Feels like this paper on protein-templated DNA synthesis by a natural enzyme warrants some comment.

Do we grow wiser as we age?
I spent 15+ years chasing glam journals, wasting time and energy (and frustrating my team and co-authors).
I don’t want to wake up at 70 and realize my life went into convincing a few editors my work was trendy enough.
Enough. I’ll try to be smarter.

Depictions of the structure of CDK11-cyclin L-SAP30BP. Four cryo-EM densities are shown at the top, two molecules models at the bottom. CDK11 is green, cyclin L is purple, and SAP30BP is yellow.

Have a look at our latest results on #CDK regulation, just posted as a pre-print! This study was spearheaded by PhD student Amy McGeoch. Amy has determined the #cryoEM structure of the CDK11-cyclin L-SAP30B complex, an important regulator of #spliceosome activation.

Very moving #InMemoriam piece from @jcb.org @adamgrieve.bsky.social & co about Catherine Rabouille. Her playfulness & humour were as wonderful as her science - her presentation at Graham Warren’s retirement symposium in 2017 was…less than reverential, shall we say 🤣😅

Excerpt from linked In Memoriam

I never had the luck to meet her. She sounds like my type of colleague

Front page of the French newspaper Le Monde. The main headline reads: “Le PS se divise sur sa stratégie pour 2027” (“The Socialist Party is divided over its strategy for 2027”). Smaller subheadings mention internal disagreements, criticism from party figures, and strategy debates following electoral (mixed to positive) results.

Dear potential reviewers please respond to editors especially given the opportunities it gives to authors.

It seems crazy to me to be on the verge of a reject response in Science advances because the editors can’t find another reviewer.

French International Criminal Court
(ICC) judge Nicolas Guillou, sanctioned by President Trump in August because of the court's warrant for Netanyahu, says he has been cut off from basic financial and digital services.

That special moment when an academic graduates from being a postdoc into being someone worthy of rights and basic human respect. Always tears me up a bit.

Ever wondered how a eukaryotic transcription factor finds its specific DNA motif in the vast genome? In this preprint, we directly measured the dynamics of this search process in living cells, revealing a cooperative mechanism mediated by disordered regions. 1/10 doi.org/10.64898/202...

One reviewer used AI to review our manuscript.

How do we know?

Suggested papers to cite that do not exist. Some titles correct, but everything else is wrong or just fabricated out of whole cloth.

Requested citations for things I’ve said in review papers that were citing other papers.
