Lovely news for the summer! My latest artwork was just published on the cover of @cp-cellmetabolism.bsky.social. Incredible science from @daveyboyhod.bsky.social lab! They discovered how pancreatic alpha cells regulate beta cell function via enriched GLP-1 receptor nanodomains.

💡"Science is an epic historical tale, connecting back to the dawn of humanity and refining through generations, and it’s not done yet. For it to be accepted and understood, it must be told as such."

Read this insightful Scientific Life on the role storytelling has in science from Jennifer DuBois.

(1) talk to the editor, not the authors
(2) use functional language
(3) don't speculate
(4) put your strongest points first
(5) make it as easy as possible for your points to be understood
(6) do not reveal anything about yourself
(7) cheer up, this is just Tuesday for some of us

Not feeding into the Bluesky debate but I would love to see more academics sharing papers on here. Revive the ‘ol “here’s a thread about this paper” thing. I think it’s good for the information ecosystem.

Holy smokes! Our article is on the cover of The Lancet!!!!!!!!!! Nbd 💅

The cover of The Lancet with this quote from our commentary: "If we in academic medicine give in to the campaigns against diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility, the consequences will include resegregation and fewer opportunities for marginalised groups."

Yes! "The son of man" in particular. Although the red curtains are also a nod to the Black Lodge from David Lynch's Twin Peaks.

NEW ISSUE! We focus on reproductive health and birth outcomes: we discuss metabolic pathways involved in reproductive disorders, maternal-neonatal health, the mechanisms of transgenerational transmission, female health across the lifespan, and the impact of aging on systemic and reproductive health.

On the cover, a mother is depicted hugging her child. The cubist style of the image reflects the need to analyze multiple perspectives on maternal and neonatal health to achieve an integrated understanding of the underlying mechanisms and develop interventions.
