Excited to join the editorial board of @plosbiology.bsky.social, the #PLOS flagship journal in the Life Sciences. Always loved this journal since publishing in it way back in 2005 and writing article summaries for it as a postdoc. @plosbiology.bsky.social supports selective, equitable #OpenScience

Cool new work from the lab by @chris-morrow.bsky.social: Often we think of auto-fluorescence as a hindrance to experiments - but endogenous metabolites have specific fluorescence we can use to determine the metabolic state of the cell - and predict lifespan.. www.nature.com/articles/s42...
