EU ready to back immediate #openaccess without author fees - Research Professional News

👉 "The #EU is ready to agree that immediate open access to papers reporting publicly funded #research should become the norm, without authors having to pay fees, and that the bloc should support non-profit scholarly #publishing models." 👍💪

You've probably already seen it but hey, perhaps a deeper dive is valuable. The entire editorial board (40+ academics) resigns from Elsevier's NeuroImaging and starts a new non-profit OA journal: Imaging Neuroscience.

'Flipping' a journal isn't that common but it sure has an impact.

1/ What is the physiological impact of dietary proteins on steady-state T cells? Nelson Vaz and Ana Faria, my undergrad mentors, wondered about this question for decades.

https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.abp9563 “Engineered #StaphEpidermidis generated #tumor-specific #Tcells that infiltrated and reduced the growth of localized and metastatic #melanoma. In combination with immune checkpoint inhibitors, these engineered skin bacteria caused mice to reject established tumors. These findings suggest that immune responses from engineered commensals may have therapeutic potential against other tumor antigens of interest.”

Gut tregs:

"Thus, Helios+ effector tTregs proliferate via CD28 and require neither ICOS nor MHCII for maintenance. In contrast, RORγt+ pTregs utilize CD28 and ICOS."

On #scienceTwitter, my favourite thing were reading and, on rare occasions, writing "paper/preprint threads". From the researchers I followed and through the #Twitter algorithm, this became my most important source for new #research.

While people start to do the same on #Mastodon, I have the feeling that I miss important work bc no algorithm "saves" it for me if I don't watch my timeline constantly.

Two simple solutions would be: a commonly accepted hashtag that everybody uses when writing "paper threads" or a [...] @ a.gup.pe group with a similar adaptation rate.

#Question 1: is there already a mechanism for this that I missed?
#Question 2: What hashtag or group name?
I saw #TootPrint before. Maybe #PaperInAToot? #PaperInAPost? #PaperInAThread? #PaperPost? #MastoPrint?

Suggestions and boosts, please, we need reach for this! 🤓​

An important news piece in Science about reviewing preprints. IMO, this is the future - I feel that journals add very little value nowadays, if not doing straight out harm.

I truly loved giving this interview, really excited to see it in print! Very nice piece by Michael Eisenstein, hope you enjoy it

We've published a lot in eLife in the past. We have found it to be a great venue for many papers.

Now that people have had a month to think about the major changes in eLife's publishing model, I'm curious about how you're thinking about it now.

Do you expect to submit there in future, and if so, what types of papers will you send there?

#Introduction Hi all, I’m a developmental neurobiologist running a lab that uses brain #organoids to uncover mechanisms that make the human brain special. Follow me for interesting papers in this sphere, updates on our research, and fun science things I find along the way!

#Introduction

Hi #ScienceMastodon. We, at #J_Cell_Sci, are a #community journal covering all areas of #cellbiology. We also host the microscopy community site @focalplane_jcs. Journal of Cell Science is led by Editor-in-Chief Michael Way & published by the not-for-profit @Co_Biologists.

We will toot about our content, including #research papers, #reviews, #interviews, charitable activities, and news from @focalplane_jcs.
