  1. eLife Latest: Update on our actions to promote equity, diversity and inclusion
    Implemented a standard set of participation guidelines for our editors, early-career advisors and executive team

    Today we published a Code of Conduct for eLife that expresses our shared values and expectations, as well as outlines how we support behaviours that contribute positively to our communities.

    More details can be found here.

  2. Black Lives Matter: A commitment from eLife
    Setting out what we can and should do will be an ongoing process requiring further listening and reflection. However, we are committed to sharing our plans and priorities over the coming weeks and months.

    Following on from the commitments we made here, we have set in motion a comprehensive program to promote equity, diversity and inclusion in all that eLife does.

    We see keeping everyone informed of what we’re doing as an essential part of the process. To facilitate that, we have now outlined the progress and ongoing work at eLife to tackle inequalities in research and publishing in the first of what will be twice-yearly reports.

  9. An unexpected partnership
    Previously, no algae had ever been seen to inhabit the living filaments of a fungus.

    Some readers have asked how this compares to lichens. In their abstract, the original researchers noted:

    In all known algal-fungal mutualisms, including lichens, algal cells remain external to fungal cells. Here, we report on an algal–fungal interaction in which [algal cells] become internalized in the hyphae of the [fungus].

  10. A killer drive
    pollen

    To clarify, pollen is not a sexual cell per se. Instead, it contains two sperm cells that are the male sexual cells in plants.

    Thank you to the reader who alerted us to this mistake, and apologies for any confusion caused.
