The main problem are the Scientists who continue to publish with such journals, using the lame cop-out that they need it to have a career. Nobody(!) needs a NatComs paper to have a career. They want the Nature logo on their paper to feed their ego. That's all.

I assigned random gender/ethnicity labels to scientific abstracts from the literature and then asked Claude to do a thematic analysis. Claude identified a clinical versus computational split for female/male authors and a DEI focus for Black/URM authors. All in completely random data.

New collaborative preprint out in which we use @10xgenomics.bsky.social Xenium to do some (a lot!) of plant spatial transcriptomics, led by Jim Whelan's team: "Mitochondrial Retrograde Signaling in Arabidopsis thaliana: heterogenous, spatial and polarised aspects" www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Moss (Physcomitrium patens) protoplasts (wallless cells) transformed with chloroplast envelope protein tagged with mGFP (green). The chlorophyll autofluorescence is in magenta.
The protrusions of the chloroplast envelope are called stromules.
