The NIH just released a proposal that will apparently hide peer reviewers’ impact scores and percentiles from the research team, their institution, and NIH program officers.
All the better to obscure how funding decisions will be made primarily via political review, I’m guessing.

New favorite way to color code microscopy data: this is a real 3D confocal image of an unidentified larvae stained for actin (muscles fibers here). Looks like a watercolor painting!

The American Diabetes Association appears not to have learned their lesson the first time around (below).
Now they've blocked publication of an editorial about this event that was slated for publication in the same journal, Diabetes Care, this week.
But here it is. You know what to do.
