@MCDuncanLab A good editor will step in when the reviewers are taking personal shots, making inappropriate comments etc Sometime it can even undermine a review that makes important points about the work. There's a good case in this episode of the #EMBOPodcast, where then @embojournal editor Karin Dumstrei & I discussed one such case with the authors. https://www.embo.org/podcasts/the-band-and-the-rhythm/

This one has it all: mystery western blot bands, red blood cells, pandemic disruptions, grumpy reviewers 🎧👇

"The band & the rhythm", the latest episode of the #EMBOPodcast is now online. I spoke with John O'Neill & Andrew Beale about #CircadianRhythm in cells without nuclei and a detective story involving a mysterious band on a western blot.

Check out the latest episode of the #EMBOpodcast.
I spoke with Hsiao-Han Chang, @evogytis.bsky.social & Hedvig Tamman about viruses, hosts, spillovers, public health... & also starting a new lab, the challenges of mobility, mentorship, & Die Hard Dracula.

@mzchem_Murphy @lymphomation Thanks for the heads, I love that podcast - it was a treat to speak with Racaniello for the #EMBOPodcast

@gpollara That was one of the things I learned putting together the phage episode of the #EMBOPodcast with @EmboMolMed - that one of the applications of phage therapy was a higher potential efficacy against biofilms.

In case you missed it, this was a great conversation with Pavel Tomancak & @tlemberger for the #EMBOPodcast.
Everything from the early days of open science to tips on classic Czech science fiction.

From #EMBOPodcast 2022: @PracheeAC, @tlemberger & I discuss Arcadia Science & much more, including her research, #preprints, #peerreview, and #openscience.

EMBO has put out a digest of an episode of the #EMBOPodcast I produced with Fiona Watt & Maria Leptin - it includes portions that did not make the final audio cut. Read it on their site & 🎧to the original episode👇

The most recent Podcast I produced for EMBO was with Pavel Tomancak (and EMBO's Thomas Lemberger). One detail that might get missed in a wide ranging conversation about science, policy, science fiction and more was Pavel's passing comment on how one important consideration in his decision to return to Europe after a very productive time at UC Berkeley were serious reservations about the US healthcare system.

If you're off on vacation soon, you can mine this episode of the #EMBOPodcast for reading tips, as Pavel Tomancak suggested some of his favorite Czech #SciFi authors

One of the things Thomas Lemberger and I discussed with Pavel Tomancak on this episode of the #EMBOPodcast was how we should reward peer review. Pavel's answer was very direct: pay the reviewers.

@martinangler @smirandafield We discussed similar themes with University of São Paulo's Alicia Kowaltowski on this episode of the #EMBOPodcast

For Throwback Thursday, an episode of the @EMBO Podcast on the clinical use of #phage to treat antibiotic resistant bacterial infection - with a brief stop at the Siege of Leningrad.
Featuring pediatric infectious disease physician Ameneh Khatami, historian Dmitriy Myelnikov, and Jessica Sacher of Phage Directory.#EMBOPodcast #SciComm #PhageTherapy #Phage #antibioticresistance #sciencepodcast

Potentially good news that the EU is considering to move beyond #OpenAccess mandates and do away with author publication fees - and fund scientific publication directly.
To me, one problem in the way we talk about this is the tendency to discuss "journals" as a monolithic entity. On a previous episode of the #EMBOPodcast Adriano Aguzzi, Thomas Lemberger & I discussed if funding agencies should establish stricter parameters for which journals could be funded. The community can rate what matters - this is the sort of thing that could give DORA principles some teeth for example. Quality peer review, track record of publishing reliable work, inclusivity, tools for data analysis, etc.
If you want to jump to this bit in the episode ("From Prions to Preprints"), go to minute 19. -
@NicoleCRust It's great if people can do research and are great communicators. But it should not be assumed, or required, to be the case in my opinion. A lot of funders are just tossing in mandates for SciComm in grants that I think are very inappropriate. We discussed this a bit on the #EMBOPodcast with Maria Leptin & Fiona Watt (after min 24) https://www.embo.org/podcasts/i-learned-early-on-that-you-can-do-a-lot-with-a-small-amount-of-money/

Oded Rechavi: “There are a few open questions that are very big, like can epigenetic inheritance, which is typically transient, affect the process of evolution.”

For Throwback Thursday, an #EMBOPodcast episode with Akiko Iwasaki at the start of Covid year 2 (2021). We talked about the pandemic of course, but a lot more. Including her Immunology course at Yale.
"Ruslan (Medzhitov) and I have worked together to construct a course of introductory #immunology for medical students over the last several years. We wanted to approach immunology from first principles, not throwing some CD numbers and IL-whatever at the students, but really starting form how the system is established, how it works, what detection systems there are, and the arsenal of immune effector functions that are used to fight infection."

From 12/21: I spoke with Harmit Malik on the #EMBOPodcast about how he got started, mobile genetic elements, genomic defences, and (with @tlemberger) preprints.
"Just like many other important transitions in life, I think my transition from chemical engineering to biology was chaperoned by a fantastic mentor.
(...)
He made even dry topics seem very interesting - but when he was teaching about the Lac operon and the basic fundamentals of molecular biology I was completely transfixed. It became something that I felt I could not pass up the opportunity to see if this is something I could spend the rest of my career on." -
In a recent commentary in Nature Reviews Molecular Cell Biology, @Odedrechavi & Pavel Tomancak present some ideas on how to credit the work of co-authors on publications - essentially how to figure who did what, now that it is not unheard to see papers with three or more joint first authors (and senior authors as well).
https://www.nature.com/articles/s41580-023-00587-xThe issue matters, of course, for research assessment and career progression. Bernd Pulverer and Thomas Lemberger discussed some alternatives beyond simple authorial credit, making use of emerging #OpenScience tools. You can listen to our conversation at the link below.

"There was a very strong influence of the computational biology community that was already used to sharing code and the concept of open source code was not at all novel."

The latest episode of the #EMBOPodcast is out, I discuss #OpenAccess, #OpenScience and the danger of amplifying existing inequities with Bernd Pulverer & Thomas Lemberger from @EMBOPress and Alicia Kowaltowski from the University of São Paulo.

Interesting new paper from Orian Shirihai's group in @embojournal
"Inhibition of ATP synthase reverse activity restores energy homeostasis in mitochondrial pathologies"
https://www.embopress.org/doi/full/10.15252/embj.2022111699Orian & I discussed his classic work on the mitochondrial life cycle (also published in EMBO J) on an episode of the #EMBOPodcast 🎧 👇

Origin stories:
"I asked (Bert Vogelstein & Ken Kinzler), 'What prompted you to hire a naive undergraduate from Australia?'
I'd put on my CV 'hobbies: bushwalking', which is hiking in Australian.They said that they were so intrigued by someone who bushwalked that they needed to meet me."
Tracy Bryan, co-discoverer of ALT, a classic @embojournal paper, on the #EMBOPodcast
