Different types of scientific creativity correlate with time in the field…interesting read!
Out today in @ScienceMagazine: with the amazing Haochuan Cui, Yiling Lin, & @LingfeiWu, we analyzed 3.6 million scientists publishing 1960–2020. The findings reshape a century-old debate about age and scientific creativity.

Want more citations? Publish something wrong or nonreplicable and let the whole academic community correct you. Academic equivalent of Cunningham’s Law.
being wrong is the best way to get cited a lot

I've plotted the most expensive McDonald's burger and the least expensive MacBook over time. This analysis projects that the most expensive burger will be more expensive than the cheapest laptop as soon as 2081

Thanks @mbiojournal for this invited perspective on exRNAs and intercellular communication.
In this new #mGem, Juan Pablo Tosar (@jptosar) and Amy Buck (@amyhbuck) discuss the overlooked importance of non-vesicular extracellular RNAs and point toward new research directions that might drive innovation in intercellular communication research doi.org/10.1128/mbio.03129-2… #mBio

Luminal cargo delivery by EVs is the reigning paradigm for EV communication. Could surface activity be just as important? At this week's #EVClub, Martina Fabiano, Alan Adamczyk, and Matias Ostrowski present "Plasma EV surface-located GAS6/PROS1 and CD39/CD73 attenuate inflammation" Wednesday, September 3, 12 noon EDT, 18.00 CEST Read the Cell Reports paper here: cell.com/cell-reports/fullte… Need the login? surveymonkey.com/r/EVClubISE… #ExtracellularVesicles @IsevOrg #ISEV

Now published in ACS Applied Bio Materials. You can read the published version here: pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.102…
New preprint: we isolated an heterogeneous population comprising both large and small #ExtracellularVesicles. Using a modified immuno-gold protocol, we show that, at least in U-2 OS EVs, CD9 and CD81 are enriched in EVs < 100 nm. biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…
