Editors decided to stop working w/ Elsevier after the publisher refused their request to reduce article processing charges for authors publishing open access articles in NeuroImage set at $3450. They estimate the actual cost of publication at $1000 or less bmj.com/content/381/bmj.p992

The protein concentration in our cells is ~ 200 mg / ml. That's a few billion protein molecules per human cell, similar to the number of people in the human societies inhabiting our planet. We know so little about the interactions in the protein societies making up our bodies.

Researchers have discovered a bacterium—named Thiomargarita magnifica—that challenges the prevailing view of bacterial cell size. It is larger than all other known giant bacteria by ~50-fold. Learn more: fcld.ly/62el7uu #ScienceResearch

I am excited to share the first chapter of an online, video-based R course for biologists. It is meant for beginners and focuses on data analysis of tabular data (what fits in an excel file). @Ryan_Fergusson7 and I made the videos. (1/n)
