Slowed canonical progress in large fields of science
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences
Johan S. G. Chu & James A. Evans: “The size of scientific fields may impede the rise of new ideas. Examining 1.8 billion citations among 90 million papers across 241 subjects, we find a deluge of papers does not lead to turnover of central ideas in a field, but rather to ossification of canon.”
The newsletter now has a dedicated homepage (thisweekmathonco.substack.com), which allows us to post cover artwork for each issue. We encourage submissions that coincide with the release of a recent paper from your group.
Caption: Gene regulatory networks can explain the existence of multiple phenotypes observed in melanoma. Simulated gene expression based on these networks show that the four experimentally identified phenotypes (Melanocytic, Transitory, Neural Crest-like and Undifferentiated) are a result of further classification of the two broader "macro" states that form the proliferative and invasive phenotypes. These four states can further be subdivided into an ensemble of smaller "micro" states (represented within the circles) which possibly contribute to the high degree of heterogeneity seen within melanoma tumors. To find out more, read our paper here.
