So proud of our new publication in @currentbiology.bsky.social A wonderful collaborative effort spearheaded by the amazing @ethanewe.bsky.social from @odedrechavi.bsky.social group, with the germline side expertly done by our very own Hanna Achache. bsky.app/profile/oded...
Neuronal RNAi and oxygen-sensing circuit shape germline resilience to heat stress
Ewe et al. demonstrate that neuronal small RNAs can modulate germline development under heat stress in Caenorhabditis elegans. They further show that disrupting the oxygen-sensing neural circuit promo...

Humbled and incredibly grateful to have been elected to the @embo.org Membership. Many thanks to everyone who has supported me throughout this journey, Mentors, Collaborators and Trainees alike. Special thanks to @odedrechavi.bsky.social for proposing my nomination. It is a tremendous honor. 🙏
EMBO Press@embopress.org · last mo.🏅Thrilled to see @yehumoran.bsky.social elected to the membership of @embo.org! Yehu was instrumental in forming an #ecology & #evolution advisory board for our journals while serving as Academic Editor, where he now continues as an advisor. #EMBOMembers2026 www.embo.org/press-releas...
Crete Fly 2026 is a wrap! brain overflowing with info, and heart full with joy, after a week of stimulating talks, discussions, and catching up with old and new friends spanning 30 years of my life. also rocked the OAC with Cassandra Extavour for the first time, the fly community is the BEST!! 🪰🇬🇷
Thank you for doing this! You are tackling a problem without an immediate solution, so things will not be perfect right away, and there will always be criticism. I find the reviews very helpful and also the scoring. Please keep going!
Exactly! I feel at least @odedrechavi.bsky.social is doing something for our broken system. To me, this is also about starting a conversation and thinking what all is possible, rather than it being the final solution. If one cannot criticise constructively, one shouldn’t criticise at all.
Say what you want about AI-review @qedscience.bsky.social, but at least it's focusing on whether you provide sound answers to the questions you ask & solid evidence for the claims you make, instead of judging you for questions you didn't ask or lack of evidence for claims you didn't make...
Absolutely! All the preprints from last year were scored. Just run any paper and see.

Nicholas Bellono@nbellono.bsky.social · 2mo agoHow did animal senses evolve? Max Coyle et al. used choanoflagellates to uncover TRPW, ancient ion channels predating animal somatosensory receptors. TRPW links microbial prey ecology to evolution of receptor structure, sensory organelles, & multicellular processing. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...
Dr. Rechavi launched an A.I. tool, and we need to consider it. I haven't yet used it, and I don't like A.I. in some forms (generative A.I., or other plagiarism dependent forms). But I do think we need to test this too. What do you think?

I am happy that many of you are checking your “QED Score!”🖖 There’s lots of excitement, and naturally also concerns, that I want to address (see thread, I have 5 quick points to make):

That's a good argument (mine didn't make it either :)
Aaron Milstein@neurosutras.bsky.social · last mo.Obviously since neither of my preprints made the list, your method must be fundamentally flawed.

Fascinating! From what I can see (searching “neuroscience”, “cognitive”, “computational” and for what I regard as the most important work happening in this era), this effort reflects a strong molecular/cellular/technological (as opposed to systems/computational/conceptual) bias.

Glad to see expedited pipelines are finally being implemented
This is interesting. Ignoring the "rank your papers!" framing, it's something to think about.
Oded Rechavi@odedrechavi.bsky.social · last mo.When we released our AI review platform, it started a whole debate on what it is that human reviewers can do that AI review still can’t. There are such things, but the list is getting shorter and shorter.
This is so intriguing — can AI review papers? QED was used to review preprints en masse and the results were benchmarked against eventual publication journal rank. When there were discrepancies, experts sided with QED!
Oded Rechavi@odedrechavi.bsky.social · last mo.When there were disagreements between the QED score and journal rank, we asked domain experts to judge who’s right (blindly), and they overwhelmingly sided with QED.

It was "only a temporary place until they find a lab for her". She did not complain. But was it worth it? Will she make The 1%? 57,455 preprints evaluated, 574 selected. See you in 48 hours! #The1Percent #QEDScience #Preprints
Big week! Wednesday: "The 1%" (Wait for it!) Thursday: Traveling to Australia

Nothing is more annoying than seeing a badge telling you there's one unread message or task in an app, then going through every corner of the app and not finding it.
If you were rich, but not super rich, would you fund your own lab? How would it change what you study? Feels like a ghost dog type of mental exercise.
