To their credit they do make an effort to explain why it costs more than you might think (particularly if you value due-dilligence as well as open-science) https://www.embo.org/features/the-publishing-costs-at-embo/

But EMBO is still EMBO. It has a partnership with Springer Nature, I think to facilitiate efficiencies with the publishing process, but I believe the ethos of EMBO (an organisation founded to serve the scientific community) is very different from that of Springer Nature as a company.

Is it a new thing that the Springer Nature branding is so prominent on the EMBO websites of the EMBO family of journals? I like publishing with EMBO because they give a lot back to the community, but I find this (new?) website very offputting. Just me?

Weekend challenge: if a person wanted to make a playlist of australian music to listen to on a very long journey, what should they include? I've got as far as:
Men at Work (v first album I bought, at age 10, on cassette)
Nick Cave & his various bands
Go Betweens
The Saints
Expert advice welcome from anyone who isn't going to insist that I mainly focus on ACDC and INXS @npub1kyn…mmll @npub1z77…a5xu

I feel "cell marcescence" should be a thing. *invents entire new field of biology*

I'm delighted with my latest tree in the [@Co_Biologists](https://biologists.social/@Co_Biologists ) Forest of Biologists, not least because it has taught me a new word: marcesence. I challenge myself to drop this word into a conversation before the end of the day https://forest.biologists.com/landscape/?id=93279
