I am shocked by the belief that it is ok to be rude in manuscript reviews. Constructive criticism & challenging drawn conclusions is integral to peer review, but journal editors need to speak out and tell reviewers when their comments are unacceptable. We're better than this.

Absolutely delighted to share the labs latest work. We identify and characterise two pathways for D-ribulose utilisation in pathogenic EHEC and Citrobacter.

Hi all. Frank passed peacefully with the love of his family on July 18, 2025 in London, ON. He was a wonderful human being who shared much of his life with you. We could not have asked for a better father, grandfather, friend, colleague, or mentor. 1/

New from The Strain Team: 🎊 Springer Nature Discovers MDPI 🎊 Springer Nature has spawned a copycat journal series called "Discover" mimicking #MDPI journal titles and citation behaviours. We even made a browser game to prove it (see 🔗). Gross! 😀 1/n #ResearchIntegrity #SciPub #AcademicSky

Today, I take the reigns as Chair, Human Evolutionary Biology, Harvard. Big thankyou to Dan Lieberman outgoing Chair & Joe Henrich, previous Chair. They did tremendous jobs advancing HEB's intellectual/academic vibrancy. I'll work hard for all students, postdocs & faculty in this changing landscape

1) Despite the chaos, I am very pleased to present the terrific research conducted by my post-doc @clarissacoveney.bsky.social. acrjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

Complex regulatory interactions at GDF5 shape joint morphology and osteoarthritis disease risk

Objectives To reveal causal level osteoarthritis (OA) disease biology by targeting regulatory interactions at GDF5. Methods By investigating different GDF5 regulatory regions (R2, R3-5, R7-R9, R18...

Remember when you first learned about genetics at school? All those fascinating examples of human traits that are each apparently determined by just a single gene? Time to check in on some of your favourites to see how they’re doing. 🧬🧵🧪 1/n

Four images to illustrate some prominent single-gene myths. Top left shows a photograph of a person deftly rolling their tongue into a U-shape. Top right shows a photograph of a person’s ear, highlighting the shape and features of the earlobe and cartilage. Bottom left shows a close-up photograph of a person’s eye, with a vivid blue colouration. Bottom right shows a photograph of a person poised to write with their left hand on the blank white page of a spiral-bound notebook.

So nice to be back home in Korea and excited to be at #OARSI2025! Stop by poster #595 where I’m presenting on chromatin accessibility QTLs in resting/FNF-stimulated primary human chondrocytes. I’ve been integrating eQTL, sQTL, and Hi-C data to better understand gene regulation in osteoarthritis.
