We obviously will no longer ask our editors to evaluate submissions for their suitability for eLife prior to peer review, as "suitable for eLife" no longer means anything.

We are excited to announce that igraph will be supported by @cziscience! This will expedite ongoing development efforts by @GaborCsardi, @ntamas, @szhorvat, @vtraag and @fabiousername, and should lead to a stable 1.0 release. igraph.org/2020/05/27/fundin…
#Opensource software is essential to science. That’s why we’re awarding 23 grants to support open source tools that accelerate biomedical research and serve the larger scientific community. chanzuckerberg.com/newsroom/…
Ever wondered how accurate length estimates of long branches are in RNA virus phylogenies? I did a little experiment: I took a 1968-2018 pair and estimated their distance in the two scenarios below. Have a look: neherlab.org/201910_branch_l…

In the past 2 years, I have fallen in love with #python. But it's lack of a proper image viewer felt like a huge gap within scientific python. As Juan explains in his post, we started dreaming about a fast n-d viewer. It is now reality -- thanks to an amazing team! #napari
I'm over the moon to officially announce #napari, a fast n-dimensional array viewer in Python! With @loicaroyer, @kne42, and especially @sofroniewn, and many others! ilovesymposia.com/2019/10/24…

Met up with an old friend today talking about the shell shock of going from @YaleIBIO to @StanfordMed. We both said how much of a bubble we'd been in always feeling valued and respected. Stanford still has a surprising amount of work to do on gender and racial diversity inclusion

Single-Cell RNA-seq data is notoriously noisy. There are dozens of methods for cleaning it, but how do you know when they’re working right? How clean is too clean? Presenting...Molecular Cross-Validation biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Ready for the #NobelPrize announcements? The underrepresentation of female Nobel laureates over the years is just another indicator of the slow progress on gender equality and why we need #GenerationEquality.
