How do we find the hidden pieces of our biology? This blog post highlights an inventive approach to exploring the small molecules essential to life—no science degree needed to follow! Curious? Read the story behind this research here: https://tinyurl.com/muppsp8n
Metabolite identification remains as one of the major challenges in non-targeted metabolomics. Here, we describe the story behind our paper about MCheM, which enhances metabolite annotation through post-column derivatization reactions, integrated into a multiplexed mass spectrometry data framework.
Google just introduced DolphinGemma an AI model designed to decode dolphin communication. Yes, AI is now learning how dolphins "talk"! 🤯
By analyzing patterns in vocalizations, DolphinGemma could help us understand dolphin behavior on a whole new level.

Depuis 2017, La Casemate, centre de sciences de Grenoble et ses partenaires organisent un éditathon « Femmes & Sciences » sur des thèmes aussi variés que l’astronomie, l’environnement ou les sciences de la Terre. Le 27 mars 2025, venez participer … Suite
In a new paper, published today in Current Biology, we analyse the genome of renowned composer Ludwig van Beethoven using a polygenic index related to musicality, as a way to illustrate the limits of genetic predictions at the individual level. Beethoven, one of the most celebrated musicians in history, scored unremarkably, ranking between the 9th & 11th percentile based on modern samples. We explain why this is no surprise & how it can provide a valuable teaching moment on the complex relationships between DNA & behaviour.
An interdisciplinary collaboration across two Max Planck Institutes (Psycholinguistics in Nijmegen & Empirical Aesthetics in Frankfurt), University of Amsterdam, Karolinska Institute, Vanderbilt University and others.

#MastodonScience biologists, can you help me remember what is the name of this initiative of #scientificPublishing with a sort of pooling of #preprints that get reviewed and then a few journals partners of that will (or will not) offer to consider the paper for publication?
I think @Co_Biologists journals were among partners but I can't find that again through your website.
And of course I'm happy to read about other's experience with that process.
