- This is great news for @dev-journal.bsky.social and for the #DevBio community. Anyone who has had the pleasure of benefitting from Alex's editorial advice during his previous roles will know that he is an exceptionally insightful, helpful and committed editor. Congratulations @amjeve.bsky.social!
- Some news! I'm officially the new Executive Editor for Development @dev-journal.bsky.social, following @katherine-brown.bsky.social's 13+ years at the journal. I'll be writing a post for @the-node.bsky.social soon about what this means for me, and for the journal, but I'm excited to get going!

- Reminder: deadline to apply for the Stem Cell Summer School is 30th May. And it's May already! So you have to apply this month! A limited number of bursaries are available. p.s. this year, the summer school coincides with the Spetses Armata Festival, so there will be a big party on the island 🙂
- The 2025 European Summer School in Stem Cell Biology and Regenerative Medicine will take place 12-19 Sept 2025, on the beautiful Greek island of Spetses. Keep an eye on our website www.stemcellsummerschool.org for updates, or give us a follow 😀 Deadline for applications: 30th May 2025
- This is excellent

- Reposted by Sally LowellProfessor Gina Neff of Queen Mary University London told the BBC ChatGPT is "burning through energy", and the data centres used to power it consume more electricity in a year than 117 countries. This is just ChatGPT, not even all Gen AI. Using more electricity than >60% of the world.
- This is really great. Congratulations to @guijacquemet.bsky.social and all authors. #PaperThemeTune can be anything from the atypical album Milijard by Circle, who are Finnish and also really great.
- Here we share our opinions on "Practical considerations for data exploration in quantitative cell biology" journals.biologists.com/jcs/article/... Joanna, Hanna and I worked quite a bit on this piece and I hope you find it useful Many thanks to @jcellsci.bsky.social for publishing it

- Reposted by Sally LowellWe're disappointed to see Ben Barres's powerful book "The Autobiography of a Transgender Scientist" among the ~400 titles removed from the Naval Academy Library. Needless to say, we're proud to have published his book and will keep it — and his memory — alive.

- Now @steveroyle.bsky.social tells us the many ways that not-for-profit publisher @biologists.bsky.social supports and funds the activities of biologists. Stark contrast to some other publishers, who suck £££$$$ out of science and into the pockets of shareholders #biologists100

- Exhausted at the thought of having to resubmit your paper to a new journal after rejection? 🙁 Did you know you can transfer your paper+reviewers reports from any journal to any of @biologists.bsky.social journals, and get a quick decision, from editors who are working biologists 😃 #biologists100
- Wow!
- Starstruck to meet Manu Prakash @prakashlab.bsky.social inventor of the amazing Foldscope @teamfoldscope.bsky.social He is full of inspiring ideas on how to share the wonder of the natural world with EVERYONE. So important. Maybe there are things we can all do to help #biologists100

- So proud of my dear friend Pleasantine Mill @cilialab.bsky.social, winner of the 2025 @bsdb.bsky.social Wolpert medal She gives an impassioned speech on the importance of community & connection, particularly during these precarious times If you can't read her slide, do see alt text #biologists100
- What can biologists do today to mitigate climate change and have a positive impact tomorrow? Excellent & inspiring discussion led by @biologists.bsky.social Sustainability Officer Teodora Rincing, with @profkatestorey.bsky.social, @sarojsaurya.bsky.social & Jeroen Dobbleaere. #Biologists100
- The Future.. has begun... It was an honour to chair the session on Climate Change & Biodiversity today, featuring talks from former IPCC co-chair Hans Otto Pörtner, & Director of the British Antartic Survey, Jane Frances. Two beautiful, terrifying talks. #Biologists100

- I absolutely love this beginners guide to scientific conferences by @jens-cells.bsky.social. It's not only useful for beginners either- there is lots of great advice even for those of us who have been attending conferences since the last millenium. thenode.biologists.com/the-beginner...
- Reposted by Sally LowellPlease do take a moment to read this joint editorial from @biologists.bsky.social's Editors-in-Chief. I'm feeling a bit lost in knowing how to support my friends and colleagues in the US right now. I wish there were more we could do than 'just' express our concern. If there is, please get in touch!
- Reposted by Sally LowellScientists are facing information overload as more than a million biomedical research papers are published every year. 📚 @drbeth.bsky.social investigates why so many, the rise of preprints, what it all means for peer review and how publishing could change. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hiri...
