@prof-tregoning.bsky.social argues that scientific paper format does not reflect how we do science: 🤥are we telling a false story? 💡are we dismissing the central role of creativity in science? What do you think? Let us know in the comments... journals.plos.org/plosbiology/...

Does transparency make wings fragile? Investigating wing membrane thickness shows that facing conflicting optical and mechanical needs, wings have evolved thick opaque patches around thin transparent patches, like kite frame around fragile sail: Gomez et al. 2026 doi.org/10.1093/jeb/...
