Just the science without the bullshit
I want to tell you about something new today: we’re launching the @qedScience Insight Feed!🥂 I’m excited about it and want to tell you what it does and why we built it. Part of it is that I miss Science Twitter 😌

Not only publications in journals - the Insight Feed will tell you if relevant science is presented in conferences (FOMO no more)

Postdoc opening: My lab at NYU Langone Health is looking for a new postdoctoral fellow with wet-lab experience for an exciting project.

Humans are far more prone to degenerative skeletal diseases than other apes. Our new @Nature paper uncovers the genetic changes that shaped our skeleton and uncovers a major clue to why it is so vulnerable to degeneration.🧵👇

We are recruiting students and postdoctoral fellows to explore the molecular and cellular mechanisms that shape neurodevelopment.
Our research harnesses the unparalleled genetic power of Drosophila to uncover fundamental principles of neural circuit assembly and remodeling.

Check out Ethan's new paper on how the brain helps protect fertility from heat-induced damage, now out in @CurrentBiology! Ethan is one of the most independent post docs i've ever had in the lab (and super productive), and this one is his baby. He will be opening his own lab in London in a few months - I highly recommend joining him (students/post-docs/technicians) 🥳sciencedirect.com/science/ar…

Now out in @NatureBiotech ! Do lncRNAs commonly bind 1000s of genomic sites? Maybe they do, but the dozens of studies that report genomic binding maps of lncRNAs are deeply flawed, with probes binding suprious DNA sites rather than RNA-bound ones. nature.com/articles/s41587-0…
A preprint‼️that's bound to ruffle some 🪶 "Widespread DNA off-targeting confounds studies of RNA chromatin occupancy" led by our @MicahGoldrich and Louis Delhaye from @pieter_mestdagh. TL;DR we show that many of lncRNA chromatin occupancy maps are flawed🧵biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Despite EVERYTHING, we're still on for our annual Nucleic Acids Therapeutics next week at the Weizmann! There are still places to register (for free!), link in the first comment. Looking forward to meeting friends, great science, deep discussions, and great food, as always :-)

New preprint! 🦟🧬The key to engineering daughter-killing in mosquitoes isn't what X-linked gene you target with CRISPR. It's when during sperm development you cut it. X-poisoning in Anopheles at last. shorturl.at/T31TG

Professors today: "Wahh, wahh, my students gave me bad course evaluations and it hurt my feelings 😞😞😞"
Professors in 14th century Paris: "I gave a bad lecture and the students threw stones at me"

Version of Record now out in @eLife
elifesciences.org/articles/1…, after a great review process.
Mega project by the mighty @AlanMonziani . I thought we're done with EPB41L4A-AS1, but reading the proofs gave me some more appetite, so who knows?
New preprint 📜 from @AlanMonziani in the lab – EPB41L4A-AS1 long noncoding RNA acts in both cis- and trans-acting transcriptional regulation and controls nucleolar biology biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/… . A🧵 1/n

It’s finally out! Together with @EMBO and @ReviewCommons, we conducted a structured side-by-side comparison of human peer review and our AI scientific review.
Here’s what we did: Authors whose manuscripts had already received journal-agnostic review at Review Commons were provided with an independent AI review generated by @qedScience. The AI analysis was compared to the combined feedback of multiple human reviewers, not to a single report, and had no access to those reviews.
We then asked authors how they evaluate the strengths and limitations of both approaches, and how they would actually want to use AI.
The conclusion was clear: Scientists want AI feedback to strengthen their work IN ADVANCE, under their control. Not as a gatekeeper, but as a tool for constructive input.
That is exactly what we are building at q.e.d! We are on the authors' side.
q.e.d. is not working in isolation; we are collaborating with leading pro-scientists organizations, including EMBO (and other journals), Review Commons, and OpenRxiv (@biorxivpreprint), and are working closely with researchers across fields. At the same time, we are building an alternative model that puts agency directly in scientists’ hands.
Researchers should be the ones deciding when their work is ready to be shared. We are building the infrastructure to support that.
A pleasure doing this with the great Thomas Lemberger @tlemberger and Niv Samuel Mastboim @nivmast
