I’ve handled the review of > 1000 papers at @nature. Over time, you notice aspects of presentation on which reviewers tend to comment. In the interests of minimizing hassles during review, I offer the following suggestions (a bit targeted to climate papers).

We have posted a final notice about our failure to replicate the findings of our 2017 polygenic selection bioRxiv. Jeremy J. Berg Xinjun Zhang biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

1/5 THE LONG WAIT IS OVER! I'm happy to announce the release of rayshader with 3D ggplots. Pull up your favorite ggplot viz and throw it into the new plot_gg() function, and watch rayshader transform it into 3D. #rstats #rayshader #dataviz Blog post: tylermw.com/3d-ggplots-wit…

Can someone please explain to me why top journals still charge for colour? Everyone will read it electronically anyway. As an academic from a poor country I really don't have the money. Should top journals really put up barriers to publishing with them?

Attend symposium 'The Genetic Architecture of Polygenic Adaptation: Sweeps, Small Shifts and Everything in Between' at 2PM today with great talks by Kavita Jain, Sam Yeaman, Jonathan Pritchard, Layla Hiramatsu, and Alba Refoyo-Martinez #SMBE2019

A brave and readable thread. Academia and getting a PhD is not for everyone. Quitting a PhD because you are not happy is not a failure, but instead a brave decision. We all need to realize this and spread more positive attitudes (including PI:s, postdocs and PhD-students)

The depth of my ignorance even in the areas I am supposedly an expert after 30+ years in the field never ceases to astonish me. There are two ways of dealing with this: 1) Humility and collaboration. 2) Impostor syndrome. I make the choice daily.

Our paper "Inferring whole-genome histories in large population datasets" is published today in Nature Genetics! nature.com/articles/s4158… Twitter summary:

Congratulations to Jerome Kelleher, @gil_mcvean, Leo Speidel, and Simon Myers on publishing their fabulous new methods for inferring genealogical trees from whole genomes! Here's my take on why these papers make it a great day for population genetics: nature.com/articles/s4158…

Stoked that our paper showing how important rare variants are for the genetic architecture of gene expression is out today with a few other fabulous papers in Nature Genetics! nature.com/articles/s4158…

I love tea. I love genetics. But we're a long way from using polygenic scores to understand differences among groups in tea drinking & other behaviours. [Preprint version] arxiv.org/abs/1909.00892

🧬 We explored how the forces of #evolution shape the #genetics landscape using #AI. Our findings reveal that most of the #genome is impacted by natural selection, bringing deleterious variants along for the ride. Molecular Ecology | Wiley Online Library onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/me…
