Complain all you want about peer review @FrontiersIn, but its current manifestation is the logical extension of a toxic, dysfunctional and irrational publishing culture that treats papers as currency and continues to propagate the lie that "peer reviewed" means "valid".

It's not often that I contribute code to @nextflowio itself, but when @PaoloDiTommaso said that having nice terminal colours wasn't possible, I was never going to be able to back down 😂 Just merged to master. Excited to see what people make of this 🌈✨ github.com/nextflow-io/nextf…

People's concerns about the Japanese PM's proposal to revoke PR status from those found not to have paid their dues correctly aren't about wanting to defraud the state, but rather about having seen governments use foreign residents as scapegoats when politically expedient.
You've only got to look at the Windrush and EU national settled status debacles in the UK to see what *can* happen when a government decides to get tough on foreign residents and people who've made innocent mistakes get caught up in the crackdown.

Yes, a great figure and a great paper
I pretty regularly share the super plots paper by @samjlord and @MullinsLab with new core users, lab members, and collaborators. It has one of my favorite figures of all time. ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/article…

Ok, quick thread on why I think Rust is a great language for scientific software. First, who this is for: you either write in C/C++ or are about to learn, or you write in Python and wish you could have more performant code. Rust is not a full replacement for R/Python in science.

Extra-long tandem repeats (ETRs) such as centromeres and immunoglobulin loci are difficult to align. UniAligner is a computational method for efficiently and accurately aligning ETRs, facilitating analysis of their variation and evolution. @AndreyBzikadze nature.com/articles/s41592-0…
