favor of "brain gain" vs. "brain drain": www.science.org/doi/epdf/10.... Ungated PDF: johanneshaushofer.com/research

“The clinical trials would never have been as successful as they were had it not been for Yvette Raphael,” said @holdenthorp.bsky.social. www.aaas.org/news/road-le...

Yvette Raphael, Gilead Sciences—with special recognition of Moupali Das—and Wesley Sundquist have been awarded the Mani L. Bhaumik Breakthrough of the Year Award for their work on HIV drug lenacapavir. www.aaas.org/news/road-le...

“These individuals represent the three arms of what is necessary to create new science and then translate it for the world...to make a difference,” said @meganranney.bsky.social, part of the committee — convened by @holdenthorp.bsky.social — that selected the winners. www.aaas.org/news/road-le...

🎉 Science is excited to be a finalist in three categories for @scholarlypub.bsky.social’s 2025 #EPICawards: Short Form Content for #ScienceAdviser, Social Presence for #ScienceMagazine Instagram, and Podcast for the #SciencePodcast🎙️.

Today @science.org's Science Magazine print edition has a new look! It's been 11 years since our last print redesign, & we're thrilled to launch this latest iteration. You can see aspects of the redesigned print version starting w/ the cover, highlighted at the end of the animation below:

This week in Science, researchers delve into the #mathematics that shapes growing rose petals. 🌹 Explore our latest issue—featuring a new print design: scim.ag/42DasUT

"It’s time to stop using this shorthand and make clear what [scientific consensus] really means," said @holdenthorp.bsky.social. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

So, you remember that dress that no one could agree on what color it was (it was white and gold)? We got a new one for these. This study argues there is now a new color (olo) that apparently no human has seen before, and it might not be possible for everyone to see. 🧪 www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Big thanks to @aaas.org @science.org Sage, Jove, @aaup.bsky.social @ioppublishing.bsky.social @bloomsburybooksuk.bsky.social and #UKSG2025 for making baby roo’s weekend…

Can #GoldOA #openaccess survive a shift to Green? #UKSG2025 @rsc.org @jisc.bsky.social @crick.ac.uk COUPERIN - What aspects of OA are more important to you? @meagan-g-phelan.bsky.social @aaas.org: 1 Gold OA journal and the other 5 enable #greenOA - APCs impact both access to pub and quality

@meagan-g-phelan.bsky.social " @aaas.org supported #openaccess #GreenOA for 2 decades. All our convos are researcher-focused which told us this was urgent. As of 2023, we're doing 0-day green. We've always supported #opendata. It's needed to replicate the work" (SR note: 🤔) #UKSG2025

Happy to share our new ScienceTM paper from Yingjun Cui, Erol Fikrig and @aaronmring.bsky.social et al. We built a yeast display library of 3,000+ I. scapularis proteins to profile antigens recognized by tick-resistant hosts, and developed a new anti-tick vaccine. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

In Boston at the recent @aaas.org Annual Meeting, five researchers nominated by an editor from @science.org family journals presented their case for why journalists should take a second look at their work, to discover aspects that have so far flown under the media radar www.aaas.org/news/science...

Just published @science.org On fixing the NIH 15% cap "The consequences of failing to do so—reduced research capacity, weakened scientific competitiveness, and increased financial strain on institutions—are simply too dire to ignore." science.org/doi/10.1126/...

“Students are learning that you should talk across differences, but we’re not necessarily born with that skill,” said Eisenhower Institute Executive Director Tracie Potts. www.gettysburg.edu/news/stories...

For authors, talking to the media “can be an opportunity to provide the unvarnished truth in response to tough questions,” write @holdenthorp.bsky.social and Meagan Phelan in this week’s #ScienceEditorial. https://scim.ag/3EOWJR2

I work as a journalist at @science.org, although not directly for @holdenthorp.bsky.social. That said, I applaud this unusual and welcome set of tips from him and Meagan Phelan for scholars who want to engage with the media. For everyone's sake, we need more openness www.science.org/content/blog...

Such a lovely cover. ✨
