Many journals require submission of a "tracked changes" and a "clean" version during the review process.
If you use custom #LaTeX commands to track changes, how do you remove the commands and associated brackets at final submission?

Nature's guide on how to write effective abstracts
ALT Nature's guide on the sections and structure of an effective scientific abstract.
👩💻 There are so many coding languages! Which one should I use? Here is my take on a few commonly used languages in the modeling world:
🧮 Mathematica is a fancy calculator that is great at algebra. I mostly use it for helping me simplify equations efficiently.
🐍 Python has a slightly higher barrier to entry than R, but it is a super versatile language! Capable for modeling, data wrangling, visualization, and interfacing with web apps.
🆎 C/C++ are super fast but have high barriers to entry. Many packages will be written in these!

1/ I’m excited to share our article "Gendered hiring and attrition on the path to parity for academic faculty" with @hneutr @aaronclauset @DanLarremore, now published @eLife : elifesciences.org/articles/9…
What drives changes in gender diversity among faculty? Let’s go:🧵
As diagnostic testing options expand, so do questions of how to most effectively use them.
⚖️ More sensitive vs less?
🤧 Screening vs symptom-based?
⏳ Test immediately vs wait?
We developed a model to estimate the costs and benefits of these tradeoffs.

This work would not have been possible without the advising of @DanLarremore! We began this as a rotation project 3 years ago in the IQ Bio program at @BioFrontiers @CUBoulder, and it has grown through the years.
🙏Thanks also to @StephenKissler, Yonatan Grad, and @sarahcobey for invaluable feedback. Research is not done in a bubble, and I am grateful for the advising of so many incredible scientists!
