Can someone start a journal called “Cell Atlases” so that the rest of the journals can go back to publishing interesting things?

🚨Paper Alert🚨 After 4(!!!) years of revisions, the amazing @KetiCohen & team pushed out this beauty💪 Unlike what the textbooks say, V1 binocularity is not fixed: at high arousal, binocularity decreases while the strength of peripheral vision increases. nature.com/articles/s41467-0…

I remember Ethan Shevach talking about how he reviewed this paper in @J_Immunol and only accepted it because he thought “why not let this crazy idea through”, though all reviewers were highly skeptical. Not all Nobel Prize papers have to be in glam journals; they likely require a stroke of luck in review too!

This year’s medicine laureate Shimon Sakaguchi discovered a new class of T cells.
Sakaguchi was swimming against the tide in 1995, when he made a key discovery. At the time, many researchers were convinced that immune tolerance only developed due to potentially harmful immune cells being eliminated in the thymus, through a process called central tolerance.
Sakaguchi showed that the immune system is more complex and discovered a previously unknown class of immune cells, which protect the body from autoimmune diseases.

Department Chair, @MichaelLimMD and his lab made the cover of @JNeurooncol, investigating the emerging interface of hormonal exposures and PIK3CA-mutant meningiomas, and proposed a paradigm shift in reclassifying meningiomas by oncogenic signaling within hormonal contexts.
