Expert’s dilemma: An increase in a scientist’s abilities for creative interdisciplinary thinking is almost inevitably linked to a loss in expertise and thus credibility in their home field, reducing the acceptability of the work to their peers genomebiology.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11…

Itai Yanai Milton Glaser, the graphic designer makes the point that personal development is inherently antithetical to professional success, an exemplar being Picasso, who was extraordinary because he regularly abandoned his accomplishments. youtu.be/CqkHigmtEEY?si…

NIH staff told they can submit papers to journals but not preprints - amid "short pause to allow the new team to set up a process for review and prioritization" Review by whom...and why? science.org/content/articl…

My heart is broken as I announce the passing of my beloved husband, science partner and friend, Michael Sheetz. A remarkable scientist we packed 40 years of living into 20. Rejuvenation of senescent cells and mice in Press in Aging Cell; his last words were this was his best work

If we want to thoughtfully reduce NIH indirect costs, we need to reduce the federal regulatory burden that causes universities to hire so many administrators to remain compliant.

Thank you NIH funded basic science

Truly proud of everyone at QUAREP LiMi WG11. We defined “bare-minimal” guidelines for microscopy reporting to improve reproducibility in microscopy. Check out our Zenodo upload! zenodo.org/records/149775…. Thank you all! Or comprehensive guidelines will come next! QUAREP-LiMi
