Associate Professor of (Systems & Computational) Neuroscience @uniofnottingham.bsky.social. Interested in cortical dynamics.
Thanks, but your description contradicts my experience. In practice your system heavily interferes with meaningful editorial control over reviewer invitations, which goes to the core of peer-review integrity. This isn't a 'communication shortfall'—it's a systemic choice you made.
Frontiers2/3 By design, the Associate Editor’s expertise and reviewer invitations always take precedence. The peer-review system is built to support the editor’s decisions, and you retain the ability to revoke, replace, or invite additional reviewers at any point in the process.
The Artemis II mission, taking a crew to the moon (no landing) for the first time since the 1972 Apollo 17 mission, might launch in just a few weeks. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
When does the Nasa Moon mission launch and who are the Artemis II crew?The first crewed Moon mission in 50 years could launch in February, ahead of a future lunar landing.www.bbc.co.ukThanks to all the attendees and presenters at the annual Neuroscience@Nottingham event of @uniofnottingham.bsky.social and @ntuneuro.bsky.social Special thanks to our external speakers: Peggy Series (Edinburgh) and Vlad Vyazovskiy (Oxford, @vyazovskiy.bsky.social) sites.google.com/view/nottsne...

"Among the generations that we synthesized, we found a bright fluorescent protein at a far distance (58% sequence identity) from known fluorescent proteins, which we estimate is equivalent to simulating five hundred million years of evolution." doi.org/10.1126/scie...
Simulating 500 million years of evolution with a language modelMore than three billion years of evolution have produced an image of biology encoded into the space of natural proteins. Here we show that language models trained at scale on evolutionary data can gen...doi.orgThe weirdest chatGPT quirk as far as I can remember. Here's my own go:
