Scientists at the University of California, San Diego, this week (November 3) reported on a method for labeling cellular structures such that overlaid electron micrographs (EMs) show colorized components. The team described its approach in Cell Chemical Biology.
“I’m sure there will be a lot of people who will want to try this,” said Richard Leapman of the National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering in Bethesda, Maryland, who was not involved in the work. “I was excited when I read it.”
A scientist’s most influential paper, in terms of the number of citations, is equally likely to be published at any point during his or her career, researchers from Central European University in Budapest reported in Science this week (November 3). Nevertheless, assessing as few as 10 papers from an individual researcher can yield a consistent impact level (Q value) associated with that person’s overall success.
