@fxquah.bsky.social 's paper is finally out @genomeresearch.bsky.social and we made the cover!! This was only possible due to the brilliant illustration by @sonhita.bsky.social Paper here: genome.cshlp.org/content/35/5... See below for more details ๐Ÿงต

Full paper ๐Ÿ”— genome.cshlp.org/content/35/5... (1/3)

Really important points - we're also seeing manuscripts of trials that don't meet publishing standards. Nature Medicine leading the way with clarity and support ๐Ÿ‘

๐Ÿงช This month in #SciArt history: Happy birthday to Santiago Ramรณn y Cajal! ๐ŸŽ‚๐Ÿง  The father of #neuroscience & a gifted artist, Cajal revealed the brain is made of neurons โ€” not a network โ€” earning a Nobel in 1906.

Reposting to #SciArt

It was a pleasure to illustrate @esmolock.bsky.social and bring focus to the important work she was doing for the recently defunded NIH-funded Postbaccalaureate Research Education Program (PREP). As an scientific editor, her story especially resonated with me. #scienceart #sciencecommunication ๐Ÿงช

Our upcoming 4-hour interactive workshop for PhDs and Post-docs at the Huntsman Cancer Institute next week is hosted by @sfmatheson.bsky.social and @angelaandersen.bsky.social, both former Cell Press editors. DM us if you want us to host a workshop at your institute.

The scientific sections of this stunning research report from @cemm-vienna.bsky.social were written by one of our most talented writers, Katy Woolcock. Check it out (probably the most impressive research report - thematically, visually and textually - you'll ever see). ๐Ÿ‘‡

We're delighted that @sonhita.bsky.social has just joined us as an Illustrator, because she can do amazing things like this ๐Ÿ‘‡ She's also extra special because she was a former Mol Cell editor (@cp-molcell.bsky.social), and so she also helps scientists write better manuscripts and grants ๐Ÿ‘
