What’s the cardiac disease depicted in this EM image? Give it a shot in the comments! Answer here: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... #cardiacsky #pathsky #medsky

Has anyone in the #miRNA community tried to interact with the #GTEx small RNA datasets they made available? I have questions….

A Sage journal that holds the distinction of highest number of retracted articles in the Retraction Watch Database likely made in excess of $400,000 in revenue from those papers, by our calculations.

Attention autopsy, forensic, and cardiovascular pathologists! Did you miss this 2023 Consensus Statement with recommended examination procedures for sudden cardiac death? It’s still available at: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... #medsky #pathsky #cardiosky

The Satija Lab single cell genomics day is starting now. Always interesting and free to watch at YouTube or satijalab.org/sgcd25.

Open Access Alert! What are the causes of biomaterial degeneration in patients with congenital heart disease? www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

open.substack.com/pub/jamescla... Interesting idea on paper mills. If we allow a second publishing ecosystem where everyone in mainstream science knows to avoid it and not cite it, it might be better than the current grey area where we live.

This was a great collaboration to determine just how many T lymphocytes are in a non-myocarditis biopsy. Not many! (But sometimes it's not as few as you would think). This is informing us for thresholds on new myocarditis criteria coming your way shortly.

Excited to be part of ‘The best of the USCAP journals’ session. Our manuscript ‘Patterns of Unwanted Biological and Technical Expression Variation Among 49 Human Tissues’ was discussed. #USCAP2025 @labinvest.bsky.social

#USCAP2025 is still going strong, with a host of courses and activities on this Annual Meeting Wednesday! So much knowledge, so little time... mailchi.mp/uscap/wednes...

Good morning and happy Annual Meeting Monday! Today is one of the busiest days of the meeting - with lots to do and learn. mailchi.mp/uscap/monday... #USCAP2025

Congratulations to Cristina Basso for winning the SCVP distinguished achievement award. We had a wonderful banquet to celebrate her career with a heartfelt roast by Giulia d’Amati and Monica De Gaspari. #USCAP2025

Packed crowd and great presentations at the SCVP companion society meeting on sudden cardiac death at #USCAP2025. A good day for cardiovascular pathology.

Congratulations to all of the medical students who matched in pathology today. Welcome to the best field in all of medicine. Very excited about the new trainees coming to the Cleveland Clinic. #pathsky

Looking forward to #USCAP2025! Always a good time to catch up with friends.

Measles is a highly contagious illness caused by a virus. It causes a widespread rash and flu-like symptoms. But measles isn’t just a rash. It can make you severely ill and lead to life-threatening complications like brain inflammation and pneumonia. Read more: cle.clinic/3DPymCG

Big changes coming? Researchers have sued six big academic publishers, arguing their practices are illegal and anticompetitive.

"I thought I was fairly cynical about the kinds of misconduct that goes on, but it turns out I am not cynical enough." A Q&A with sleuth @nhwise.bsky.social, now working at a publisher.

In these difficult times for science, this is wonderful to see: Retraction Watch is thrilled to be partnering with foremost scientific sleuth Elisabeth Bik on a new way to support scientific integrity: The Elisabeth Bik Scie…

This is the end of science as we know it if it stands—15% IDCs for all NIH Grants. grants.nih.gov/grants/guide...

Here is a great new initiative in #ScientificPublishing: * Transparant and collaborative peer review * Recognition for peer reviewers * Affordable publishing: single article submission is only $400 ! www.stacksjournal.org

"Thousands of highly cited scientists have at least one retraction" "Oransky says the results throw into question the practice of ranking scientists on the basis of citations at all."

I just went to two nice talks by our Dermatopathology house staff. Lots of entities in little time. I'd say my knowledge of melanocytomas and adnexal tumors is now skin deep 😀. #Pathsky

You don't see this everyday in cardiac pathology! Great photo. @joemaleszewski.bsky.social

I hope our recent microRNA and EV review might be of interest to the genomics community 🧬&🖥️

A decade of research points to a regulatory mechanism of #microRNAs being selectively enriched in extracellular vesicles. But is this really happening? With Xiao-Man Liu, we debate the merits of this science with a deep dive into the literature. 🧪 authors.elsevier.com/a/1kNW15OfBz...

This is exciting and could be very impactful for the community. retractionwatch.com/2025/01/02/i...

Quick thoughts on my glance at this new preprint. 1. It makes sense. Glad they did it. 2. They don't say if they'll use it to clean up MirBase 3. They fail to compare results to MirGeneDB (why not?) @frommlab.bsky.social 4. They show MirDeep2 overcalls novel miRNAs (yep)

Charles Piller’s new book ‘Doctored: Fraud, Arrogance, and Tragedy in the Quest to Cure Alzheimer’s’ will come out in February. A fantastic read about those who discover science fraud and the lack of response by institutions and publishers. www.publishersweekly.com/9781668031247

I’m excited to have been part of a productive meeting on the state and future of the #USCAP journals. Mod Path and Lab Invest are in capable hands and well positioned to bring important discoveries to pathologists and researchers.

A Science Breakthrough Too Good to Be True? It Probably Isn’t - this is a nice article again reminding us to approach science critically. Good science is reproducible and builds on other discoveries. 🧪

We are going to be teaching microRNA annotation and expression profiling in Oslo in a few week. Register! www.mn.uio.no/sbi/english/...

A colleague posted that GTEx V10 has now been released. It contains the small RNA-seq data (#miRNAs) they have been sitting on for 6+ years. I thought that NIH contract awardees had a responsibility to get data out in a timely fashion. I'm looking forward to seeing what is in there.

Helping a colleague with a miRNA biomarker project in whole blood. Amazed that in the 10+ years since Colin Pritchard warned about blood cell levels impacting results, I could not find a single study adjusting/normalizing/just discussing their data relative to a CBC. Over 10k papers - nothing?!?
