I am editor in a journal. The last time a reviewer accepted my invitation to review was June 29. Currently, I have a ms with 22 invitations (I´ve had more), none accepted. Is it just me? Am I the only one reviewing ms for everyone else? (And yes, I came here to complain)

Hablar en público es, según los expertos, una de las principales asignaturas pendientes de la educación en España. De hecho, siete de cada 10 universitarios lamenta no haber recibido formación para ello en ninguna de las etapas educativas

New review: an update on the pathological variants in nuclear genes causing mitochondrial complex III deficiency. @kristynakc & @Erikafvb conclude that tissue specificity of complex III deficiency manifestations deserves to be investigated in the future. https://t.co/mayGuzWrV9

Currently reviewing a paper - It has 18 data dense figures (9 main, 9 supplemental). It's becoming very tricky to review papers as the sheer amount of time to assess the work appropriately is becoming unfeasible. It's also becoming an expectation to have such massive papers.

If you have the chance to read it, I would appreciate your feedback. We are really struggling to convince editors to send it out for review!

Check out our preprint! We have found that COA8, a metazoan-specific COX assembly factor, binds to the heme O synthase COX10 to regulate its function. COA8 is a COX10-binding protein involved in the early biogenesis of cytochrome c oxidase

Human cytochrome c oxidase (COX) is composed of fourteen subunits, only two of which are catalytic. The functions of a myriad of accessory factors are needed to put together the structural subunits,...

Two weeks left to register for the 8th EMBO/FEBS lecture course on “Mitochondria in life, death and disease” (16-20 September). Amazing line-up of speakers and many possibilities for early career scientists to discuss science and career paths. #EMBOmitochondria #mito
