Var hamnade miljö- och klimatfrågan i årets valrörelse? Rätt långt bak, konstaterar forskare i den hastigt framtagna rapporten "Snabbtänkt" och resonerar om varför det blev så.

Flyer that says: 

THE DEPARTMENT OF ENTOMOLOGY
AND PLANT PATHOLOGY

We're hiring!

The Department of Entomology and Plant Pathology is seeking applications for a nine-month, tenure-track Assistant Professor in Insect Ecology (60% teaching/40% research). The position will play a central role in the department’s undergraduate curriculum, including ENT 201: Insects and People, as well as additional undergraduate and graduate courses.

How do smells linked to joyful childhood events trigger vivid adulthood memories? @elisagalliano.bsky.social @chloeg-neuro.bsky.social explore a @plosbiology.org study showing that neurons generated around birth help encode these olfactory memories 🧪 Paper: plos.io/3TmixuJ Primer: plos.io/4wKLyP4
Neonatal-born granule cells encode positive odor-associated childhood memories. During the perinatal period, neurons are generated in the subventricular zone and migrate to the olfactory bulb, where they integrate into local circuits and become functionally mature. A subset differentiates into granule cells, the neuronal population investigated by Dejou and colleagues. During childhood, repeated exposure to an odor in a positive context, such a playpen, activates these perinatally generated granule cells. In adulthood, re-exposure to the same odor elicits a behavioral preference, suggesting the persistence of an olfactory memory formed during childhood. Silencing the neuronal population activated by the odor during childhood play abolishes this behavioral preference.

This international collection, developed in collaboration with the Animal Behavior Society, will introduce young readers to how scientists explain behavior using Tinbergen’s four questions. Each article will be co-authored by a researcher and an undergraduate, with an emphasis on clear, engaging communication.
Articles will be ~1,500 words and designed for a broad student and classroom audience. Contributors will work with an undergraduate co-author and participate in iterative editorial development prior to submission.

This was indeed well written and clear. My proposal: all funders mandate that all research they fund _must_ be published in their own, in-house journals. Possibly with a rating system like @elife.bsky.social. This would kill the chase for the elite publication and reemphasized content over venue.
