Offensive that we still need international womens day. But womens rights are eroding in brutal ways across the globe. Progress is routinely greeted with backlash - Iran, USA, Afganastan, and so many abuses worldwide. We must stand together with our allies. bbc.com/news/magazine-346028…

Massive status bias in peer review. 534 reviewers randomized to review the same paper revealing the low status, high status, or neither author. 65% reject low status, 23% reject high status. Amazing work by Juergen Huber and colleagues. #prc9

Happy to share our preprint on molecular and metabolic mechanisms of #ALS caused by mutations in a #sphingolipid synthesizing enzyme. A team effort of the Shoubridge lab @TheNeuro_MNI and @MuseerSphinx and Thorsten Hornemann lab @UZH_Science @Unispital_USZ
SPTLC1 variants associated with childhood onset amyotrophic lateral sclerosis produce distinct sphingolipid signatures through impaired interaction with ORMDL proteins biorxiv.org/cgi/content/shor… #bioRxiv

Happy 90th Birthday to Margit Nass, the discoverer of #mitochondrial DNA - the reason we are all more like our mums than our dads. The discovery of mitoDNA has revolutionised #genetics & medicine yet Nass has not received any public honours for her breakthrough. #SexismInScience?

Leigh syndrome @ 70. It’s a joy to re-read this classic paper on subacute necrotizing encephalomyelopathy -reporting in exquisite detail the neuropathology of this eponymous dz. Today we consider it the most common pediatric mitochondrial dz, >80 genes, but still no proven Rx.
