🎉 We're celebrating a new partnership with @huntsmancancer.bsky.social 👇 . They're providing writing scholarships for their early-career faculty, connecting 10 scientists with expert editorial support from our team. Reach out if you'd like to know more. editors@lifescienceeditors.com

Join us this Friday, March 20 for our Workshop, "Navigating the journal editor application process"! www.lifescienceeditors.com/workshop3-si... It's a unique opportunity to learn about becoming a journal editor from former Nature/Lancet/PLOS journal editors. Includes hands-on exercises.👇

Please repost! There's a few spots left on our Journal Editor Training Workshop (March 20) for PhD students and Post-docs wondering what the next step in their scientific career might be. 👇 Taught by our former journal editors. www.lifescienceeditors.com/workshop3-si...

Browsing @elife.bsky.social, I found lots of candidates for this week's #Snippet at @lifescienceeditors.bsky.social, have narrowed to: 1. moths choosing where to lay eggs based on sound emitted by plant leaves elifesciences.org/articles/104...

Female moths incorporate plant acoustic emissions into their oviposition decision-making process

Acoustic ecology introduces an additional dimension in plant-insect communication, revealing that female moths use ultrasonic emissions from dehydrated plants to guide oviposition decisions.

We have former top clinical-journal editors from @thelancet.com and @natureportfolio.nature.com who know what you need to publish in high-impact journals. We're reaching out to clinician-scientists to offer support for writing and publishing their clinical trials or observational studies. 👇

💥 Last chance to sign up for our Editor Workshop next Friday. This is the first workshop of its kind and has been carefully designed to teach you new skills and tell you what you need to become a journal editor.

🚀 ERC Starting Grants Deadline Alert – 14 October. This year, the format has seen some major changes so we’ve refreshed our tips for success www.lifescienceeditors.com/workshops/wr... Golden rule: Make your proposal groundbreaking. Think bold, think transformative—emphasise novelty.🧪

Great story in this issue @nature.com. Shows that the regulatory region controlling digit devt in vertebrates was not copy-pasted directly from fin development. So, the "fin-to-limb transition" in vertebrate evolution isn't as clear cut as originally thought.🧪👏👇 (lovely summary btw).

Aurelie Hintermann@aurhin.bsky.social · 11mo ago

Are digits modified fins, or evolutionary innovations?

Important summary from @plosbiology.org on their policy for the ethical and responsible use of AI in manuscripts. Essentially, use it to support you as an author or reviewer. But don't use it to generate or replace your ideas, interpretations, or opinions. They must come from you.

As with every other walk of life, talk of #AI has pervaded #Metascience2025. 🧵 Handily, @plosbiology.org yesterday published a short editorial about the (good and bad) consequences for researchers and publishers: journals.plos.org/plosbiology/...
