So let me see if I understand Biorender copyrights. You are required to acknowledge in the legend, every figure you publish or show in a talk that used Biorender? A parallel would be to acknowledge Microsoft Word in every paper you publish. Is this fixed? Ignore? Boycott?.

Yo, once again people: for preprints and submitted manuscripts, PLEASE embed the figures and their legends in the text. Life is hard enough already, can't we just do this one thing to make it easier?.

Congrats and well deserved!.
I am delighted to share that I have been promoted to Associate Professor with tenure! I would like to thank everyone (lab members, students, colleagues, mentors, family, friends) who helped make this happen. I’m grateful to be able to keep doing science for years to come!.

Good read. The difference between 'grin and bear it' endurance and real resilience is feeling the feelings: .Are we more resilient than we realise? - My Site

And another place you see this is when the new grad student is just 'going to finish up some loose ends from the just graduated student's project to get an easy paper out'. Appealing for the PI to finish the line of research, but often a boring result.
In my experience, scientists say "safe" thinking it means "easy", when in reality it ends up just meaning "boring". And usually boring projects are just as hard as interesting ones. So avoid "safe" projects, generally speaking.

Agreed. One place you see this is a first year grad student starting on an 'easy project to get going', which morphs of course into a long project that in some cases becomes very interesting and many others, not so much.

Here's some nice biophysics research toward sustainability @BiophysicalSoc.
Why are cellulases so slow? Check out this news article about our work to reveal the molecular mechanisms that inhibit the deconstruction of plant biomass for bioenergy and biomaterial production: Thanks to @scissorsfiend for excellent science writing!.

This is a great change in F31/F32 that should stop students of assistant professors and the stray undergraduate C from negatively affecting scores.

Dear Professor.You are invited to submit original research article as per your research expertise. Article can be submitted if:.The articles are within the scope of the journal. The article is original. Plagiarism of the article is less than 15%, including references. WHAT???.

Simple request to the community: Before uploading your BiorXiv paper, just do the simple step of embedding the figures in the text rather than keeping them at the end like some out-of-date journals still require. Be kind.

Good start here: Successful scientists take into account a combination of biological importance, timeliness, feasibility, available resources, scientific environment, competition, plausi- bility, and fit to a trainee’s skills, capabilities, and ambitions.
