My colleagues and I are organizing an English-language, practice-oriented summer school at Eötvös Loránd University, Budapest, Hungary, on the Analysis of omics data. If you might be interested in participating, the description of the two-week course is here: www.elte.hu/en/analysis-...

Analysis of Omics Data PR

The course aims to give practical knowledge of data downloading, handling, processing, and visualization methods of high-throughput experiments.

URGENT: FlyBase has lost practically all its funding overnight; even user fees are tied up in denied grant funding. 🤬🤯 Any lab using @flybase.bsky.social please donate using the link in post below. This incredible community, on whose backs our #Drosophila labs depend, can't be left out to dry.

My lab studies bacterial infections. We spend a lot of time looking at (or for) species-specific genetic and genomic databases for hosts and microbes. FlyBase is the best of all—there is literally no comparison. Its existence is under threat. Please donate. www.philanthropy.cam.ac.uk/give-to-camb...

Two journals tried paying peer reviewers and found increased acceptance, earlier reports, and no change in quality. WHAT A SURPRISE! www.nature.com/articles/d41... @balazsaczel.bsky.social was cited from Eötvös L. Uni. Hungary (where I also teach)

Publishers trial paying peer reviewers — what did they find?

Two journals embarked on efforts to compensate reviewers, with different results.
