Peer review is more than just critiquing papers—it's about building a community. In our latest blog, biologist Steven Cooke discusses how we can reimagine peer review to address today's challenges, from misinformation to public distrust. Learn how a collaborative, solutions-focused approach can create a better future for science. 🌍 #PeerReviewWeek 💡 Read now on the #CSPblog ▶️ https://lnkd.in/gSVjmJWP

🌟 Beyond Criticism: Creating a Future for Peer Review 🌟 Our latest CSP blog post highlights Steven J. Cooke’s insightful article in FACETS Journal on the future of peer review. Joined by 16 co-authors, Cooke presents 12 actionable reforms to strengthen this critical process. In an era of misinformation and AI challenges, he advocates for transparency and evidence-based practices to foster trust in science. Peer review is more than publishing—it’s about cultivating stronger scientists and communities. #PeerReviewWeek #Scholpub #PeerReview #OpenScience #OpenAccess #SciencePublishing #ScholarlyPublishing #AcademicChatter

In the ever-evolving field of biology, the intersection of innovation and routine tasks is often overlooked. Our latest blog post delves into the pressing need for more intelligent minds to address the mundane yet critical aspects of biological research and applications. By focusing on foundational work, we can unlock new potential and drive significant advancements in the field. Explore the insights and implications of this underrepresented area by reading our full article. Discover more here: https://ift.tt/6SQx0WH

Sharing data in publicly accessible repositories is a key component of the FAIR Guiding Principles for Scientific Data Management and Stewardship, however, data associated with publications are often not made publicly available. Our new #blog series, The Stories that Drive ASAP's Open Science Policies, by Dana Cobb Lewis, PhD, highlights the critical role of data sharing to accelerate the pace of scientific discovery by allowing others to build upon the work of those who came before 🔬 Click the link to learn more: https://lnkd.in/etByeR6G

I know you're not supposed to read the comments on YouTube videos, but I do anyway ... and was so heartened to read this one on our recent conversation with the biologist Michael Levin as this is what we strive to achieve: "I work as a cleaner in a supermarket - to be able to hear this cutting edge thinking at the forefront of science is what is the most wonderful thing!" Here's the video: https://lnkd.in/gkBNpMUV

Here's a pretty insightful preprint from the Pachter lab : https://lnkd.in/gUziwec3 which showcases how both Seurat and Scanpy give different results between each other as well as between versions. I think more studies like this are necessary to bring to fruition how as computational biologists/data scientists, we should always be wary of any technical biases in our analysis pipelines, especially in scRNA-seq analysis. Below is one example, wherein calculating residual variances in scanpy is biased towards higher expression genes, while using the variance stabilization method (v2) in Seurat effectively corrects for this bias.
